A True Christmas gift

It has been a year filled with firsts. Your first workout in years, your first 400 m run without stopping, your first pull up, or your first muscle up. Health is a gift that keeps on giving, day in and day out. It may not come wrapped in a lavish box with ribbons and bows or a stocking hung by your chimney, but this gift will bring you more happiness on more occasions than we will ever realize. This gift was earned.
I have seen so many people light up when they see before or after pictures of themselves. I have seen a few cry when they get on the scale. I have even seen a few people be given the gift of a new life. All of this has been my gift this year. I have been given an opportunity to see all of you and your successes no matter how large or small.
If I got no other gift than the gift of a long healthy life, I’d be one of the few who have enjoyed this luxury.
What gifts have you gotten this year by way of your hard work and commitment to your health?

Well… I got my first handstand pushup while 2 months pregnant - can’t really ask for more than that!
This last 2 months have been an awesome experience for me and to see everyone else that started with me grow at the same time has been wonderful. Thanks for all the help and encouragement along the way to help me and others with their short/long-term goals.
