Putting Yourself in the Equation

Highlights from my speech at Balance for Life

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share my story at Balance for Life Fitness Center in Shoreview, MN, where I trained during my transformation journey and continue to work out and take classes. I had a blast and want to thank Julie Gronquist, owner of Balance for Life, for inviting me and all who attended.

It was an emotional day for me and I am still in the process of fully sorting out why. I think in part because of the audience. It was my  first speech where the audience was filled with people who were right where I was two years ago. Some have taken their first steps along the transformation journey and others were looking for hope and inspiration to begin.

There is a part of me that wants to help/save each and every one of them and I am personally working through that. It is amazing how much it helps me to share my story and connect with others along the journey. For that, I am forever grateful.

Here are some photos from the speech. Also, you can click here to watch the new before and after (short) video that we debuted. Enjoy. I hope you are in the center of your equation this week. 🙂

Hugs!
