Introduction Text I'm Heather and I'm on my way to a healthier life-style. I'm bringing my husband Doug and our beautiful daughters Madison ('03) & Reese ('07) along for the ride :) As a teenager I was very active in sports- tennis, soccer and softball were all main activites of mine. After hitting college I gained 15, got married, had a baby. After a difficult post-pregnancy I gained weight and didn't care much about my health or losing weight. I finally decided to change my life. In January of 2007 I started exercising regularly and watching what I ate. I dropped 20 pounds in 4 months I was so proud of myself and I felt great!!! A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant with our second child :) Thankfully, I stayed healthy and exercised through most of my pregnancy and gained 17 pounds. Now it's 2011 and I have new goals in mind! This year I AM running a half marathon in April, keeping track of everything I eat good or bad :p I'm so glad I've found this site. The motivation and inspiration I've gotten here has helped me stick with my goals. I joined in 2007 and have "met" so many wonderful people. It you're looking for a buddy spark mail me :)

Happiness is key to me :) As I exercise and eat healthier I feel a lot better about myself.

Zumba- 1-2 times a week (this is ME time where I meet up with friends for a great workout and some laughs) Running- 4 times a week either on our treadmill or at our local indoor track Strength& stretch training- 3 times a week dumbell work & pilates 5/8/10- 1st 5k- 31.48 (unofficial time, they "lost" my info and my watch didn't start and I'm guessing I noticed 5-10 minutes into the race so I'm giving myself the ten min) 6/3/10- 2nd 5K- 36.09 this was a trail course and it kicked my butt! 6/30- 3rd k5- 46.15 this was another hilly trail course and I didn't do well at all. (I need to work on training on hills) 7/1-11/1- no running at all. 11/20- started running again, decided to do a half marathon 1/6/11- I've been training consistently with great results- 5k- 30 min on 1/3/11 :)
