Realizing My Potential.
"If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I warn you that you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your life" - maslow
I have successfully kept off 40+ pounds since my highest weight in college, through running, yoga, strength training and biking. This truly is a lifestyle. I desire to lose the last 20+ pounds, find muscles where I know they exist and run a half-marathon. My overall greatest health goal is to never hear a cancer diagnosis again!
