Though I was a bit hesitant to declare a weight or a BMI goal, the shared vision in my training became creating a "long & lean" physique. Spinning 2-3 times each week at The Cycle Annex and working out with Brandon on the ass-kicking TRX system, my body started to transform. Clothes fit a little looser, and my body felt a little tighter. Johnny (my hubby) looks a little longer, and heads turned a bit more often. THREE WEEKS!!
Although the training at the Annex has been postponed since my month in Taiwan, the discipline and coaching continues. The challenge set forth of finding a gym was done with urgency and the commitment to doing at least an hour of cardio 5 times a week became my personal goal. A week into my trip in Taiwan, I felt so strong that I declared to run a half marathon in October. Running a full marathon has always been something in my bucket list which now I intend to cross off by mid-2013!

Today! |
Most of all I celebrate the possibility of being a stronger, sexier, and a more stellar woman. I beam at the knowledge that my sons see my hard work and share in seeing my hard work yield direct results.
I think about my beloved friend Paula Vento and how she transformed herself and even completed a mini-triathalon before she passed away. I hope to inspire people just as she did in her daily commitment to herself, and it's in her amazing spirit and name that I dedicate my training and run in October. I miss you my friend. Thank you for being my inspiration!
