It took me a moment to get this question. Though it seems like a simple question. A lot of us have what I call surface WHYs. But what is your Deep WHY? What motivates you to keep pushing? What pushes you to changes your life? You can have multiple reasons why you push. But remember them, write them down, put it where you can see it so on those days you feel like giving up, giving in, down and depressed. You'll see your WHY and say to yourself LET'S GO!!!!

In honor of Transformation Tuesday I want to share Katie's story and transformation..... **Long Post Alert** Wish I had a quick and easy transformation for you but my journey hasn't been that easy. At 16 I was told I had PCOS, having a long family history of disease and early death along with obesity. This was a tough pill to swallow, knowing I'd be on medicine for life. Well after a few months of dieting, there were no changes. Blood work came back and by 17 I was being treated for PCOS, pre-diabetes and hypothyroidism. At 18 I was on METFORMIN for pre-diabetes and was on a restricted diet.. That would've been easy but I ate off a meal plan at college... It was HELL. By age 28... I was treated for: •PCOS •Hypothyroidism •Pre-Diabetes •Back Pain •Neck Pain •Allergies (daily & seasonal) •Water Retention •Obesity (Rx weight loss meds) •Insomnia By Sept 2012 hospitalized and developed Asthma, in 4 months I gained 40+ lbs. It was depressing, I wasn't the happy, energetic teacher I once was. One student even told me, when you weren't fat you were fun. Well every chance we got to go out for recess we would race.. I'd make it 4 steps and need my inhaler. A colleague in the school invited me several times to challenge groups, finally she became my Coach. Let me be honest, I heard the price and thought there is NO way I can add this expense. Already paying •Co-Pays •Insurance Fees •Prescriptions •Travel Expenses (Gas, Parking, MTA) and other bills. Well I started hip-hop abs and drinking Shakeology, Nov.1, 2013. Day by day, meal by meal, sweat for sweat, I took off almost 25+ lbs. Excited and ready to push further. I signed up for a Focus T25 test group, losing 31lbs. The weight loss was great but my overall health improved dramatically. Eliminating my medications from 11 to 1 inhaler, as needed. April 2015 I completed my 1st Half Marathon! It wasn't a quick fix. It is a lifestyle change!! Remember, never give up!!! Thank you all for being an amazing and inspiring part of my life!!

Who said I like working out? I really don't. 😫 I like how I feel after I work out. I love the results I get because I work out but I don't like to workout. Actually pressing play and getting started is the hardest part for me. I do it for the victory of getting colder to my goals.

Muffin top can really drive you nuts. We buy waist trainers, girdles, corsets, sweat bands, wrap it, squeeze it, even go to extreme to nip and tuck it. With all the dough we spend on hiding why don't we just workout and put something good into our bodies to get rid of it?

Shine Bright Sunday starts with Yoga. I lost my love for yoga when I was 235. I couldn't do the poses I used to be able to do. Now I look forward to Sunday's Yoga X. I feel more centered, more at peace, I think clearly, and I feel stronger from the inside out.

Had to pull myself together and get it done on a Saturday after pulling myself together from a slight hangover. I got goals I want to reach.
