Introduction Text Update: As 2015 is drawing to a close, I have decided that authentic truth is where my freedom lies - I've gained 30lbs in the last 16 months. I'm ready to begin this journey again. My commitment is: 1. I will exercise a minimum of 10 mins every day 2. I will track my calories and stay within my Sparktracker range 3. I will track my Fitness minutes on my Spark tracker 4. I will exercise daily to reach 2000 monthly fitness mins. 6. I will drink 15 cups min of water a day. 7. I will eat 5+ servings of freggies everyday. 8. I will strength train 3 days a week 9. I will be kind as opposed to down on myself 10. I will laugh more than cry 11. I will eat more non-labeled than labeled foods 12. I will run 1,000 miles this year. I joined SparkPeople in April 2009 with the hopes of losing 9 lbs. I ended up losing 20 lbs and finding a whole new me. A me I never knew existed. A me that loves to exercise, especially running; a me who loves to eat healthy; a me who loves to celebrate the life God has given me. I developed an entirely new, HEALTHY lifestyle and I absolutely love it. Here on Spark I have found the inspiration, encouragement, motivation and friendship to continue on my journey to a healthy, fit, happy life. And it is a journey, full of ups and downs, good days & bad days, but forever moving forward. I will never go back to the way I led my life before. This is MY life and I am going to LIVE and enjoy it.

I have recently married my best friend. I have two wonderful step sons. Our blended family also includes, a beautiful black lab/chow mix. Jack - he's my favorite walking buddy when my hubby isn't around. And a cat :) that I am still learning to love (tee hee). I am a very blessed woman learning to make health & fitness a lifestyle.
