Some day this will be me.
I went to Red Rock, and decided that I wanted to be a part of it.

Invincible Summer
2012 was spent wrestling myself back from a pretty intense depression. I'm at the heaviest I have ever been now, more so than even my previous point. And I hurt pretty badly pretty much every day.

Mid thirties, looking to be healthier. I have long term back problems (including two surgeries) which sometimes make it difficult to stay on track.
But I'm an athlete in my head, and I want to make that happen in reality. I love biking and hiking, and I'm hoping to get into rock climbing once I am strong enough for it.
With falling down, I can feel all the pain in my body again. So we start with exercise and moderation of eating. But I am focusing on what my body can do. Not on a weight goal. Because it bugs me now that I am less mobile than I was and I want to be out and about come spring again.
