Victory Lane by Carri Lyons.
My belief is that each and everyone of us has a SPARK inside us. My spark IGNITES when I know I am HAPPY & HEALTHY! I LOVE feeling my legs move quickly and my arms pumping when I am out running with the dog or running up the stairs. My SPARK comes alive when I am on my mountain bike or on the back-country roads on my road bike or when I am churning up a mountain pass. This is my joy!
But, I know that when we don't feel good inside our bodies, we won't do what we love to do. We lose that "zest" for joy and excitement.
In my life, I have been on this roller coaster of losing weight and gaining weight. The most successful time I was losing the excess pounds is when I went from 135 to 113 lbs. Do you know why? I had cancer surgery. Yes, it took me having cancer and a full hysterectomy to lose that weight. And, I thought, "If this is what it takes to lose so much weight, I'm never gaining this weight back again!"....till 10 years later and I went from 113 to 181 lbs. Now, I am back down to hovering in the 135lb range.
But this time, I decided to study how and why we get to that tipping point and what it REALLY TAKES to get back down to a wonderful weight and MAINTAINING IT!
This led to me sharing what I have learned and helping other women who want to lose weight and find their confidence again. I want them to smile and laugh more than they ever have because they feel so incredibly happy and confident in their body.
I know more than anyone that losing weight doesn't have to be just a diet but learning to BE healthy, learning how to shop at your favorite grocery store, learning how different calories affect our bodies. I teach this skill with a bit of science and a TON of vision!
I believe we have the power to change into who we desire to be, habit by habit, and ultimately being in that VICTORY LANE!
