| Introduction | Years after the birth of my last child, I was still claiming "baby fat" as the reason for carrying extra weight! After losing my mother and sister to cancer, the light finally went on in my head. I had nobody else to blame for my poor health. The only one who could take the pounds off was the one who put them on. Me. Voila! I began my incredible journey to good health and a strong body. Nearly 40 pounds lighter, I discovered it's never too late to take control of your life. Since I started this blog, I've earned my MBA, changed careers, and started a new journey in life. And through it all, I've remained committed to pursuing good health. It's my lifelong commitment. Each moment you put off making a change, is a moment you can't retrieve and less moments to use in your future. |
