#goals #gratitude

8 months before this photo was taken, I was injured, had gained 55 pounds and I could barely walk from my bed to the kitchen for food.

Bathing and dressing was a challenge and I was terrified I’d not be able to return to my job as a first responder, to take care of my mom (who I’m the primary caregiver for) and never again be able to run (one of my favorite zen activities), or be physically active.

BUT with some mindset shits, perseverance, new skills in corrective exercise and functional training, I was able to make the trek up a 1,300 foot elevation gain, over roughly six miles round trip of rocky terrain, to the beautiful location this photo was taken.

Behind my smile is so much gratitude for my journey and accomplishment.

Can’t wait for more!
