Today is my one year anniversary. On April 19th of 2009, I started this incredible journey. A journey to find myself. A journey to figure out what it was that I was doing wrong. The journey that literally changed my life. I was getting sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time. I was exhausted from not sleeping. I was beginning to look older, and my weight was creeping up.

A dear friend and colleague suggested I try ChaLEAN Extreme. She was doing the workout and seeing amazing results. I thought, if she could do this, for sure I could. Don't challenge me...I'm always up for a challenge, especially one that will change my life. (Thanks, Jan!)

After just one week, I saw changes. Sure, I was sore. Probably the most sore I have ever been after working out. But the workouts knocked me out at night. I was sleeping! I was feeling more energetic during the day. I was waking up ready to tackle everything handed to me. After one month, the weight was literally dropping off. My clothes were looser, my face looked less swollen. The bloat in my belly was dissipating. I took the next step and started a Shakeology regimen daily. Suddenly, I was regular and off of all of the medication I took for irregularity. The skies were clearing, and I was right out there with my chin up, and my expectations high.

Two months later, my stepdaughter was married and my goal of wearing a size 4 dress was a reality. I had reached my first milestone and there was no turning back. Determination had me seeing myself at 118 pounds, and I had no time frame to reach that number. I was just going to keep moving.

All this started a year ago today. If anyone had told me that I'd be here right now, at that 118 goal, boasting about these amazing Beachbody programs, I'd be hard pressed to believe it. I'd also be hard pressed to believe that just by getting up off your ass and eating the right foods at the right time, and adding a healthy, delicious, chocolate shake to my diet would have me now at a size 2, feeling great, turning heads, and finding out who I truly am, and what I am capable of accomplishing.

We are capable of amazing things. The thing is, we just have to start doing them. Because they won't start up themselves. And there is not one person on God's green earth that can convince us otherwise. YOU hold the key to your own success. Get out there and go for it!

Happy Anniversary to me!
