And So The Adventure Begins!

      Welcome to my blog!

I am unbelievably excited to be here and to share this space with you!

I love adventure! In fact, I view my life as one big, incredible adventure and seek out opportunities whenever and wherever I can to live my life to the fullest!

This has not always been the case though. Nearly five years ago and 130 pounds heavier, I was no longer comfortable in my own skin and tired all the time. I let so much life pass me by without engaging, and I let myself miss out on really living.

It was here I began my journey to freedom. Talk about an adventure! I truly entered in thinking I was just going to lose some weight. In reality, there was not 1 aspect of my life that was not rocked by this journey. I fought silent and overt battles as the pounds came off. I learned more about myself, who I thought I was, and who I really am, than I ever thought possible. When I say battle… that’s no understatement, it was an all-out rumble. I walked through some of the most difficult experiences of my life, yet also experienced some of the most tremendous growth. I’ll share some of those stories as we get to know each other.

My journey is about so much more than just weight loss, and so is this blog. It’s been on my heart for years to invite you into my journey, as I have such passion to see other’s experience the same freedom (weight related and completely weight unrelated) I have found. For too long my own insecurity, fear, and disobedience has kept me from pressing into the adventure of starting this blog though – ironic isn’t it! Old habits die hard!

So here goes… Welcome to this adventure I call life! I invite you to journey with me and I can’t wait to hear from you!
