I'm a 37 year old SAHM (amost 37!) of 2 little girls, Ages almost 6 & 2 yrs old. Although I give of myself to them daily, it is time to start giving back to ME. This may sound selfish to others, but when you are a Mom, you tend to put yourself last and everyone else first. I love my family immensely, but in order for me to be around for them in the future, I need to become healthy.

This year is all about reclaiming some of the 'ME' I use to 'BE' !!!

3/4/08- I have started over and am in my 1st Week of the SparkDiet, called Fast Break.

4/1/08-Moving on to the 'Healthy Habits' phase of Spark Diet.

6/13/08-Starting over w/'Healthy Habits' phase because of my allergies, I did not properly do this phase.

8/19/08-Disappointed in myself; lack of energy, sleep issues, digestive issues, stress......I need to get healthy!!!!

My Current Personal Challenges:

**Drink (8) 8oz glasses of water a day
**Wear my pedometer daily & log 10,000 steps (or more!)
**Take multi-vitamin daily
**Fit exercise into my schedule
**Visit SparkPeople at least once a day to blog, post on boards, record progress
