Hi Everyone,
My name is Anne and I live in Rockville, Maryland with my 2 sons Kevin (17) and Steven (15) and husband, Tom. I recently turned 46 years old. It's hard to believe, but the truth is I have never felt younger and healthier in my life. To me, life is just beginning!! Three years ago, I started an amazing journey for myself. After a devasting loss of my best friend to cancer, fighting obesity all my life and living with major health problems, I decided it was time to get my life in order. I lost 130lbs and underwent surgery to remove the constant reminder of excess skin. Who would have ever guessed how different life could be? I now enjoy running (just did my first 10K in April), hiking, biking, weight training, etc.....things I have never done before in my life. It's been a year now and I can honestly say I look forward to my daily excercise, but more importantly to the benefits of healthier living.
I am so excited about this trip to the Grand Canyon!! Inspiring to always reach higher goals - this trip will top off my trekker 3 level hike of Angels Landing during Dr. Peeke's Retreat in Utah. I never thought I could do that hike, but being around such great people motivated me to climb that mountain in record time. Looking forward to yet another amazing journey in my life.....Grand Canyon here we come!! I recently turned 46 years old.
