My Journey

In 2006, I weighed about 475 pounds.  I got a new doctor and began my journey.

I've lost right at 200 pounds and am sill struggling to lose about 100 more but I'm taking it one step at a time.

I got licensed to be a Zumba instructor at 340 pounds.  I didn't want to wait for some magical number to take that leap.

Now I teach Zumba, Zumba Toning, and ZumbAtomic.

My life is about dance, about joy, about finding what works right for me and my various health issues.

I have PCOS, Hashimotos Hypothyroidism and have a long history of hilariously stupid injuries.

This blog is about my journey to get fit and healthy - physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.

On October 20, 2012 I will turn 30 and be under 300 pounds for the first time since high school.  I'm well on my way to my goals am an excited to share the ride with anyone who wants to come along.
