Hey guys! This week I’m going to start shaking it up a bit. Since I’ve started this blog I’ve wanted to make it a place where anyone can come and learn MY journey to a better me. ( Speaking of… I ran my personal longest run of 10 miles this weekend! WOOO!) It’s been great, but at times I feel a bit narcissistic, because I know there are lots of journeys out there that are just as derserving to be shared!
Every last Sunday of the month I want to give you the opportunity to meet other Mom’s out there trying to not only make it in the world of business and family… but also Mother’s dealing with the ups and downs of self image, weight and health. Since I myself am dealing with these issues I feel that it’s important to get as many perspectives on the topics at possible, because something that touches me, may not hit you the same way.
The first “Wonder Woman” I’d like to introduce is the amazing Ms. Sandra Kelley!
Kelley is a life coach and self esteem expert for the morbidly and super obese. She also has a blog and radio show to reach out to people struggling with obesity find peace that they are not alone. She found her calling after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 1997, thus losing an amazing 200 lbs. Her max weight, right before bypass surgery was 450 lbs. Sandra is a Life Coach, Self Esteem Expert, and loving Mother.
Hi Sandra! Thanks so much for doing this interview, I can’t wait to share your story with my readers, so let’s get started!
Sophia: First off, I was so excited to hear that you are a fellow runner! What made you want to run? What race did you do? How long did you train? What did you do to prepare?...
