Ripped/ TrX 2toget Fit Challenge

My good friend, Velvet, is an instructor at the gym that I attend. She is always coming up with incentives to attend her classes, but more importantly to motivate us, her students, to be as healthy as possible. I have completed one of her challenges and received second place. My son also completed it and got third place! She has come up with a new challenge for us. It is called Ripped/TrX 2 toget Fit. This challenge is 2 months long. It sounds like there will be three winners:

* The person that attends the most R.I.P.P.E.D & TRX classes in the next 2 months
* The person that loses the most weight and
* The person that loses the most inches.

I am really excited about this challenge and it comes at a really great time. I am the maid of honor in my friend Tammie's wedding on July 7th and in August, we are heading to Sturgis for the third year in a row. A girl has to look her best for both!!! :D

At the moment, I am very motivated for this challenge, but I know that it will be a struggle for me to stay motivated! I hope that between this blog and Velvet, I will complete the challenge....and maybe even win a prize!

Why I Created This Blog

Last night I was lying awake in bed. My mind was racing. So much had gone on over the course of the day....from craziness at work to a pedestrian getting hit by a car. I decided to stop thinking of everything and just focus my mind on one thing. That thing was my fitness goals. I focused on what weight I wanted to be at, what measurements I wanted to be at and how I was going to reach those goals. Then I realized that there was too much to try to remember in my head! I needed to write them down somewhere, so I decided to start this blog!

I think I will also use this blog to keep track of recipes, exercise ideas, motivational quotes and pictures and maybe even just to vent!

My name is Amy. I am 35 years old. I don't consider myself fat. I would describe myself more as...ummm...jiggly! :D I weigh 124 pounds and I am 4'11" tall. I would like to be around 110 pounds and I want the jiggly parts of me to tighten up. 

That's all....Time to get movin'!
