Introduction Text Hey everyone, I'm April, mother of two wonderful little girls that put a major dent on my body! (Both were c-sections and I think I used that as an excuse not to do situps!) I only have myself to blame, but now it's time to whip this post-prego body back into shape because I refuse to be the "Fat Mom" and I want my girls to be proud of their momma (and mostly so I can keep up!). Although I'm comfortable in my skin, I'm now plateauing and need that next boost to get the rest off! So it's time to Spark it up! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saw this on another SparkPage so I thought I would write it all down as well! I've been journaling since November. I usually weigh myself every morning although I don't write it down until the end of the week. As you can see I'm hovering at 160. Time to break through to the next level! My Weight~~~~~~~~ 190.0 : 3/20/2010 My largest starting weight post pregnancy 185.5 : (7 months wasted!) stress, work, moving, excuses 182.5 : 11/1/2010 Got my elliptical and started my journey 178.0 : 12/5/2010 I'm doing a 5k everyday, takes me 45 min 176.5 : 12/12/2010 Got a camelbak, drinking sooo much water 175.5 : 12/19/2010 It's Christmas week!

ASAP! ~~~~~~~~~~~ 155.4 : 12/09/2012 It's been a full year and then some since I've tracked/logged into SparkPeople. The good news is I've stayed the same for a FULL YEAR! I'd flux up and down about 3 pounds both ways but in itself, that is a huge milestone! I hope all of you understand that it's a marathon, not a sprint, and this goes to show that I can maintain even though I'm not tracking! Such is life! But now I feel I should get back on the bandwagon and drop those last 20! Here we go! My Motivation~~~~~~ 165: Facial & Highlights (DONE!) 160: New running shoes & exercise clothes (DONE!) 155: New skinny jeans! (DONE!) 150: New iPod! 145: Jewelry! 140: New running shoes & iTunes Music! 135: Vacation! 130: SHOPPING SPREE!

My goal is 130 pounds, I started at about 190 post pregnancy and after 4 months I'm at 160. My height is about 5'5" and i know under this skin and fat is a small frame! I weighed this at the start of college so its my ultimate goal! I'm hoping SparkPeople can get me motivated for the next go round!

I do a 5K on my elliptical almost everyday. I also drink 48oz of water in my camelbak. I try to "eat clean" and live on green veggies, fresh fruit and lots of fish. I've maintained my 155 for one whole year without tracking which is good in itself. I always like to start the new year strong so for 2013 I'm hoping to go after those last 20 pounds.

I have a very supportive husband and two wonderful little girls. I'm getting healthy and fit for myself and for them. I couldn't do this without them!

I'm a huge movie geek! Don't be suprised if I start quoting random cult films!! My favorite movie is Empire Strikes Back but I watch alot of animation with my girls. Right now the movie of choice is MEGAMIND! I also love everything Harry Potter, Star Wars, Twilight, Hunger Games, Comic Books, Art, Oil Painting and Drawing. My favorite comics are Powers, SiP and Y the Last Man. I also love graphic novels like Box Office Poison. Can you see the geek flowing from me!?
