The answer: With a whole lot of help and support from an amazing team of people!
What a day and a week this has been! All good. In fact, amazing…and noteworthy.
Coming off my weekend celebratory mountain climb on Oberg Mountain, I had to get back to the reality of a crazy busy work life and another week of the extreme fat loss plan.
The weather today in the Twin Cities is supposed to hit 77 degrees – in mid March! The sun is shining literally and figuratively today in my world.
After toughing it out through some emotional drama this week (self-inflicted), I hit my goal of losing -200 lbs (-202 to be exact) and am one step closer to reaching my goal weight. Almost there! Read more
Just marking this spot in the journey and asking my “lions” to support me in getting through this phase of the work. NOTE: I will not be inspirational in this blog!
I am having to fight for it pretty hard right now and I am so tired. Soooooo tired. Read more
Today, we had a fun photo shoot with two members of my personal-transformation team: Julie Gronquist, owner of Balance for Life Fitness Center, and Sandra Swami, my amazing personal trainer.
This morning I woke up on day six of my new stricter plan feeling very “hormonal.” I stepped on the scale to find my weight stalled even though I am executing the plan 100% with absolutely no deviations, and I gave up chewing gum. Big sigh.
Then, I couldn’t find my iPad (still can’t) and was late to meet my trainer who rearranged her schedule to accommodate me by getting up at 5:30 a.m. And, it was one of those “off” training days where I struggled with some basic stuff in the gym. Read more
…to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” — Alan Cohen Read more
The answer – at least three if she has herself in the center of the equation!
Yes, three 60-min spa appointments at Waves of Superior Spa (heavenly), two workouts in the fitness center with a view, a walk in the freshly fallen snow along Lake Superior’s shoreline, a little hot tubbing and a jacuzzi bath — all in the same day. Ha! Not to mention a little writing on my book. Read more
Funny where life’s opportunities for growth pop up and when.
After 15 months of walking the path of putting myself at the center of the equation, I am now being tested beyond belief. Everything I have learned, worked for and journeyed toward is coming up for me today as an opportunity to once again – power through, work the program, and do what I need to do. Read more
AS SEEN ON/IN
My journey of personal transformation has been a quest to put myself back in the equation of my life. For me, there were mountains to climb, both literally and figuratively.
After battling a lifelong obesity problem, I learned to create time and space to nurture my health and my inner self. I pushed past fear and in the process lost 211 pounds, 47.5% body fat and 11 dress sizes in 18 months. More importantly, I gained a new perspective on life.
Today, my life is full and happy. I not only climb mountains but inspire others to do the same. Read more about my marketing agency, Marketing that Matters, or my In the Equation work here.
