Introduction Text August 2, 2012: This has been a terrible year. I'm focusing on recovery and just trying to survive. July 3, 2011: I have maintained my weight loss from a year ago, but still have 20 lbs to go. I've lost 30.2 pounds since May of 2010. I've run a 5K and a Triathlon. I'd like to run a 10K, 1/2 marathon and maybe even a full marathon. I'd also like to compete in two triathlons. I found a swimming club to join and I'm excited for the last half of the year. July 16, 2010: I have changed my goals after losing 62 lbs since December 2009. I am now in a healthy BMI and I have less than 40 lbs to go so I am setting goals that are built on my early weight loss achievements but start from when I started adding exercise into my weight loss program (May 9th, 2010). Since then, I have lost 24 lbs and close to 14 inches all over, and I went from a size 16 to an 8! I can run 3 miles (9:30 min/miles is the current personal best), swim 2800 meters, and spin for an hour. I am looking to build in stregth training other than my 18 pound lifts at home (picking up my baby...lol). I am always looking for SparkFriends and I love reading blogs. BACKGROUND: I am the proud mother of two, one who is 4 years old and a 7-month old. I gained 90 pounds during my first pregnancy and I lost all 90 plus 20 more over a year and it was perfect. Then, I gained back 35 lbs while finishing my degree, moving to Houston and starting a new job. Next, we decided to have another child... and 65 MORE pounds later my second daughter was born. Now, I am determined to get back to where I was after the first child.

I have been running, cycling, swimming and rowing. I love trying new things and playing with my kids like I am still a kid. 1500 calories a day Lots of fruits & veggies Low "bad" fats Plenty of water

I was born and raised in Michigan. Yuck, snow! I recently moved to Houston, finished my graduate degree and started a new job. I have always been known for taking too much on in life. I look forward to slowing things down a bit.
