Hot momma in the making

Hello,
My name is Jessica. I live in Rhode Island. I am a 24 year old mother of two! I am trying to get back to a body that I am comfortable with. I have 10 pounds until all my "baby" weight is gone but my ultimate goal is 20 lbs. (give or take -depending on how I look and feel).

My main form of exercise is running. I started with *couch to 5k* in January 2012 and continued on to run a Half Marathon in August! I am currently training for my second half (in May). Also, I am trying to incorperate more cross-training. Yoga is the only other exercise attempted so far.

This is my FIRST time really focusing on counting my calories and BOY is it a slap in the face! I am addicted to my app. I track everything almost immediatly. I love/hate it! Its really a shocker to see how many calories are in certain things I wouldn't have thought twice about eating! (like the donut hole I popped yesterday - 70 calories!!!!!) ugh- off the to treadmill I go! :-0

    Welcome from a fellow RI member.

    Newport has a great half marathon. It is all along the water. I have now run this once as a half and once as a full.

    Feel free to add me if you want.
