When we adopted Meili, I went from a go go go personal trainer and endurance athlete to a Special Needs Mama overnight. I wasn't sleeping, I was drinking every night, and I felt guilty going to the gym because it was time I could spend at home. I lost myself. In 6 short weeks, I gained 15lbs and began to accept that my Mom's "just wait until you're 35" was pre-ordained. But I decided to fight. I took control of my health, healed my body from years of Hashimoto's and chronic fatigue syndrome and now rock a body that I wished I had had in my 20s. Not because I just look good, but because I finally FEEL good.
