Move your body.........NOW!
Time to update this bad boy! I started my Spark experience in early 2010 if I'm not mistaken in an attempt to get my weight into a so-called healthy range as determined by the BMI-gods even though, I've seen what overweight looks like and honey, this ain't it! lol Just had my first child May 20, 2012 and I've been pretty successful at losing the preggo weight so I want to maintain the momentum. Gotta keep movin!
I'd like to preface this that I've been working out consistently since ...

I'd like to preface this that I've been working out consistently since college (circa 1999 to present) but ofcourse, if you aren't eating a proper diet, none of that matters. So, the biggest adjustment for me will be tightening up on my diet which proves easier to do over time as I learn about new foods and try out new recipes. Your girl LOVES herself a good meal. lol
