South Valley Journal Article and I really should take my own advice.

Wow, I haven't posted here forever. A lot has happened over the last couple of years. I am still on my fitness journey. I have gained a lot of weight back this year due to illness, stress and not working as hard as I should.

Sometimes I have to read back at what I have accomplished over the years to motivate myself to keep going. I feel like the Fit to Fat to Fit guy except my Journey has been Fit to Fat to Fit to Fat and now working on the Fit again!

If you didn't get a chance to read this article last year, here it is. I hope it can help someone else keep going and not give up on this life long fitness journey.

Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy

On Saturday March 24th I had the opportunity to run in the first Annual Purple Day 5k for Epilepsy. This will go down as one of the most heart warming, memorable races I have ever done. This race was created by some of my most dearest friends, The Green Family: Greg, Angela, Gabe, Marisa, and the inspiration for it all, Natalie. Natalie is 11 years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy when she was 8 months old. I decided that I wanted to race and support this great cause and my friends to help find a cure for Epilepsy. Purple is the color to support Epilepsy so of course, if you know me, you go big or you go home and so I went big and bought me a purple morph suit that covered my entire body, head to toe in purple awesomeness! You should have seen Natalie's face when I showed up decked out in my purple-tastic outfit, priceless! There were 160 runners/walkers at this race and an amazing group called Push to the Finish that pus...

Biggest Loser Casting Call- Season 12

Hey everyone! So, last week my friend texted me and asked if I would try out for the Biggest Loser with her. We have been friends for 15 years and I just adore her. She is why I met the man of my dreams, she went to school with McKay and set us up and the rest is HISTORY! She asked, I said yes and now we are getting ready to go show the casting directors why we should be on the Biggest Loser! I honestly think if the casting directors see in us what all of our friends see in us that we would be awesome for the show! A lot of you already know my story and I continue to get messages on facebook, comments on my blog and emails from friends telling me how I have inspired them. We had a chance to win a VIP pass on KSL on facebook, so I called on my friends to help out and I am so overwhelmed by the love and support of you all! Thanks for all of your comments. My friend, Shannon was the lucky post winner. She won for me and I am so excited I get to go with my friend to this open casting ca...
