Let's Try This...Again

As I started setting this blog up last night, DH (my husband of five years) asked me "how many blogs do you have??"  Ok, ok- yes, this may be my third blog, but third time is a charm, right?

Blog #2 is fairly new, but the title that I came up with never sat very well with me (Thoughts of a Former Fat Girl).  I hate the word "fat."  Probably because I was fat for as long as I can remember and it's affected so much of who I am and what I've done in my life.  Not really in a positive way either.  Standing in the place I'm in now, blog #2 just didn't fit my new out look and where I'm at now.  I want to project a positive attitude and nothing about "fat" strikes me as positive.  Hence, Fit and Fierce Mama was born!

Here's a brief bio in bullet points:

• Overweight my entire life, including adolescence
• Highest known weight: 252 (at birth of second baby)
• Lowest known weight prior to this weight loss: 177
• Weight when I started getting healthy: 230 lbs
• Current Weight: 150 lbs
• Current Weight loss: 80 lbs
• Lbs until goal met: 10 lbs YAY!!!!
• Things I've tried through out my life to lose weight in no particular order:
• Slimfast
• Weight Watchers
• Usana Reset
• Metabolife (before we knew how unsafe it was)
• Shakeology
• Exercises I've done throughout my life:
• Beachbody DVDs
• Jogging
• Tae Bo
• Bob Harper DVDs
• Pilates
• Zumba
• Yoga
• Jillian Michaels DVDs
• Lindsay Brin DVDs
• Married to a wonderful guy we'll call DH (stands for Dear Husband)
• Have two little ones, a boy (Captain) and a girl (Sweet Pea)
• Those are not their real names
• I've signed on to become an Independent Beachbody coach to help others get healthy
• I have a "real" full time job in arts marketing that I really enjoy
• No longer need medication for high cholesterol
• No longer have borderline high blood pressure

I'm committing myself now to keeping this blog live, viable, and thriving.  I want to use this as an outlet and resource for anyone who struggles with their body and health.  I want it to be a  positive place full of support,  good ideas, and funny moments.  There will probably be a couple of bitch sessions too!
