On December 10, 2008, I set out on a Weight Loss Journey to lose 101 pounds in one year with the assistance of my trainer, Robert Lagana. I celebrated my one year anniversary with an 87 POUND LOSS! I feel amazing! 2009 was definitely "Two-thousand-MINE (2KMINE)"!! The New Year has arrived and it's now time for me to execute the plans laid out in my BLUEPRINT 2010 as I continue on this wonderful journey towards a LIFETIME of HEALTH & FITNESS! THIS YEAR WILL BE GREAT!

My Daily Inspiration...(thanks Rob!)
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
