Hello Everyone.
Just wanted to share my progress so far. I started a week before Thanksgiving. I was sick and tired of being over weight and constantly feeling disgust when I saw myself in the mirror. Since my husband and I have decided that we will only have two kids, Evelyn 3 and Aaron 2, there was no excuse for me to not be in the shape that I was before I had kids. So a week before Thanksgiving, I picked up my Power90 dvd, wiped the dust of it and got to it.
Here are some pictures I've taken so far.
