(Before you think I've gone completely over the edge, I'm not talking about the American Pie meaning of MILF....)
When I first started working out, Kyle recommended I read Working Out Sucks! by Chuck Runyon who is the CEO and co-founder of Anytime Fitness. The book basically takes every excuse in the world that we use to avoid living a healthier lifestyle and helps you realize that there are a lot of things worse than working out and eating right. My favorite chapter is, you guessed it, about MILFs.

See it's not as bad as what you might be thinking. I never in a million years thought I would want to be a MILF. An active lifestyle for me was sitting on the sidelines watching Toby play football or in the bleachers while he's running up and down the court in a basketball game. He's the athlete and I'm the football/basketball mom cheering him on. My "weekly workout" was watching The Biggest Loser or my favorite Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition and running to the kitchen on commercials for a bowl of ice cream or a bag of chips.
The past couple of months, however, I am finding that I want to be able to do more than just watch the action. I want to keep pushing myself. I still have the little voice in the back of my mind expressing doubts and fears, but I keep going and I know I'm not going to give up. This morning during Kyle's boot camp was the first time I truly felt super proud of myself and how far I've come physically. I never want to let go of that feeling of accomplishment. When (not if!) I reach my goal weight I'm not going to quit and go back to just being a spectator. I will be a MILF no matter how long it takes me to get there.
