Hi there!

It has now been over 2 years since I joined Spark and I am still at it -can't believe it but that shows this thing really works! I hit my first goal in October of 2010 and then got down to my second goal in June, 2011, but vacation and summer currently has me fighting to get back to that weight.

About me - My name is Mindy and I am a 40 year old mother of 2, married to the love of my life, my high school sweetheart hubby Jeff. I have an 12 year old daughter and a 9 year old son who are both great kids and into all the activities and sports they can be so I am very busy. I also work full time at UC Davis as a Water Quality Laboratory Manager.

I joined Spark in April of 2009 and have been amazed I was able to develop and stick with a program that actually helped me lose weight. I have been overweight all my life and never been able to stay with a diet or exercise plan to lose more than 15 pounds before I lose interest and give up. Spark has been amazing to me!

SparkPoints: 52,298

Fitness Minutes: 86,012

My Goals:
My goal was to hit 149 pounds by my one year anniversary with Spark but I did not hit it - no fear - I did in October 2010!

Mainly I just want to be healthy and I have come a long way in that direction.

Another goal is that I promised my hubby I would run 2 miles with him on his birthday on 10/10/2010 - still need to work on that - I can walk for days but just don't do well with running.

My Program:
Basically I am just trying to eat less and more healthy food and exercise more. I get up at 5 am on all weekdays and do the treademill for 30 minutes before work. I have an exercise bike at work that I ride while reading my favorite books for 30 minutes at lunch each day. I also have a little exercise pedal only cycle unit that I pedal while watching TV with the family in the evenings.

Personal Information:
I live in Vacaville, California - about 1/2 way between Sacramento and San Francisco - born and raised here. Work at UC Davis in a Water lab.

Other Information:
I love to read - mostly murder mystery type of stuff. I like almost all crime and medical TV shows dramas and comedies. I love my hubby, my kiddos and my dogs and spending time with them is the best thing possible!

This is fast, because I'm trying to get off of here...

But--No! He hasn't noticed the foundation yet! It's hilarious on one level, but also spooky. And of course lonely!

I'm feeling great post Thanksgiving--glad to hear that you had a good one too.

emoticon The last couple of days, I haven't been out of bed before 11am, because I've been sick. Today, I forced myself up because I have to work tonight, but it is almost 9am and the only thing I've done is get the kids to school.......They want me to volunteer in their classes today, but I don't feel up to it....

I'm excited to hear your assistant is going to be back soon!!!

I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving. Dealing with family drama is hard, especially since dealing with holiday stress is hard enough.

If you break the chain, nothing will happen, but it's always good to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out."


P.S. I hope to do it soon. lol

Thank you for all of your support!!! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!! I took pictures of the cake pops and spiders that I did, I will be posting them in a blog later today.

My week was long. Too much work, not enough sleep, ate like crap, too many excuses/justifications, and not enough exercise!

We will be eating our Thanksgiving dinner soon. We are staying at home because my dad ended up being in OH instead of going up north......happens. However, I'm enjoying the pace of the day. We had family breakfast and we all pitched in to make dinner. It is going to be a nice relaxing day at home.

I hope you don't have too many issues at Thanksgiving dinner.....Let me know how you do!!! emoticon

I'm a sucker and I know it!!! The kids get so excited about their treats I just go for it, but right now I am way far behind. I have slept through most of the last couple of days. I'm sure I needed it because I was running myself pretty ragged, but now I am so far behind I'm not sure how I'll get everything caught up..... emoticon

Rachel will get more into going once the hand surgery is over with. She is going to see a comedian with my husband next Sunday as her pre-surgery event and as part of her Christmas present. She is over the moon with excitement!!!

P/T conferences went well. I was worried because Rachel got a 2 in science. Well, it was a typo. It should have been a 4. (4 = A, 3 = B , 2 = C, 1 = D, 0 = E). She is a hard child to challenge, so I am not worried about 3s or 4s, but when I saw the 2 I was wondering what was going on!!!

Your poor little guy is going to stress himself out!!!!
