Hello Sparkfriends...

Whewwww....... sorry about being gone so long. I have been so busy lately. I have started a new business along with my already working full time and mommy duties and other womanly things. I truly have missed you guys.
While I was taking time off from Sparkpeople I was also taking time off of my diet and exercise :(. Sadly this is something I am not proud of. But I haven't gain enough weight back that I have went up an clothing sizes. I was so motivated with exercise until I had a REALLY BAD period one month and I just couldn't get back into it.
I have not been continuing my Zumba which I truly love during this time. But I have recently started and just completed Week 1 of Couch to 5 K. On September 11, 2010 I have promised to compete in a run in a local festival with a friend. This promise has been my motivation. I refuse to forget that promise even though I often wonder what business I have running, or even training to run. I have learned during this so called "break" that I can stay "smaller" and in my "smaller" clothes if I exercise. So I am hoping that the Couch to 5K program will help me get into shape and keep my body trim. I am not someone who can starve to lose weight or know that for the rest of my life I can no longer eat something. I have therefore learned that I must be active if I want that freedom.
Friends....its good to be back on this journey with you guys. I have truly missed you.

P. S. I would love to share my new business with you. Its so fun and exciting.
