I'm definitely not the best blogger out there but at least, I'm back to business. I have not fallen out of the weight loss wagon. Things have been going great. Losing the weight has not cured all my problems, at one point I thought it would, it has strengthen me.
It's crazy to think that a year and a half has gone by already. It's still unreal for me to realize that I was 80-something lbs heavier not too long ago. I was a mess, I was depressed.

Season 5 of the "Biggest Loser". I had enough of watching people change their lives for the better while I was getting bigger and more miserable by the minute.
May 18th, 2008 ... I got off the couch, went to my local gym and signed up for a year. I had gone there when I was younger so I knew one of the instructors. I'll never forget the look in her face when she saw me after a few years, disappointed. I had put on a good 30-40 lbs.
I still mustered up my courage and asked her to design me a program. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. What the heck was weight training? What the heck is a set? I was totally clueless.
The journey
She has been there every step of the way. She has seen me lose each and every pound I have lost so far. She keeps me going. I honestly don't think I'd be where I am today had it not been for her.
A year and a half later, I've dropped 82 lbs. I went from wearing snug 22s to comfy 8s ... and I'm not done yet. There are so many things my body can do. I'm inspiring many, reaching out to friends & strangers, working on getting certified. My life has completely changed.
