I just graduated from college in May 2009, and I have joined the world of work work work. I went through a pretty bad time last summer while I was looking for my job and gained almost twenty pounds. I have gotten off about 8 of those pounds and now I am trying to get off the rest and get back to what I was. Besides trying to lose the weight I am doing this to feel good about myself. I was really active in high school and on and off in college and have learned that everytime I was actively working out and eating healthy I felt so much better (about how I looked and had so much less stress). So I am doing this to get that feeling back.

Update: I just got engaged, so know I have even more of a reason to get in shape. Can't wait until November 19, 2011 when I will become Mrs. Rocio. Yeah I know it sounds like a long time away, but I want to be at my goal weight before I even start looking at wedding dresses.
