A Truly Inspirational Weight-Loss and Running Story

October 7, 2009

Good afternoon! :)

Looks like we got the kinks worked out this morning and orders are flying in! Thanks everyone for your support!

I think there are a few batches still left. I also just added 6 more variety packs as they sold out!

~~~~~

I received this email from Christine and I asked her permission to share her inspiring story!!!

“Angela,

I’ve lost 60 pounds! since March 1st and you are have been my secret power of information and inspiration. I have asthma and at 261 lbs I never even dreamt of running anywhere but I read about your running and it sounds so wonderful. So, I walk on Sundays for about 90 mins but this Sunday I looked around and no one was watching so you know what I did?

I RAN!

I ran for 1 minute like you said and walked a minute and alternated for just 10 minutes but I felt like I had wings. I was so excited and I thought “Angela would be so proud.”

I look forward to many more experiences in running. Boy! Did I get back to the car fast :D

Yup, brought a tear to my eye!!! ;) I must agree running totally gives me wings too. What a great analogy!

I could really relate to what she said about looking around and making sure no one was watching. When I first started running, I used to be really concerned about other people seeing me too. Now that I am comfortable running, I find that I rarely think about it anymore. It is a learning process like anything, right?

And then Christine shared with us her amazing Before and After pictures.

Christine, you are an inspiration to us all! Congrats on the wonderful changes you have made to your health. You certainly have a beautiful glow about you! :D

~~~~~

Have you transformed your health or someone you know? How did you/they do it?

Share the story below! I love reading about people totally changing their lives for the better. :) So inspiring.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. Running for me has been a work in progress for sure. I think we all need to remember when starting anything new to take it slow and with practice and repetition things will get easier!
