Hi Sparkies!

2012- Feb 1st had my last baby, tubes are tied...game on for a new body!!! My story will begin again! Changing my eating habits first. Once I've got that handled and I'm sleeping again, I am hoping to excercise again. I'm actually excited about feeling good again....my hubby is on board with the change of the eating so hoping this will help and continue to motivate.

I just lost a ton of info about my original story...that sucks!! :(

My next goal was to prepare for my first Half Marathon!! 13.1 miles...I have conquered that goal on Sept. 26, 2009. I ran the Akron RoadRunner Half Marathon. I never stopped nor walked during the race and my time was (2:31:03)!! I am so proud! Unfortunately, during all that training/running I didn't lose a pound. My concentration was miles not food at that point.

I continue to struggle with my eating habits. I do really well until the afternoon...then I bomb. I know I need to get back to the basics of when I started my journey. I've really got to eat clean!! This is a challenge for me because I LOVE FOOD so much and my husband and kids love to snack. I use food as the center of my life, to deal with sadness, stress, boredom, celebrations you name it...and I can eat for it. But I know I need to take control of it! I've got 40 more pounds to drop! I gotta do it!!

September 2009 - Its been a year and 40 pounds gone...I can't wait to see the next 40 pounds to go this year!

10/19/09 I started The South Beach Diet Lifestyle, I am hoping this will help me with my carb and sugar amounts. I am also hoping it can kick start my weight loss again. I gained 10 pounds after vacation in June and haven't been able to lose it since. I am concentrating on my food intake now! I know it will help!

10/26/09 First week of South Beach (-5.5)

01/30/10 So I've realized the South Beach really has helped me choose healthier foods. I am so greatful for that. I now know how important it is to have 4 servings of veggies. I feel tons better! Now if I could only figure out how my body can lose again. The scale is just not budging! Grrr! Here's to 2010!!!

Sorry fell off the wagon hard!!!

9/2010 Picking up the pieces with clean eating!! Scale is going down after gaining half of what I lost. Here's to another fight! Cheers!!!

Welp, 2010 was a total disaster for me. Gained it ALL back!!! Lots of struggles and I began to work again. No more me time! :(

So here I am Jan 2011, and I finally feel strong enough to work on me. I've realized that I did it all wrong the first time. I was not working back then, my son was only a yr old, my husband was jobless and all I could focus on was weightloss. All my home stress went into that. I was so consumed with the amount of calories I was burning and not focussing on changing me...hence the reason its ALL back on. Now that I am working I find myself letting go and dissapearing into the TV and food. My old ways. I want to be healthy, but I've got to do it the right way.

Welp, June 2011 found out we were pregnant with our third child. Grayden was born on Feb 1,2012. I ate really well during pregnacy and actually felt and looked great...huge but great! Grayden was almost 9 lbs..a big boy!! After having him I was craving chocolate as I always do and I went absolutely insane with food. So feeling good and looking good 2mos after quickly changed due to my uncontrolled eating. By month 3, I am back up to where I began long ago! Thankfully I want to change that! This is my time, I'm done having babies now the time to get my body right! HEALTHY!!! That is what I crave!

My goals are simple right now....

Exercise at least 1 x week...
72oz water...
Stay within my calorie range...


Slow and steady WILL win this lifestyle.

Individuals born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp like to rebel against authority. Ironically, some will find themselves in positions of authority in later life, and they will use their authority with skill. They fare very well when they own their own business. If they work for others, they do best when they are allowed to work on their own.
Scorpio-Sagittarius may be wild, especially when young. This may be due to them feeling different from their peers. They may choose not to bother learning a trade so they can live a conventional life, but on the other hand, they may experience circumstances when young that may give them a sense of purpose.
To succeed, Scorpio-Sagittarius should follow their vision. They should remain honest and pure in their motivations. They need to learn to be objective, so they can stand back and observe how they are doing. They need to learn to forgive others and be less possessive.
Scorpio-Sagittarius can be very suspicious and jealous if they are not careful. This can keep them from attaining their potential. If they focus on their passions and awareness instead, they can learn to rise above the pettiness and do well. They are friendly and outgoing. Many have a terrific sense of humor. Some may find them a bit argumentative, but they really want to learn not offend others. High spirited and enthusiastic, Scorpio-Sagittarius may be flirtatious and fun to have around.

They love competitions of all kinds, especially those that pit them against one other person. They may enjoy gambling and seem to know Lady Luck personally. They enjoy debate and drama. In relationships, Scorpio-Sagittarius is playful, caring and may become possessive. They don't allow boredom to affect their projects, and they truly want to see every project through to the end.
The Cusp of Revolution is progressive, powerful, determined, honest, independent and good humored. They may be playful, loyal, confident and generous. They are also known for their stubbornness, possessiveness, suspiciousness, impatience, vanity and temper.
Those born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp learn quickly and well. They are fearless. It is very difficult for them to wait passively. They may be annoyingly pessimistic. They appreciate it when they receive praise for a job well done. They may have an incredible academic mind, and would make a good teacher, researcher or consultant. They may also excel at writing or publishing. They are adventurous and courageous, so travel intrigues them. They may also show interest in the occult and other similar subjects. They are very sensitive, but they don't like to show their vulnerability.
