I was a good 30 pounds overweight throughout high school, and it wasn't until I was going away to college that I really wanted to make sure I was doing everything possible to feel as confident as I could.

Ultimately, it's how you approach things in life that puts a smile on your face.

Keeping stationary drains your brain, but moving around shows you new things, new inspiration, and keeps the blood moving.

Food is medicine! We have forgotten that!

This moment is precious and full of great potential: all we have to do is figure out the little changes that will make a huge impact on how wonderful life can be in this moment.

I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!

I have been very, very lucky because I have my health, a wonderful husband, family, and friends, and I get to do what I love.
