Because He Can Ride! The Amazing Journey!

Okay, I promised to write everyday, or as close to that as I can, and well...I blew it!  Nuf said on that little detail :)

We just had another amazing meeting with our fearless leader Mike McCormick!  What a night!!  Besides Mike, who is always fabulous, we were blessed to have Teresa Morros and her Son Josh.

Teresa M. Morros
Josh was the youngest professional off-road racer ever, and in August of 2008, he crashed going close to 90 mph in the Nevada desert.  The doctors didn't except him to live, and if he did, he would be paralyzed, and a complete vegetable.   Teresa describes the experience in a way only a mother could, and her story is painful, and amazingly inspirational.  Josh beat the odds, and is better than ever!  This Summer he rode his bike cross country to raise awareness about brain injuries.  Please check out his webpage at http://www.becauseicanride.org/ 


Josh proves that one young man can make a huge difference!  If you are going to be at the Legacy Event next weekend, you will be able to hear their story first hand.  I feel so Blessed to join forces with Teresa, John and Josh in building our MonaVie businesses, welcoming them to the "A" Team, and setting Northern Nevada on fire!  Anyone who can hear the Morros story, and not drink MonaVie, well...I just don't know what to say!

Since I haven't posted in a while, I want to update you on my RVL progress :)  I'm at 115 pounds down and counting, and feeling better than ever!  Just had an appointment with my doctor yesterday, who was again blown away at her formerly obese, hypertensive patient, who was a borderline diabetic.  Yesterday, my blood pressure was 116/68, and non-fasting blood sugar of 80.  If you don't know, that is awesome!  We are still arguing over my final weight goal, which she thinks is a bit ambitious, but I promised I would take a hard look at her recommendation.  She reminded me it wasn't about a number, but how I felt...now where have I heard that...Rick Zeller...LOL.  Great minds think alike!

Blessings to you all!
