Here it is May 1st. I’m off on a new adventure, to become a fit yummy mummy. Hopefully it is an adventure that will last a lifetime. First off a little about me and why I started this project.

I am 37 ~ just turned yesterday ~ and the mom of an almost 2 year old and wife of almost 9 years. :) Phew all that in one sentence.
I work from home so I can stay home with my daughter, and I’m passionate about being able to do it. Though it’s great to have a 30 second commute, it is also very easy to let my health and fitness slide. Maybe it’s because I just had a birthday, or because I’m almost 40 *gasp* but I looked around and I’m not liking what I’m seeing.

What’s worse is I don’t like the role model for being fit and healthy I’m setting for my daughter.

So being the person I am, instead of complaining and beating myself up, I decided to do something about it. I have been on just about every diet you can imagine, and I’m pretty knowledgeable on the subjects of fitness and nutrition, I’ve just been unable to find something that translates into a lifestyle change instead of just another diet.

So I searched around looking for something that would fit a few requirements:

• it would be easy
• it would be something I could follow for life
• It would have resistance training ~ but not make me work out hours a day
• The nutrition would be balanced and something my whole family could eat

I’m happy to say I found everything I was looking for in one program. Fit Yummy Mummy. Don’t you just love the way it sounds? It rolls off the tongue, and who doesn’t want to be yummy?

Besides the outward yumminess of the program, it is packed with great information, all the exercises are well laid out. You don’t have to buy a bunch of equipment ~ in fact, none in the beginning. You only have to do 90 minutes of exercise per WEEK!! It’s based on sound exercise principles and includes resistance training and interval cardio (which has really worked for me in the past). Nutrition is based on eating a wide variety of foods. Nothing is off limits ~ which is great, because as soon as someone says I can’t have ice cream, you know I can’t get it off my mind. :)

So I found the program. I’m currently setting goals, and gathering a support system which is necessary for any new endeavor, and especially one I am hoping to make a lifelong change. I have decided to start the program on Monday, which will be May 5. I have to get the menus ready and go shopping and get psyched up.

I decided to start this blog because I have a tendency to get ramped up about something only to lose motivation not very far into it. I figure this blog will help me stay focused and motivated ~ because I will be helping others, and it will give me a way to track my progress and keep all the interesting stuff I find along the way.

I really want to hear from you. Since I’m counting on you to help me stay motivated please leave comments, let’s get into conversation. Subscribe to my RSS feed so you know each time I update the blog and you can come back and get the recipe or just see how I’m doing.

If you decide to get Fit Yummy Mummy and work the program along with me there is also a great community that goes along with it. You can join Club Fit Yummy Mummy and we can be one another’s support team.

I can’t wait to get started. I can’t wait to meet you. I can’t wait to start seeing results and changes in my body.

Come back Monday ~ where, God help me I will be posting my current photo and measurements ~ for the entire blogosphere. YIKES.

Look forward to seeing you and I hope you decide to come on this Fit Yummy Mummy journey with me!
