Introduction Text Today all things are new! My healthy fit life is ahead of me and I excited about it every day! The weight loss portion is behind me, as I have reached my 'goal weight' and a healthy body fat percent at this time. I continue to set new goals and look forward to new challenges. If I could bottle up how good it feels to be healthy and strong and give you just a little sip, you would be so hooked and want it for yourself soooooo bad that you would be willing to fight for your right to have it!!! Want it!!! And GO get it!!! Do not take no for an answer!!! Quitting is not an option! It's up to you and it's now! The girl of yesterday was afraid to try new things, the woman I am today looks for opportunities. The motto: Be Brave, Be Bold, Be Fierce and Be Fabulous was my daily mantra to remind myself that new results required a new attitude.
