Growing up and Getting Fit!
Hello Sparkfriends! My name is Emily, and I am a Florida girl living in northern France with my husband. The climate difference is a big shock to my system, and I'm just now getting used to it. I used to be very active, but that's dwindled, since I work from home as a freelance writer and editor (I'm available for more work, if you have it!). I finished high school at 125 lbs.

Hello Sparkfriends! My name is Emily, and I am a Florida girl living in northern France with my husband. The climate difference is a big shock to my system, and I'm just now getting used to it. I used to be very active, but that's dwindled, since I work from home as a freelance writer and editor (I'm available for more work, if you have it!). I finished high school at 125 lbs. I finished college at 145 lbs. Since then, my weight has fluctuated between 135-145. I am generally a healthy eater because I love vegetables and fruit, but since I've stopped exercising as much, my weight has crept up. My biggest challenge is to get off my bahonkie (my mother's word!) and get moving! In high school, I was incredibly active between marching band and soccer, as well as walking around on our huge campus. In college, I got less exercise, but still more than I do now. Since I'm now an adult, I need to take charge of my own health, which includes getting off my bahonkie and getting outdoors more. My family has a history of heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes. Most of these are preventable, and I need to start now if I want to avoid them! I am always looking for Sparkfriends and buddies. Feel free to send me a message!
