The beginning...again

This is the first post on my fitness journey blog. I am beginning this journey again. I was on this journey back in 2007 while I was deployed in Kuwait with the Army National Guard. I kept my fitness up until spring of 2012. I really have no excuse of falling into a hole, slipping, but it started when I was attending school full time and then when I lost my mother in November of 2011.
I hate that I do not workout like I once did five years ago, I was in shape, healthy, and not to mention I looked good. I'm not totally out of shape, I didn't lose it all, but have gained some around the mid section and refuse to gain anymore. I am slowly getting back into a workout routine, slowly building myself back up; however, it is hard for me to go slow. As my personal trainer tells me, 'I like to go from 0-90'. That's me, i want results now, I want that instant gratification, knowing perfectly well, I cannot have it as such. So, with that said, here I am on this journey once again, and once I reach my goal, I will not stop there; I will keep climbing.
