Lean, Tone, Clean Eating, Healthy Machine - Here I come!
I have learned so much from sparkpeople. The support and community is just amazing. I have been through a lot since joining; lost 11 lbs at one point, binge eating, controlling my sweet tooth, and yet the challenge never ends. I've proven to myself I can follow fitness schedules or 1/2 marathon training to a T so now I want to dedicate 12 weeks to eating clean. I think to achieve the body I want to I need to do this for myself. Reading Oxygen magazine definitely has made me want to achieve ...
I have learned so much from sparkpeople. The support and community is just amazing. I have been through a lot since joining; lost 11 lbs at one point, binge eating, controlling my sweet tooth, and yet the challenge never ends. I've proven to myself I can follow fitness schedules or 1/2 marathon training to a T so now I want to dedicate 12 weeks to eating clean. I think to achieve the body I want to I need to do this for myself. Reading Oxygen magazine definitely has made me want to achieve this. I want to be like the women in the magazine and they all eat clean! They have their small cheats but it's just that small cheats.
When first joining spark I had no desire to build muscle, I just wanted to be skinny. Sure I weighed 114lbs at one point but did I have the body I really wanted, well back then I might have but I still had a belly bloat from binging so bad on junk food once a week. I have never ever seen amazing abs or muscle definition on myself. That is a desire and goal I truly want to achieve. So I've decided to put myself to a 12 week challenge with the help of Jessica(FITGIRL15) to achieve the body I want for my trip to Punta Cana. Like she says you eat to fuel your body not for pleasure!!:) This challenge will definitely help me behave around the holidays and keep me on track. I'm so happy to have the support from my husband and my friend Katie(HOTPANTS3 who will be joining me on this trip to the beach and eating clean also) and of course all my sparkfriends. This will be tough I realize but in the end it will be well worth it.
My starting weight when I joined spark was 125 so I've reached 114 at one point but after going up and down and up and down lately my body really likes around 125 but I'm still wearing 2 sizes smaller than when I joined spark so you can't always measure progress by the scale so definitely take measurements. I'll be updating measurements and weight but as of last Wednesday here is where I stand:
Weight - 124.5 in
Chest - 33.5 in
Bicep - 10 in
High waist - 27 in
Hip - 35.125 in
Thigh - 22 in
I'm fine at these measurements and weight all though I know if I ate so much better I can definitely be happier and I never definitely want to go above these measurements because that usually means I let way too much junk back into my diet.

My Goals:
I want to eat healthier and get control of my sweet tooth and binge eating attacks! I want to lower my body fat.
Track days when I get a chance but not let it run my life. I'm sometimes too obscessed with those numbers. I need to really push the protein.
Limit junk food sweets to 10% of my calorie intake.
Allow myself 1 cheat day a week as long as I'm not binging on these days and get too carried away!
My Program:
12 week challenge - Starts Oct. 29th- eating clean, building muscle, and achieving the best bikini bod ever!
45 minutes Strength training 3-4 days a week
45 minutes or less of cardio 6 days a week.
1 rest day!:)
Extra activies playing with my kids to keep be busy!
Personal Information:
My name is Kelly and I'm from Iowa. I've never been over weight I just want to tone up and lower my body fat. I'm 5'5" and when I joined spark I was at 125 but lately 2009 this is where I've been flucuating but honestly if I'm eating healthy(not binging and controlling those sweets, it doesn't matter what the scale says because I feel better). I have been married for 6 years and have two beautiful children. A son who is 4 and a daugther who is 1. I work full-time 4 days a week.
Other Information:
I love to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy running road races. They are a great motivation to stay fit and healthy! I really like Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and Gary Allan and love to try and attend their concerts. I am a big country concert goer! My favorite shows are Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with them but I usually like to watch my shows while I'm running on the treadmill.
