New Beginnings...
I moved to the USA from England in Summer 2008 and since moving I've put on a bunch of weight. Fast forward a couple of years, a weight loss of 30lbs and a baby later - some of the weight has crept back on. I want to develop a healthy lifestyle, lose some weight and take control of my life so I feel good about myself again as well as happy and proud of how I look. I also want to be a good role model for my baby as he grows up and for him to develop good healthy eating habits :)

I also want to be a good role model for my baby as he grows up and for him to develop good healthy eating habits :)
I joined Spark in October 2008 when I was at my lowest and started making some good changes: drinking 8 cups of water a day, making healthy meals. I am determined to not burn out - I am going to remain motivated through being as active as I can with a baby in my Teams!

I'll fill this in as I develop my healthy lifestyle. I will include my exercise/activity program, what I try to eat and any information I have picked up that I have found useful - hopefully it will help other people as well :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♥Nutrition: Track food. Eat at least three meals a day. Keep within Spark calorie limit. Aim to eat 5 servings of fruit/veg per day. Drink 8-10 cups of water a day. Allow small treats in sensible portion sizes. Don't deny myself anything I enjoy in moderation.
♥Cardio: Complete 10 minutes of cardio a day at least five days a week. It's a low goal, but I want something realistic as I balance my life with a baby - if I can do more then great! Hopefully I can build up to longer stretches and maybe even incorporate my son!
♥Strength: Carry out challenges on Spark to complete strength training. Aiming for 10 minutes a day, or fit in sets of reps for upper, core or lower each day, rotating on a daily basis.
