Welcome to GIRLS GONE HEALTHY! I'm just a mom who almost lost my life 11 years ago. I was afraid to live for fear of dying. Then one day I woke up! I decided to make the rest of my life the BEST of my life. I lost over 100 lbs in one year with clean eating and positivity. I started a page to pay it forward to ONE person and have been blessed by helping countless thousands. I love to live, learn and share it with all of you.

Lesson of the 2014
One of the biggest lessons for me of 2014 is detachment. It doesn't mean
I don't love you. It just means I have boundaries and choose not to
participate in your addiction, negativity or mood. I don't have to have a
bad day because someone I know is struggling with one of those. My
feelings are important too. Most the time they are happiness, love and
encouragement. I want to spread that around not take on the negative
traits of others. So, you may come knocking but I don't have to answer.
An "Aha" Moment
This morning I was running. Something I have been working hard at the past 2 weeks since over Summer I let this piece of me go. I was active and worked out but hadn't done this. Everyday I get stronger and I love that feeling and getting that piece of me back. As I was rounding a corner and literally wiping sweat from my face with the hand that has my wedding ring a car drove by. A lady yelled at her window "not fun to be the fu#$in Trophy Wife" and flicked her cigarette butt at me. For 1. I am no trophy wife. Never have been never will be. For goodness sake I rolled into workout clothes, no makeup, dropped my kid at school and ran. I am no prize. Hugely laughable. I am just a person doing my best to live a good life and be healthy. 2. I will not be mad at this woman or let her thoughts get in my head. As they say "I don't care what you think about me.. I don't think about you at all". After this post that is where this will lead. I don't know the story of her life. She could be going through something major. I'm actually sorry she has so much anger. I AM upset she flicked her cigarette at me. That was way uncalled for. 3. The AHA moment...So many of us are afraid or tentative to workout where people can see us when we are out of shape. I know in the beginning I was. I would run at night. I wish more would get over that. When I see a new runner or someone getting sweaty with a great walk it makes me so happy for them. I know they are changing their lives. Today was a wake up for me though on the opposite spectrum.... guess what? There will always be someone judging you. Your job? Brush it off. Focus on your health and happiness. That does not include the opinion of others. Only the support of people who truly care.
