Why I need a Transformation 

There are moments in life that change you, moments that require you to step out of your comfort zone and know that things can never be the same.  This challenge is that moment for me, my opportunity to change the way I am living and to become a healthier, happier, stronger and more confident ME.  A challenge is never easy.  However, the rewards and the benefits far out weight the fears and insecurities I hold on to.  I believe life is a growing process and what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger.  I look forward to accepting and WINNING this challenge. 

I need this transformation!   

I am a single working mom of a young daughter and I have every reason to accept and win this challenge and no reasons not to. Good nutrition and maintaining an active lifestyle are imperative to a long healthy life and this I must do for my loved ones and most importantly for myself.  My daughter deserves this, my family deserves this and I deserve to be the best I can be.  I need to gain control of my body and in turn gain control of my life.  My mother was recently diagnosed with Cancer, and is currently involved in a battle for her life.  I believe that unhealthy life choices may lead to disease, and we owe it to everyone around us to take care of ourselves.  For the first time in my life I have started reading labels and more aware of what I am putting in my body.  I need to educate myself on proper nutrition and by helping myself and can inspire and help all those close to me.  I too will be involved in a battle for a healthier lifestyle, and with your help I KNOW I CAN!
