A part of my life that I'm proud of is deciding that I will keep myself healthy and fit and enjoy my body through all life circumstances. There have been several turning points that challenged my dedication to this bigger committment: having knee surgery, and being pregnant. Against odds, I stayed active and continued to run after my knee surgery - though I did change the way I worked out, I was still more active than others who had gone through surgery, and the same goes for my pregnancy. These turning points were crucial becuase I knew that if I could stay true to my committment during those times, then I would really not have an excuse to not keep my committment during less stressful times.

As I coach others toward doing what they think impossible, it matters to me to know what others' turning points are.

What was your turning point in becoming and staying fit?
