One Day at a Time


I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 little boys. I have been on this journey of becoming a better me since July 1st, 2012. As of January 17, 2014 I have lost 73 pounds! (I was pregnant for 9 of those months too!). I am continuing the journey towards a healthier weight and a happier me! Had my fourth little guy in May of 2016, and I struggled and put weight back on. It's time to regain control of myself, and take it off again. It's not impossible, I've done it before...just need to support to do it ...

-To start preparing healthier meals, and making more from scratch, so I know exactly what I'm eating.


My Program:
 Daily walks when it's nice outside. Walk At Home videos when it's not. Sprinkle in bike rides, occasional yoga, exercise videos, and chasing 4 little boys around!

    Welcome to Sparkpeople.com, We all adore the moms here on Spark! I have been there & it is truly about enjoying your journey! My3 girls are grown but seems like they were babies just yesterday. You will find this will be way more than a weight loss journey. This will be your path to a healthier and happier you! Here are My tips to YOU: I suggest you log in everyday. Acquaint yourself with the tools because they are key in helping you form healthy eating and activity habits. I love the articles and they have helped me more than I could ever say.

    Have a blast making your page as it is your fingerprint. Change it up & make it your own. Most of us use it as a form of expression and a major source of motivation for ourselves and others.

    Definitely use the Nutrition tracker because it is demonstrative in forming healthy eating habits. Be sure to run a report it will give you valuable information to make choices in the future. Don't cheat yourself out of this vital information and the behavior modifying effect it will have on your eating. THE NUTRITION TRACKER REPORT IS VERY POWERFUL STUFF DON'T UNDERESTIMATE IT! Should you ever need support or have any questions, speak up we have more than our share of people who can help you.

    Personally, SparkPeoople.com has had a very powerful influence on my eating habits. The improvement is profound primarily because of the articles and nutrition tracker. I really enjoy my Spark friends and teams also.

    Enjoy your journey and getting healthier each time you Spark, HiketoHeights
