I am starting this journey because I am a vital, slim and strong woman living in a body that doesn't reflect that. My life is about being real, authentic, full of gratitude and passion, focused on achieving whatever I desire, and I need a body that can keep up with that point of view.

I have been fat for many years. My family has a tradition of being fat. But, I have a personal goal to be a healthy 125 year old some day. I drew some lines in the sand and committing to exercise was one of them. With raised blood pressure and too high cholesterol, I had to do something. I knew beginning had to happen. So, I began.

In June 07 I did my first sprint Triathlon, the Danskin. It was amazing to come across that finish line! I've never thought of myself as an athlete, and in fact, as a kid I always felt clumsy and ackward, but I know better now and I want more now than I ever have before. They say that the woman who starts the race is not the same woman as the one who finishes the race. Where, before I started, I imagined myself breaking down in tears of joy, once I finally reached the finish line, I triumphantly received my medal. No tear only pride filled whoops and happy hollers and high fives, entertaining the crowd at the finish line with a little boogie down dance. I HAD become a different woman.

Too often I think women my age don't realize that it is what they don't do that makes them seem old as much as what they do wrong. It's not about being fashion skinny and trying to be a 20 year old. It's about grace and vibrancy and an energy level that lets you do the things you've always dreamed of. I know that can be achieved at any age. That is success and that is what I have found.

I started August 1st with P90X lean program and I am following the nutritional program fully. It feels so exciting to have the support and resources available to me that Million Dollar Body offers.

I have a long way to go but I am on my way. The first steps have been taken. Watch me melt away and get strong and awesome! You may have just spotted the overall winner---BRING IT! :-)
