Introduction Text 3yr Sparkaversary update" I was just adding my newest 1/2 marathon to my page when I realized it was 3 yrs ago that I started this journey! I'm still plugging away! Working on getting those last 25# off to reach my original goal of 100# GONE!! I am happy with all I've done but I still want to hit that 100 mark! The biggest thing for me this year is realizing that I actually inspire and motivate others to take this journey for themselves! What a rush that is!! 2yr Sparkaversary update: I can't believe it's been 2 years! What a difference two years makes, that's for sure!! I've lost 65#, finished 2 half marathons, I don't know how many 5k's, hit AND broken through some rough plateaus, and am still losing!! My girls have run races with (and beat) me. My 3y/o calls her tennis shoes her "running shoes". She jumps on the treadmill and says "look Mommy, I'm running like you"!!! What more inspiration do I need? My goal for this next year of Sparking is to reach my 100# lost goal and maintain!! I am a wife, nurse and the mother of 4 beautiful girls, ages 12, 9, 6, & 1. I love being a mom and want to lose weight for myself and my family. I want to be able to do things with my kids without feeling winded or tired.

Track food/calorie intake. Stay within my allotted calories. Drink 8+ glasses of H2O daily.

We are a farming family in NW IL. Love the rural life!! Our girls are active in sports, dance and school so that keeps us plenty busy.

I have a wonderful job as the School Nurse at my kids' school. Not only do I have the same "schedule" as the kids but I have a great group of friends to workout with everyday. I wouldn't be doing as well as I am without all of them!
