Guest Blogger!!

Shocking news! Brent said he'd be a guest on my blog!! When I started this blog, he wasn't so sure about it, but then little-by-little I realized he was reading it here-and-there. Then he admitted he reads it every day, which I can't help but feel so ecstatic about. But for him to say he'd guest blog...WHOA! So I need help from y'all, my fabulous readers. Either comment with a question for Brent, and we can do a Q&A post for Brent OR post a topic you'd like to hear Brent talk about. I don't normally beg for comments, but please, please, please post a comment for Brent! {grin}

Day 1

And so it begins... After 40 weeks (and 3 days) of pregnancy and 11 months of motherhood, it's time! I gained roughly 40 pounds with pregnancy (I refused to get on the scale the last 2 weeks, so I don't have a solid starting point - ha), and about 30 pounds came off rather easy (and by easy, I mean breast feeding is wonderful - I ate whatever I wanted and didn't work out). The last 10 have been sitting here...right around my belly, thighs and bootylicious behind. My work is doing a weight loss challenge across the nation for 10 weeks in teams of 2 encouraging each team member to lose 10 pounds. A co-worker and I are both celebrating milestone birthdays this year (and mine is in roughly 9 or so weeks). So we teamed up for the challenge. And you all get to witness the progress. Without further ado...my starting point! Wish me luck! And if anyone wants to join in and be encouragement to each other, let me know!!! I know I could use the help staying on the wagon.
