2010 is MY year!!!
I know I can do this! I have lost weight before! After I had my son in 2003, I lost all my pregnancy weight (65 lbs.) plus an additional 20 lbs! I have been at that weight (plus/minus a few pounds since Dec. 2003). I worked very hard to get that weight off! I know what it takes to loss the weight . . . determination, motivation and the will to WANT to change! I feel I have all these qualities. I just need to believe in MYSELF!

I have always liked to exercise! I think it is in my blood! Both my parents are into exercise too, so I guess I learned it from them. Since 2003, I have really ramped up my exercise and made it part of my everyday life. I started running in Sept. 2003 and since then have completed over 30 races . . . 3 of them were half marathons! If someone would have told me that one day I would be a "runner" I would have thought they were crazy!!! I love that runners high!!!
My other cardio passion is cycling! I love indoor cycling & outdoors too. I got certified in Spinning in Dec. 2004 and have been teaching Spinning classes ever since.
I'm also into lifting weights. I used to be a personal trainer, but decided it really wasn't for me. I'm glad I tried it though, because I gained a lot of knowledge from getting that certification.
