Who am I and Why am I Here?

So....
I am 25 years old and work as an Exercise Specialist; which basically means I am a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and I manage the frontline at my family owned fitness club.
Just over 2 years ago I married the love of my life, Paul and last year we decided to start a family.....
On December the 27th I gave birth to a beautiful 8 pound 9 baby girl which we named Taya, by caesarean section.
Immediately I fell in love (as all mothers do!) and as I sat in the hospital room each day I started to think of the future.....
Being pregnant you tend to only think of up to the point of birth, you cant make any plans, or decisions for after that point so everything is focusing on "that day" because you never know what will happen or how life will change, so being able to think of the future, in particular this next year started to excite me.

Before I was pregnant I thrived on "hardcore" training. I ran 4-5 days a week, trained muay thai 2-3 times a week, taught a kickboxing class and a Body Combat class, and was known as the "Spin Bitch" as my spin classes were notoriously hard [they dont call it the "Hour of Power" for nothing ;) ] I also used a personal trainer for weight sessions where we worked on the "Train to Failure" approach. Then I fell pregnant....
Immediately I had to stop everything I was doing except my Body Combat class and focus on just maintaining my strength and preparing my body for a baby.
I experienced horrible nausea during the first 3 months and found it hard to exercise, after that I stuck to walking, light weights and riding the spin bike, so a lot less intense. Naturally the weight crept on.
After finishing work at 34 weeks I decided to "enjoy" my time.... Gym in the morning for a Body pump, Body Balance or low impact Body Attack class, followed by lunch with mum and numerous trips to Bunnings!
I ate reasonably well, but still splurged and ate too many carbs, and trained all the way up to labour (did a body attack class the day after my due date!!)
I was a size 14 and still fit into a lot of my clothes although things were a little tight or I bought clothes in a size 16.... so I wasnt too worried to only go up 1 dress size.
So as I sat in the hospital room I started to get excited about going running, kickboxing and doing such a hard weight session that I go home and collapse in a heap!!
I retured to the gym when Taya was 6 weeks old and was absolutely shocked to learn I had put on 15 kilos.....YES, 15 KILOS!!!!
I went home, cried for a while and then a little lightbulb went off.... I was going to become a "Hot Mama"! Not only would I lose the weight I put on but I would lose a further 10 kilos to be the fittest and leanest I had ever been!

I will share my goals, plan and progress until I become "that woman"...

Here goes nothing!!
