My hamstrings, abdominals, triceps, quads, and calves are incredibly sore.
But I am feeling so, so happy.
About a year ago, I started writing and talking about body image issues (and how I counted calories when I was nine):

Until now. (Well, it's been 3 1/2 weeks . . . but I'm feeling very optimistic.)
My family and I went to visit our friends Corey and Mandy Berg at the end of July, and while I was there, Mandy and I recorded a podcast together. You can listen to it here:
I've known Mandy for about 13 years, and she's one of those moms who loves exercise. Every time I'm with her, I'm inspired.

Love,
April
