They set up running clubs for their friends, and organize gym dates early in the morning or after work. They get their co-workers to try yoga, and to order fruit instead of donuts for meetings.
Passionate. Whether they go gaga for green smoothies or tear up the floor every day at Zumba, there’s something about living well that really gets them going, and their enthusiasm is infectious.
Curious. Always looking out for the latest fitness or foodie craze, eager to learn, connect, share, and discover.

My Journey Back to ME



Before

   After

As a mother of 2 children one of which has autism, I never focused on myself. I mean never. Until this past Febuary I had not been to a doctor in nearly 10 years. I avoided doctors like the plague. Reason being I knew I was obease and so far from healthy it wasn't funny. In January and Febuary my health started to take a nose dive. I started having issues with my blood pressure. I started having dizzy spells, to the point I nearly fainted in Target with my children in tow. I realized I need to get my butt into the doctor. I needed to have tests run so I could see how bad things were. I needed to start putting some of my needs first so I could be around to take care of my children.
In late Febuary 2012, I finally went to the doctor. Reality hit me in the face when I got on the scale. I weighed a little over 260 lbs. The doctor ran a bunch of tests that concluded I was borderline diabetic and very close to being put on blood pressure medication. Right then and there I decided this is ENOUGH. I am taking my life back and I am getting healthy. I joined the Y and adopted a heathy diet. I started to workout 5 to 6 days a week.

Fast forward a bit to April 2012. In April I fell in love with running. I started to do 5k's like crazy. My total is 10 at this point. Through my races I met some people and joined a running club. This September I ran and completed my first half-marathon that is 13.1 miles.
I went from 260+ lbs and because of my new healthy lifestyle I have lost a little over 50 lbs. I am close to breaking my under 200 lbs milestone. I love the way I feel. The thing I enjoy the most about my new life is that I get to share it. I love speaking to people about how I got to where I am now. I have started a blog about my journey @http://fitmomma78.blogspot.com/. My baby though is my facebook page @http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/fitmomma2.
