It's been exactly 1 year since I started on my adventure of getting healthy, and I've never felt better in my life. My blood work has come back, and I quote, "perfect," my blood pressure has dropped from 142/74 to 114/67, my body fat percentage went from 37% to 21% and I'm in the best athletic shape of my life. Why would I ever want to go back? I didn't even like the person I was a year ago, not on the inside or outside. Now I'm really starting to fall in love with me for the first time, the way I look, the person I am, and the way I think and feel. Choosing to get healthy is the best decision I ever made, and if I can do it anyone can do it!!!

Love to all!

I've posted this picture before, but I thought it was fitting to post again!
