This week marks my one year anniversary of my lifestyle change. One year ago I had the realization that I couldn't go on treating my body the way I was and still be around for my children. I said good bye to the old me and hello to a new healthier me. It has been a journey of faith, love and determination. I am a better woman. Not because I'm smaller but rather because of all the knowledge I have gained. I never dieted! Dieting only gets you back to where you started after time. I made permanent changes that affected those around me too. My family is healthier. My friends are inspired. I am proud.

If you click my picture you will see the old me and the new me. There is still room for improvement with toning but, I'm on this journey for a lifetime. And now because I'm healtheir, I have a lifetime to enjoy it .

I wish you all the best of luck on your journey's. Don't ever forget that you are worth so much more that you value yourself for. Cherish your health and make it last for ever!

God Bless you all!

    Happy Anni!!! I am also on a year long journey to the new healthier me. I'm only six months into it but so far I'm down 55 pounds, went from size 24 to 14. I feel very confident that I'll reach my goal too!

    Thanks for posting, what an inspiration you are!
