Hi Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself and use this page as a resource for lifting. My name is Elvira, but some call me El. Im 31 and Ive had 4 children (which I love so much! 
Im pretty active and always have been. When I was younger I played basketball, ran track and did multiple races. I always placed and loved how it made me look and feel. Since the beginning of 2013 I decided to make a lot of changes in my life and my health and started hitting the gym again. (with kids and work finding the time can be difficult but Im getting more and more serious about this) I was introduced to lifting earlier in the year and never thought of myself as someone who could/would seriously lift. I started on my own from what little I knew but I love how it makes me feel and the results I see. I gain muscle but continue to lose pant sizes. I can tell a definite difference in my strength as well. It has increased my stamina at work, which requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time and lift patients. All around it has helped in every aspect of my life!
Im looking for any help, points, routines, journals that can help. Im so excited to see more changes and learn. I love trying new things, but I want this to be a long term thing I continue for years to come.
