WOW! Dreams do come true! What a Christmas Gift I got!!!!

Well.....I don't know to start.....I received a phone call last Tuesday night from Annie from The Dr. Oz show! they wanted to know if I was interested to come on their show and talk about my success story! I was stunned to say the least....they wanted to know my story! :)
Turns out that they had read a letter/review that I wrote on Dr. Oz's site, thanking him for writing a fabulous book...You on a Diet..which helped get the knowledge I needed to push myself into getting grip and saving myself from a certain early death. Knowledge is Power....hence...it empowered me to see what was happening with my body...what I was doing to my body....so many health issues are self inflicted....lifestyle....especially a sedentary lifestyle like mine was.

So after Annie, came Michele, then Nadine and then Stacy, the producer. What a bunch of young intelligent positive young ladies! I could of kissed them all...actually I think I did! LOL

So after sending as many "before" pictures of me...that was hard....going through all of them..looking at them.....not recognizing myself in them...I can honestly say I cried that night...for a good long time but it was a cleansing cry.....it was for me coming to terms with the past me and now being able to move forward!

So dreams do come true! I was flown in to NYC, picked up and brought to my hotel, The Hilton New York! My friend Christiane came along! We had a blast!!!!! It so helped that she used to be a Tour Guide and New York was one of the many cities she visited. So we visited and visited and walked and walked and walked and did I mention we walked? LOL!

Saturday and Sunday was our time off and then Monday I went to the studio at NBC to do a voice over to my montage and Stacy and Michele stayed with me and made me feel like a star! :)
Top notch professionals!!

So I got to tell my story....and hopefully pay it forward and save a life.....I am so honored to have been asked to share my story....

I have many photos to remind me of my special weekend as well as Dr. Oz signing my book :) life is good!!

So back to walking, stretching and yoga! life is good!!
