my goal is to get in good shape and feel really healthy and fit. I have 2 young kids and I want to be able to keep up with them (as they are quite exhausting) and I also want to be a good role model for them as they grow up-- I want them to be as proud to have me as their mom as I am to have them as my babies.
Here is a little "case history" of my body by way of pictures:
1. my belly- 1 year and 2 months ago (8 months pregnant- I swear, that is NOT a basketball under my shirt)...

2. my poor tummy now... after being stretched out twice by giant babies....

3.me, a week after Finn was born (a little more than a year ago)...

4. me and the kids now...

I have lost most of my pregnancy weight but, as you can probably guess, I am pretty interested in strengthening my core and losing the last of my "baby belly".
My Specific Goals:
1. lose 20 lbs of body fat.
2. work out at least 6 days a week.... a combination of cardio machines, strength resistance circuit, and group fitness classes (yoga, dance, kickbox).
3. Eat lots of healthy vegan food, mostly raw fruits and veggies, some brown rice and tofu.
4. have fun and feel good.
ANY AND ALL comments/suggestions are always appreciated!!!
