January 2010 I stepped on a scale after committing to a Biggest Looser weight loss challenge. Thank goodness it was just a family challenge is what I thought. But when I finally stepped on the scale and saw 171 lbs. at 5 ft. 4 inches tall, I just about fainted. How did I get so heavy, why, when and I'm going to be just like my mother, headed for medical disaster.
I only lost 8 lbs in 5 months. I was still unhappy with my body. I was such an active kid, played all kinds of sports in my teens and graduated with a Bachelor of Recreation Degree. Movement, sport, fun, active living - all the things I loved to do. Why did I stop?
I continued to slowly loose wt. up to about 15 lbs, but my body looked tired, old and week. By chance my daughter gave me the name of a pesonal trainer to email. Someone she hadn't met, but heard about. I went to Wendy's website and decided thats it- I'm emailing her for help- I knew this had to be the first step. I started just after Christmas of 2010- I wish I would have taken a biggest looser type of photo - just for me. Just as a reminder of my starting point.- 3 months into it and I am noticing changes to my weight, inches lost, clothes are so baggy- I feel I'm on a good journey for my new body---next my mind and soul.

Today was about opening up and deciding to let others listen as I gain acceptance, love, peace, courage, knowledge, happiness.......
