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
Today I climbed Oberg Mountain – my mountain. I set out early (before the tourists hit the trail) with the goal of experiencing fall peak in the Sawtooth Mountains for the very first time, and celebrating my 10-month FN anniversary and 150 lb weight loss. Read more
Wow, my heart is full. These past couple of weeks have been good ones for my program, and I am struck by how much day-to-day life has changed. In little ways and big ways. It’s difficult to describe really, but life is full and enjoyable in each and every moment. Even in the tough moments because I find myself with the tools and the courage to change course and direct myself back to the goal. And it feels so great! Read more
This is not the blog I expected to write. The events of this past week have shaped a new topic that I am only beginning to explore – recognizing and grabbing hold of opportunities when they present themselves. And, they do…every day! For regular readers of this blog, you know that my personal exploration often happens as I write…right here, on this blog, before your very eyes. So bare with me. Read more
I am discovering so many new things about myself as I get smaller and healthier, both inside and out. For example: I love the outdoors; I would go barefoot 24-7 if I could; Ms Dash rocks; yard work is not as bad as I once made it out to be; I can pull off a low neck tee; I love getting my hair cut; pedis rule; I always root for the underdog; I am a bit of a fashion/ clothes horse; and I LOVE hiking!

Today is our Last Chance workout before our final weigh in tomorrow, Saturday, and a fun day. We are hitting it hard with two circuits this a.m. and yes, indeed, Oberg Mountain in fresh snow, again. I am planning to kick that mountain’s _ _ _ this morning, likely with a Star Tribune reporter in tow. Read more
I just completed my third climb to the top of Oberg Mountain in a week, and that includes the full loop, only this time I did so in excruciating back pain and on a very cold and windy day. I even shaved 20 minutes off the original time! Oberg and I are now intimately acquainted and I think this has become my new quest. Read more

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.
