Introduction Text Hi, I'm Julie... 9/22/10 update - I choose to be Healthy! This is my mantra, I repeat it often. I remind myself that this journey is about far more than a number on the scale. I will run my first 5K in 2010. I do bootcamp and PT weekly. I have discovered that I am competitive, that I am strong and that I can do whatever I set my mind to! Original Spark Introduction: I am changing my life forever! I have lost 30 lbs since January 2009. My husband and I made a New Years resolution to start 09...the same resolution many of us have made in the past...."this will be the year that I take control of my weight"...sound familiar?? Well I started off strong. My husband (a former chef) does all the cooking, he changed what we were eating, we started exercising nightly. Well, he started exercising nightly, I was less committed. We bought a Bow Flex, we bought an elliptical machine and free weights. Hubby lost 80 lbs and is seriously looking hot! Me? 30 lbs down but not close to where I want to be. So I begin my Spark journey at 185 lbs. I am making a commitment to myself, my husband, my children. I will be a healthier person. And....it would be awesome to wear a bikini in my adult life!!!

My goals are: make healthier food choices with every meal. continue to be a non smoker 6 days of exercise per week (including ST!!) continue to work on my mental well being. Get on the scale WEEKLY!!

This is a change in life style, not a diet. I will drink at least 10 glasses of water EVERY day. I will eat smart, well balanced meals I will stay within my calorie guidelines everyday I will make exercise something I do 6 days per week (at least)
