I smell a CHALLENGE!!

I like to blog as a means to track progress, stay focused and have something to look back on when I'm hitting some challenges. I don't always do a good job about posting regularly.
My friend, Eternal Lizdom, posted on Facebook about this FitCity Mom contest :
The selected bloggers will receive:
» A three-month membership to the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis.

» $100 worth of program credits toward classes and programs at the YMCA.
» A massage from Resolve Massage Therapy.
» A grocery store tour and menu-planning recommendations from Alec Smith, RD, of Feel Good Nutrition.
» Two entries in the May 19, 2012 Geist Half Marathon and 5K .

Yes, please! To all of it! I'm a new and current YMCA member- but who wouldn't love program credits and a massage! I've also been trying to decide which spring half marathon to train for- I think fate just told me!
 
I think I would be an excellent FitCity Mom because- I'm a very busy, working-outside-of-the-home mom of 2 who faces challenges of work travel, business lunches and every day things that get in the way. I've lost 70 lbs in the last 2 years- and I am focused this year on getting to my goal weight but the number on the scale isn't as important as the level of fitness and health I achieve and maintain. I love to encourage others, break the mold and show that anyone can do what they set their mind to. It would give me an excellent reason and purpose to blog regularly again.
Since starting my journey 2 years ago- I've become an avid runner and gym rat. I've had my hurdles and faults but I want to be a FitCity Mom and lead by example!
Let's Go! Let's Go! Let's Go!
