The two pictures above represent my initial transition from declining health and attitude to a healthy
body and positive attitude. I looked in the mirror one day and saw that the person that I thought I
was, was no longer reflected. My waistline had increased to the mid 40's, my cholesterol and
triglycerides were very high, my energy was low and my self esteem was declining. I made a choice
to get educated on proper nutrition, exercise and positive visualization. I created a plan to improve.
Then, I put that plan into action. To keep myself on track for the long term, I continue to check in on
my commitment with regular check-ups and progress pictures.
