Hello September!

September is a special month for me. It marks the anniversary of when I made the decision to start taking care of myself - inside and out. I was 215 pounds, incredibly out of shape, unhappy and very insecure in myself. I had told myself a million times that I would start on Monday. Monday would come and go and I kept giving myself excuses of why I couldn't. But one day it hit me that whatever I wasn't changing - I was CHOOSING.

I didn't want to choose a life of being insecure, unhappy and frankly unhealthy. I was done putting it off, I was done accepting mediocrity and I was done treating my body like crap.

So, I started. And 8 years later, I haven't looked back.

Girl, if you know you can do better - DO BETTER. It is never too late to change and ditch the excuses. We only have ONE life and ONE body!
