    Reading about your decision to own your life and be your own savior makes me want to jump up and start cheering. You look fantastic sure, but being the heroine in your own story only amplifies beauty. Your kids are so lucky to be able to grow up learning about how they should approach life from you. Thank you for sharing this, made my morning!

    Longest story i've ever read on here... BUT..
    I read every word of it.
    GREAT going chica, you've done wonderful for yourself through all of your triumps. good luck in your future!

    Oh, i love cardio - regardless! Running IS MY friend but it is definitely not for everyone. However - as you said - lifting is also important to all of us. Building lean muscle mass was and is a huge role play in your success so giddy up - good for you!!! =)
    On that note - i'm glad you found what you love and what works for you. I hope others do as well!

    Thanks for sharing your story, we all have them but not of us can openly share like you have. Very inspirational and I'm so glad your in a better place, your body and your relationship and this will obviously help your older children. It's also great to read that your ex husband seeked help and is doing well.

    You look amazing and a year isn't that long to achieve what you have.

    Well done. x
