MY NEW LIFE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING...

As I've worked harder than ever before to shed my excess weight I am uncovering new layers that I never thought I'd see again. I am seeing my true self again for the first time in almost 7 years. I am realizing that I don't have to hid behind the image of the "loud funny girl" anymore. I can be Sday without worrying that I have to make the first "fat comment" about myself before anyone else has the chance. I am not letting people walk all over me and I am learning to have a tiny amount of confidence in my back pocket.... only to be used occasionally:) Here are a few other layers to my soul that I have discovered on my journey of Sday Running:
I forgot about the pure oxygen in my life that tennis equates to. My PURE joy of just being on a tennis court and the sense of identity it gives me. Tennis is my HOME.
My new Tennis Racket: Wilson K Blade Tour





I have found nature and something I have never experienced before.... the intense love for a dog. Kash is my constant companion and where I go, he goes. He has helped through an amazingly difficult 1.5 years and I love sharing nature with him. We love snow.


I love to run. I love to run with Kashi.
