Shannon is a neighborhood friend who I met through Ryan & Emily Elliott. Shannon & I have probably known each other for 6 or 7 years. She is passionate, fun, and loving. Like me Shannon travels a lot for work so she has a lot of insight on how hard (and easy) it is to stay healthy on the road. She jumped right on board for this challenge. And a week when we were both in town Shannon volunteered to be my coach. Even better - Shannon is a runner and has signed up with me to run the A1A Half Marathon in February... anyone else want to join? Shannon also reminds me to treat myself when I reach goals but pushes me REALLY hard to meet those goals.
Every year I vacation to Canada with Shannon & the Elliott's and they have all come to feel like family. We have so much fun in the water, on the dock, cooking in the kitchen and reading on the porch. And when speaking of Shannon I cannot leave out her big lovable dog- yellow lab Bugsy. He is also family.
Last - as I go through this challenge I want to highlight a huge success of Shannon's. She was a smoker when I first met her and has now been many many years clean. Not sure how long it has been but it is something of her past. If she can battle through that then I can make these changes in my lifestyle to lose weight. Way to pave the road for me to success Shannon.
