Introduction Text This part of my journey of life started in Jan. 2012. Joined a class at the Y and have been inspired since. I have three beautiful children who enjoy it with me. I'm half way to my goal weight, but it's not just the numbers I'm improving. It's the whole package! Life is a journey of constant changes. I'm going to keep on smilin through this journey... This week marked a year since I started by healthy lifestyle change. I have been sparking for eight months. I have learned and gained so much from this part of my journey. I have lost 75 lbs and gained so much! I have gained confidence, strength physically and emotionally, energy, inspiration, friends, and the list goes on and on. It has been 2 and a half years since I started on this journey. Wow, that has gone quickly! I am proud of all that I have learned and accomplished! I do need to remind myself of that... I lost 85lbs, but have gained 5 to 10lbs. No big deal, but I know how quickly it could go backwards. I am aware and learning so I will keep fighting for this new lifestyle. I love all that I have acquired on this journey. The ups and the downs teach me all the time. I will keep living and pushing each moment with a smile! Thank You Lord! Wow! It has been about four years since have started this part of my journey. It is interesting looking back. I have regained around 25lbs but have gained and learned so much in so many ways. Yes, there may always be a struggle, but it is finding ways to adapt, learn, and move on. I have learned to love yourself no matter what and to keep reaching no matter what... I am now a personal trainer, a indoor cycle instructor, and water instructor. Somebody i never thought or dreamed I would be. Yes, I am still a mom, wife, teacher, and the list goes on... Just taking one moment and one breathe at a time... enjoying this life I have been blessed with! Wow! So wonderful to look back and remember what was yesterday but to keep moving forward one little step at a time. Sad to say the regain of almost all my weight, but the mind and spiritually changes are ever so much brighter! Knowing where I was and knowing every moment is a blessing. The continued lifestyle change and molding and shaping in my mind and spirit is being better and bolder one moment, one day, one smile at a time.
