Christine Jeffries is About to Lose It
It’s been too long since I’ve written for EmpowHer. Self-consciousness clouds my head and there is a lot going on. Excuses, excuses…so here’s a quick one to break the writer’s block. I found a website today, thanks to a good friend: www.sparkpeople.com
It is a healthy lifestyle website not unlike EmpowHer. It is designed to make you track your progress on eating right, working out, and connects you with like-minded individuals, suggested eating plans, etc. I can support all those things. I've heard that tracking helps weight loss plans be more successful. I’m excited about this site not only because it’s FREE, but because I’m hoping against hope that along with my good friend (using the buddy system also helps), we finally will lose the last of our baby weight and marriage weight. Can you still call it baby weight when it's been more than a year?
Weight loss is a struggle for me, as it is for many. I’m 5’1” on a good day, and 120 lb. That may not sound like much to a lot of people, but this is the most I’ve weighed not being pregnant. My taller friends laugh at me, saying I’m within healthy range, and should know their weight troubles.
