Finally Joining In

I've been following this blog from the very beginning and I've been meaning to formally join in for some time. I'm not quite sure why I've been procrastinating for so long. Perhaps I haven't been ready for such a public commitment. But I've told myself that this is the year that I will focus on my health. So I want to make sure that I take steps to improve my health and fitness.

I had a baby nearly six months ago. I'm 20 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight but I think that's mostly due to breastfeeding because my eating habits and exercise routine are pretty weak right now. I would still like to lose at least another 20 pounds, but what I really want is more energy. I had been following the challenge goals but I've fallen off quite a few times so I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and start over. I really appreciate reading others experiences and all the advice.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say I'm on board.
