A NSV for sure, but I'm more proud of this than any pounds I may have lost! I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 37 and went through surgeries, chemo and radiation, and 5 years ago today I finished treatment and moved into the monitoring phase. Today is a big milestone, and I DID IT! I'm so happy that the biggest thing I have to worry about now is whether or not I ate too much pasta last night (which I probably did).

Get out and live your life - and make it GREAT!
