Happy New Year!

Well, it's going to be a wonderful start to the new year for us for obvious reasons. Addison will join us Tuesday at 10am. I am so excited to finally meet her and to start introducing her to our wonderful family!

It has really hit me that the last few years have been very busy, (very blessed, but very busy) and I have let my health slip through the cracks. So...I had an idea for a family project. I was thinking that anyone who would be willing to help support me--or join themselves--could get onto Spark People and start a healthy living team.

Spark People's website lets you choose whether you'd like to do a weight loss program or a healthy living program (no weight loss tracking). You get points for logging on, tracking the amount of water you drink, tracking your exercise minutes, etc. It's really a great way to encourage friends and family for making great life changes and to lift each other up when you make bad choices (like chocolate binges...hehe) or hit a plateau.

I have to wait for 6 weeks to be cleared by my OB after surgery to exercise, but I will be starting my healthy eating changes as soon as I come home from the hospital. I'd appreciate some company, since I do better when I'm accountable to other people :) If you're interested, let me know and I will set up a team.

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope 2010 is full of good health and happy memories.

  5. If you need any help figuring out how to start your sparkpage or making it private, let me know. There are privacy settings, like on facebook, that make it where only friends can see what you are up to and public searches will not reach you.
