Introduction Text Hello! My name is Angie. I joined Sparkpeople to lose about 10 pounds and get back to my weight that I was in college. I currently live in Las Cruces, NM. I just had my first baby this past August and have gained 56 pounds! I am now trying to lose the baby weight! I run 5ks, 10ks, half and full marathons as well as triathlons. I have currently ran in 7 marathons: Women’s Nike Marathon in San Francisco The Battan Death March, in Alamogordo, NM, Rock ’n Roll in AZ Denver Marathon Duke City Marathon ( 2010, 2012) Nashville Rock'n Roll Marathon, Nashville, TN New York City ING 2012 ( was cancelled but is running in 2015!) I swim with my masters swim team on Tue, Thur, and Sat mornings for cross training. I am currently trying to eat a high protein diet, lower carbs with little processed foods. My goal is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 150 and then surpass that and get to 145! I was on the right track before the holidays hit but gained some during the holidays so now I am back to losing about 25 pounds to reach my goal of 145!

I gave birth to my first child, a boy, Sammy in August. I gained 56 pounds while pregnant.. yikes! My goal is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 150 and then surpass that and get to 145! So far I have ran 2 marathons and one half since having Sammy, my baby boy who is now a toddler.

I am currently training for a half marathon in late February. Here is my workout schedule Monday - run/ strength Tuesday- Swimming Wed- run/ strength ( spinning) Thurs- Swimming Friday- run/ strength Sat- Swimming (2 hours) Sunday- long run I am not following any plan for my half marathon just trying to get in miles during the week and one long run on Sunday ( between 9-13 miles) I am trying to eat a low carb, high protein diet in hopes it will help me lose this baby weight. Rewards: 165- new purse 160- new running shoes 155-new workout outfit 150- pedi 145- new outfit!
