Hello Skinny Biotch!

Where to start....well i guess with an introduction! My name is Allison. I am a 26 year old fire fighter's wife and mommy to a sweet 19 month old little girl name Karlee. A little back story on me. I have always been pretty much average size through high school and taller than most at 5'8" (size 6). I was physically active and in good shape and that continued into college. Halfway through my 2nd year of college something went terribly wrong. I started feeling tired all the time and it was hard to even get out of bed and I began to gain weight and fast. In less than 6 months i put on 40LBS!!! I had gone from 155 to 195!!! I was in shock! After some blood work and ultrasounds they discovered I had a thyroid problem. Well I started medication but was still struggling with my weight. I found a lot of comfort in a new relationship (my now husband). I remember thinking if he still loves me looking like this then he really does love me! Well as they adjusted my medications i finally hit my max weight....(and i can't believe i am going to this) 223!!

Well i was miserable and DONE! It was time to do something. I joined the gym at my work and made it a point to go before i came home 3x a week. I was able to get to 205! I then realized it was about more than working out. It was about being healthy so i joined weight watchers and got to 185! I was on the right path. I was starting to feel good about myself and people were noticing all the weight loss and apparently Darron (we were married Oct 08 was noticing too because we were blessed to find out we were pregnant in Aug 09. Well I tried to continue to run while pregnant but i just couldn't do it! We were blessed to meet Karlee on May 11, 2010. I had to wait 8 weeks before working out due to a c section. Well I was able to get back to my 185 pre-pregnancy weight with light workouts and breast feeding but since i have been in a rut. I decided in November 2011 that i was going to start running and i will say I LOVE IT. It is my "me" time. My quiet time. I still go between 180-185 with my weight but i am a lot "trimmer" then i was. So now it is January 1, 2012 and I am going to start the Insanity Workout! I decided to blog my journey in hopes of encouraging myself and others!

Why Skinny Biotch? We all know her...the girl that eats whatever she wants and never gains weight. Who has never had a hard workout in her life but she still looks amazing! The mom that you swear had a surrogate because she has ZERO stretch marks and awesome boobs. We all just want to trip her and watch her fall....but it is only because we want to be her! Well I want people to look at me the way I look at her so i am going to work for it!

So today is day 1! I will take my Day1 photos and do the fitness test! (pictures to follow!!)
