Okay, so maybe I didn’t win the Fit for Life championship but I know that I am a winner anyway!! Today was the finale of the Fit for Life Challenge and I didn’t score really well. I didn’t win 1st,. 2nd, or 3rd place, but I learned so much and met so many wonderful people who I hope to be able to keep in touch with for many, many years! I will share with you my stats, even though I am very private about my weight. I am going out on a limb to share with you. Please don’t judge 🙂 By the way, congratulations to all the Fit For Life contestants! We all did a really great job!! And congratulations to the 3 winners- y’all are an inspiration! Check out their blogs to see how they did it! Amber Faw- 1st place, Kevin Mauricio- 2nd place, and Rita Hernandez- 3rd place! CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have a family, and I still manage to make it to the gym and work out. It is all in your priorities! If you want it bad enough you will make time. If you don’t want it bad enough, you’re not ready yet. You will get there, I did!
So, what’s next, you might ask??? I am teaming up with my husband, Mike, Mike Aldridge, one of the other Fit for Life contestants, and whomever else we can get on board to start an 18 week course on transformation.com. Look it up and let me know if you are interested! We want as many people as we can get to team up with us! We are stronger in numbers! We will provide accountability or a shoulder to cry on. Whatever you need! I know that it is not easy. I know that there are times when you are weak and that is what I am here to help you with. And you can help me! We will work together as a team toward a common goal- to be healthier people and to be good stewards of our bodies. We only get one you know. If we don’t take care of this one we don’t get to try again. It’s not a video game where you get multiple lives. This is it guys and I am dedicated to fixing the damage I’ve done so far and do right from now on. Are you with me??!!
I Commit To Get Fit! 
Congrats. LOL for “It’s not a video game where you get multiple lives.”
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You did awesome! It doesnt matter what place you ranked in, you lost 9 pounds and 12 inches!! That’s AWESOME!! You should be SO proud of yourself!

Love the motivation! Keep it up!
Hey Shannon, yes indeed you are a winner! That’s what I kept bragging to everyone about the whole Fit for Life Team! That we are ALL WINNERS! Just to do what we did, was courageous enough and even to talk about about our weight issues, boy even that can be challenging, but the end result is now we are no longer afraid and we can go out there and help save others lives through our experiences. That’s the best part to me. =) I think it is so cool that we all will continue to work together. I did get your message and yes, let’s aim to meet next week when you get back from your vacation. You have fun. Thank you for offering to do an interview for Inspiration 4 Life! There is so much we are going to do this year and would love for you to be part of it all. =) I will send you a message with my phone number to call me. TTYL and God Bless!
