One More Mile
I'm eager to get healthy again so that I can be active with my two young daughters and my husband, and so that I can keep challenging myself. My main exercise right now is running; I ran my first 5K in March 2011 and from there I was hooked. My longest distance to date is a half marathon, but my long term goal will be to someday complete a marathon. More than anything I just want to be healthy and set an example of healthy living for my girls.

Elaine!!! 
on taking the first steps to a healthier you. A 
toast to a healthier and more enjoyable life! 
prayerfully you will find that you can enjoy it more than you would ever imagine!!! 
to Spark People. 
don't 
to the temptation of making the journey all about the numbers. It is not about pounds taken off or inches trimmed, it is all about creating a healthier and more fit you. 
Be on the lookout for the many, many, many non-scale non-tape measure victories you will achieve. Feeling healthier, breathing easier, enjoying activities that were once a drudgery, trying something new and enjoying it, choosing a healthy snack versus an unhealthy option, choosing a less than healthy food option over a decadent food option! The possibilities for non-scale victories are ENDLESS. 
drink plenty of water every day! 
sleep well, it is probably more important than you know. 
healthier every day. 
Don't go the way of total deprivation, it is apt to set you up for failure and a binge that will leave you feeling devastated. Look for opportunities to 
every day. 
when you need to --it is healthier than emotional eating! Find ways to 
exercise that you ENJOY. The right form of exercise is the one you can stick with regularly!!! Something else may burn more calories in a shorter time, but if it makes you give up you won't burn any calories! 
MAKE EVERY STEP COUNT. Even steps that seem to move you backwards or to the side have a purpose. Sometimes it is just to get another look at something you passed by without noticing. 
KICK THEM TO THE CURB. You aren’t interested in FINDING them again. GET RID OF THEM through hard work, determination, accountability, whatever it takes!!! 
Just wanted to officially
