So, I figured since there was only about 2.5 million blogs about women’s fitness, one more surely wouldn’t hurt.    It is my place to rant and rave and track my progress as I begin (again) my fitness journey (hopefully it will not turn into an embarrassing “lack-of-fitness” journey).

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was thin and athletic.  Now, not so much.  I am more like an athlete in an out-of-shape middle-age mom’s body.   My will-power disappeared about the same time in college that I discovered pizza and beer.   A husband, two children, and 20 years later and I still have not found my will-power.  However, I do still have an amazing relationship with pizza and beer along with some athleticism.  I play in a recreational women’s slow-pitch softball league in the summer months.  (However, that usually involves lots of beer, so I don’t think it counts.)

I have started a fitness program more times that I can count, but have always found excuses to stop.  It absolutely has nothing to do with lack of resources.  I have an AMAZING gym in my basement and enough money wrapped up in video workout programs to feed my family for months.    As this New Year begins, I am ready to find my inner-athlete.  (OK, I may use a New Year’s Resolution as my motivation, but the other day I felt something touching the back of my legs and as I looked around behind me for the small child trying to get my attention, I realized it was not a small child, but my ass cheeks. Yeah, it got my attention!) 

Thank you for embarking on this journey with me.  I hope to share my successes and struggles with you, and, because my life is like a reality show, I hope some humor along the way, as I become Fit for once!
