Join me?

I am going to take a challenge.  I would love to have some friends join me! 

Since I had Asher I have had a hard time accomplishing anything for myself.  I think it is about time to feel like I am doing something for me! With Asher turning one on May 1st I will be doing my best to complete a goal.

I have a passion for fitness. Before I had Asher I loved working out every opportunity I could.  I loved to run, bike, dance, teach dance, practice pilates and try all sorts of new things.  I don't want to say that having Asher has at all ruined my love for these things but it has definitely made getting back into them harder then I expected.  I gained more weight then I should have during pregnancy (about 50lbs) and then with a rough delivery it took me a lot longer then I hoped to be able to get back into what would even be considered a work out.  I don't have as much time as I did before and being a mommy is definitely exhausting!  I am very lucky and have a gym membership with daycare but it still doesn't change the fact that I want my schedule to revolve around Asher.  I want to be with him and Ryan every chance I can.  I don't want to put Asher in daycare and leave him for three hours so that I can get my "sweat on."  The point that I am trying to make is that for the next two months I am doing a fitness challenge.  I will be starting March 1st to May 1st.  Two months.  That is not hard!  I am going to focus on how the busy girl, whether it be a job, kids or just life, can get the most out of a fast and high intensity workout.  I'll be exercising at least 4 days per week for around one hour. Some days may be less or some days may be a little more. It all depends on how my day is going.  That's the whole point of this challenge.  I am going to be living a real life and incorporate a workout schedule into our life.  I will be trying all sorts of new workouts, taking advice from my fitness friends and doing my best to find a routine that works best for me and my family with our schedule.  I will have some guest posts throughout the two months and I am going to do....PICTURES.  Yes, I am a little nervous about this part.  I am sure many of you will even think I am crazy.  In my mind I think I am possibly crazy also.  The reason for me wanting to post pictures is so that I (we) can see if my schedule/routine is actually working! I will also be posting body measurements.  This all is a little personal but I am willing to embarrass myself.  One thing that I need to explain is that I am not a girl that goes by weight.  I may lose some weight or even gain some weight. I will post my weight to show that weight does not accurately tell how great of shape you are in.  I have had a few times in my life where I really feel like I am in incredible shape.  One time (2 years ago) I weighed 145lbs but I felt incredible and extremely fit. I don't care about my weight.  I care about measurements and strength!

So, what do you think? Are you in?  Let me know if you are going to follow along! Summer pretty much begins May 1st! It will be fun!  I'll be posting a couple of times a week along with new pictures/measurements.  I'll share workouts, things I'm eating, schedules I'm trying and I'll even tell you things that aren't working for me.    
Wish me luck!
