Taking Control
I'm Jessica, and I live in Columbia, SC with my husband, two dogs, guinea pig, and fish. :) I'm a newly certified elementary school teacher currently looking for a job. With grad school this past year, I definitely gained weight and lost sight of my fitness goals.

I'm Jessica, and I live in Columbia, SC with my husband, two dogs, guinea pig, and fish. :) I'm a newly certified elementary school teacher currently looking for a job. With grad school this past year, I definitely gained weight and lost sight of my fitness goals. I'm heavier than I've ever been, and I know that if I want to have children in the next couple of years, I need to gain control of not just my weight but my daily lifestyle choices as well. I want to be a healthy role model for my students and future children, so I'm back on Spark and ready to get healthy again with the help of my Spark friends!
I'm currently doing the Insanity program from BeachBody, so follow my blog to keep track of my journey as I hopefully lose weight but at least lose gallons of sweat every night.
Big, lofty, long-term goals:
Lose 60-65 pounds
Run a marathon
Complete a triathlon
Make healthy food choices as part of my lifestyle
Attainable, short-term goals:
Lose 1-2 pounds per week
Begin C25K program
Mix in different cardio at the gym 5/7 days per week
Track calories and stay in range 5/7 days per week
