So many numbers

Really.....you are going to talk about numbers?  Yeppers I am talking about numbers, but you will see the importance of these numbers as I count them down to you...Here goes nothing:

280 - That was me at my highest weight (not my favorite number, however it is a number I will never forget because it shows me where I will never be again and how far I have come)

189 - My current weight :):):):)

145 - 150 - THIS IS WHERE I WILL END UP - WEIGHT LOSS GOAL 2014!!!

91 - That is how much weight I have lost from my heaviest!  Holy buckets - in 9lbs I will be in the onederful land of 100lbs gone!

48 - That was my BMI when I started this journey towards health.

44 - How many pounds I am going to shed to get to my ultimate goal 145lbs!

32 - That is my BMI now - and this number will go down, just wait and see!

27.5 - How many inches I have lost since June 10, 2013

24 - That was the largest pants size I could barely squeeze into at my heaviest (not a number I ever want to see again when it comes to buying clothes)

12 - My current pants size but not for long

4 - How many months it took me to join a gym after being diagnosed with sleep apnea

3 - How many 5k races I did this year (Next year I will double this number and there will be a half marathon in there too!!)

2 - This accounts for the two precious children I have and the reason I will continue to live a healthy life and share it with others.  

Saving the best for last...............................

1 - It took one amazing friend, Heather Holcomb, to share her story, her passion, her love, her faith, and her heart with me.  She reached out to me, and has been walking along side of me and my journey ever since.

It only takes one person (THANK YOU TO MY HEALTH COACH - HEATHER) to come along side you and support you in a journey.  With my one, I have gained so many new friends and now have a whole team behind me, and I behind them as we all work together to create optimal health not only for ourselves but for others as well.

If you need just one person, then I want you to close your eyes, and picture me jumping up and down saying "pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me."  Because as you picture this, that is exactly what I am doing.  Let me be the one person who brings a whole community behind you, just like my one person did for me.
