Introduction Text I miss being energetic. I miss checking myself out and being impressed. I miss being proud of my body. 12 years since I had to put the volleyball aside. 5 years since I had a baby. 2021, I’m coming for ya! They have a new weight lifting gym and a public volleyball gym around the corner... I’m going to get my routine going until the end of March. I’ve tried to start up too quickly before and ended up injured, so starting slow and working to the goal. I’m a pharmacist in Missouri, married almost 10 years to my bestie. Favorite color: purple. Favorite food that’s bad for me: Mac and Cheese. Looking forward to (in no particular order): playing more with my son, no more “Momma, wake up! Momma, get up!”, no more sausage arms, new clothes!, wearing heels/boots/shorts/skirts/dresses again, putting on compression socks without getting out of breath, saving money on the chiropractor, easier to shave my legs, nice compliments, improved moods, walking around the subdivision without slowing down, avoiding diabetes, improving immune system, better skin, and showing those b*tches I can 💪🏻

I would like to live a lifestyle that I can be proud of! I want to set a good example as a healthcare professional! I would like to feel proud of my body again! I want to get my energy levels up!

My husband and I are working together to adjust our eating habits and physical activity levels. We will plan meals by the week and shop together to hold eachother accountable for the foods that we buy (which is sometimes the hardest part!) We will make time to research ways to save money, take in less calories (ex. low-cal adult beverages, low-cal snacks), and get a little extra movement in our lives (parking the car further away in the parking lot, taking the stairs, etc)

I am from Saint Louis, Missouri, and just graduated from the Saint Louis College of Pharmacy! I married my best friend on 7/2/11, and we live with our two cats (Boy George and Joanie) in the Central West End. I spent most of my childhood in Rochester, New York, where I played a TON of volleyball. I mean, A TON.

I love to read, laugh, spend time with friends, have dance parties by myself or with others... I'm new at Spark, but I'm open to making changes (starting yoga, biking, running long distance, etc) But most importantly, I'm a super Jesus Freak! He has gotten me this far, and he will take me all the way through the struggles that I'm sure will come up in my life :-)
