 I posted this picture over two years ago, and I'm so happy it resurrected itself. It's a picture that shows me that I am strong and that I can do anything. I wanted to do something for myself, and really take care of my body.
The text read: "Morning doesn't exist until the sun wakes up.. But here I am awake. So grateful I get to watch it rise above the mountains, in all its beauty. Today I may have trials, today may not be a "perfect" day, but there are always blessings surrounding us, and we must choose to notice those instead 🙂 God is wonderful, my friends. Let him in."
This was a turning point for me. Something clicked and I knew I wanted to be healthy. I started eating better, I did my research and I started working out. I started my days off with meditation and yoga in the morning and a clean diet mixed with exercise during the day. A lot has happened since then, life has a way of changing on you. But here I am, feeling blessed and happy with this journey I am on. 

I am so happy I mad the decision then, to change in to someone better. About half way through my pregnancy, I stopped being as proactive as I was before. I was thrown a few curve balls during my pregnancy and the delivery was pretty rough. It didn't go as I had planned, and it upset me. I had complications leading to a terrible recovery that took a toll on my body and landed me in PT for a few months. It was hard but because of this, I did research and found a few different exercise programs to tone my muscles and get my body back to it's healthy self. Because of this experience, I am where I am today, and I am so grateful.
