Hi everyone! My name is Alice, I’m recently 35 and live in Colorful Colorado. I work as a headhunter from home most days, and then as a wrangler on an active horse ranch on the weekends.
I used to be very fit and in shape. As the years have gone by, I’ve seemed to not only be quickly padding my waist, but padding my mind with problems. Anxiety, depression, unhealthy eating, alcoholism. I have a great life. A community I love, an amazing partner of seven years. I think the thing I’m missing is my general health and wellness.
So I’m throwing out the booze and picking up my running shoes. I’m sure it won’t be easy, but someone said once “a year from now, you will wish you had started today.” And to be honest, I’ve been thinking that for the past five years.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk and I’m always looking for friends! Let’s do this together! The picture is my daily view on the weekends on my horse, Copper.

Suerte, Alice! Swapping alcohol for booze sounds like the start of the great upward spiral. Best decision ever. Colorado is one of the healthiest states so opting for healthy lifestyle will fit right in. I hope your life partner will be supportive. Wishing only the best for you.0
