Wooo hooo!

So fun to see all these ladies from all over!

I am so excited to start this challenge!  I need it!!!

I was able to participate in the last one and it was awesome.  There were some tough competitors!  Stephanie being one of the hardest! 

What I learned from the last one...
I can do hard things.
Hard things make me stronger (both mentally and physically).
Every little bit helps.
Sometimes inches are better than weight.
I love water!
Produce is my friend.

So, here is my weight story...we struggled to have children for about 4 years.  I had several miscarriages and it finally got to the point where I was put on steroids and hormones to help keep the pregnancy.  I started the steroids and put on about 20lbs, about 4 years ago.  Totally worth it, because I got pregnant and had our first child...John Darren(who is now 3).  I also added about 50 more lbs to that 20!  When Darren turned 1, I found out I was expecting with child 2, Audrey Rose(who is now 1).  This time I only put on my 30lbs.  Whew!
Now, I'm finally to the point where I can start focusing the pre-pre baby weight. :)  I've lost about 45lbs and still have 35 more...but I will take just 5, if I can get it!

I am so grateful for these challenges and having awesome support from ladies all over who have their own health journeys.  Go us!!!

Here is my before and after from last time!
