The New Me...


The Old Me:

New Beginnings...

Well, I did it!!! I completed the North Side Fitness Challenge and ended it by completing the 5k in a little over 90 minutes. I was so touched by all the love and support and by all the people who volunteered their time to try and help me and the other participants in the Challenge. I can't thank them enough for what they have done for me. I lost 40 pounds and a whole lot of inches and I am feeling so much stronger and healthier. I am also so much happier and my life seems to be finally getting on track.
The biggest change for me was mentally and emotionally. I was finally able to confront the demons in my head and serve them eviction notices. They are gone now. I am free. No more voices telling me I can't do things. My knee is doing so much better and I am enjoying walking again. It is wonderful!!!
I was even interviewed by the Times News and Ariel Hansen did a wonderful article about me. If you would like to read the article click on the title above.
At this moment I have lost 103 pounds and I am not going back!!!
