Today I can run many miles and in 2 days I will run my very first half marathon in Hyannis! This time last year I could not even walk up the stairs without feeling winded.
Today I can lift weights and swing around a kettlebell. This time last year carrying in the groceries left me breathless. And I can carry my daughter and my neice when needed!
Today I take no medications!!!! This time last year I was on 7 different medications.
Today I run and chase my daughter this time last year I barely left the house.
I am a better mom because I make time for me. I go run, I workout, I am less stressed out. This makes our time together much better .
I am a better partner to my boyfriend because I feel better about myself. It is true what they say you cannot love someone else and appreciate them until you love yourself. Plus I cook almost everyday and he enjoys that! And I even inspired him to hit the gym and we go together sometimes.
I even perform better at work. I have more confidence in the things I do and I have a much more positive attitude about life in general. This reflects on my work in all aspects of my life.
I never ever imagined that joining weight watchers and losing weight would change my life. No I am not trying to be skinny. No I am not doing this for vanity. I have changed my life completely. I have become healthy and positive and this is worth more than any size skinny jeans.

Stopping by via Crissy Ketchum - she mentioned she designed your blog on her FB post (she designed both my personal and business site too!)
Congratulations!! What an accomplishment to be so proud of! I'm still working on getting back into shape after baby #5 - I have my first triathlon in a month! AAAAH!
What an amazing year you've had - and I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to see all of your transformations.
You continue to inspire me each and every day. :)
Will be thinking about you this weekend. :)
This is amazing. Congratulations! Good luck this weekend, can't wait to hear how it went. You have really come to learn some great lessons about being healthy as opposed to being skinny, that's the fantasy most people chase like hamsters on a hamster wheel. I loved reading this post. Right up my alley.
