Who’s that girl?


I found this picture on my hard drive the other day. It was taken April 2009 — about a year after starting my journey. The reason I am sharing it is to show you that nothing happens overnight and making incremental changes really can make all the difference.

For me, working regular fitness activities into my life was my first step, then the summer of 2009, I started to tweak my diet and nutrition – getting rid of diet soda, making healthier choices overall — but nothing super Drastic and then over time, being more conscience about how much and what I was eating — until I was ready to take a hard look at what the food I was still eating was made from and what effect it was having on my body.  You do not have to jump right in and change everything all at once — take one thing and work to make that part of your life, then when you are ready, choose something else and so on —

and here i am today:
