Is my motivation hiding under all these toys?

"Feeling healthy and feeling good about yourself is not a luxury - it's an absolute necessity." ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Motivational Mom: In April 2008, I was at a picnic with friends. It was a hot day and someone suggested a walk to see some farm animals. I made a few excuses for why I didn't want to go for a walk, but I did it anyway. Due to the heat and my unhealthy body, I ended up chafing between my thighs. After that happened, I said to myself "THAT IS IT!" I made the decision to get healthy. And I haven't looked back. When I see my before and after pictures, it is amazing to me that I did this but I know I did. I also know that my former self would not be accomplishing anything close to what I am now. I am now healthy, happy, and extremely fulfilled in life. I ran my second marathon this past May and am working on my Personal Trainer certification right now. Who would have thought, back in 2008, that I would be doing these things....? And, the cool thing is that you can do it too. I feel like I have figured out the secret to success and can't wait to share it with others.
