Introduction Text My name is Stacy and I am a 37 year old living with my husband and two daughters in Northern Nebraska. I started on Spark a couple of years ago and I am very excited about this journey of living a healthy life. It is a constant battle for me because everyone in my family is very obese with significant health problems so I have to be very careful with what I eat and I am always having to push myself to go and exercise. A few years ago I became pregnant with our second child. It was a difficult pregnancy with being in and out of the hospital during the first half and having high blood pressure and gaining too much weight during the second half. Unfortunately I put on 65 pounds with this pregnancy. I've taken off 50 but I still have a long way to go. I'm trying to balance having a 3 year old, a seven year old and a husband who is an Elementary Principal and is not home a lot. If anyone has any tips or suggestion. ns, drop me a line! Good luck to all of you on your own journeys!

My name is Stacy and I live with my husband, 7 year old daugher and 3 year old daughter in a small town in Nebraska.

I'm really trying to get in better physical shape for a number of reasons. 1. I want to be able to play with my children and teach them that it's not just about looking a certain way or the number on the scale but about being completely healthy inside and out. 2. My family is all very obese and has severe health problems because of it so I'm trying to do things differently so that I can be healthy for a long time to come. ****I was selected as Done Girl of the Day on September 8, 2011!*****

Add a Link Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day, a work of art taking form with every breath."~Thomas Crum
