Welcome to episode 2 of UvU!  When people see me after the weight loss, they most typically say, "How'd you do it?" When I launch into my strategy and tell them that anyone can do it they almost always say something to the effect; they'd love to lose a certain amount of weight but they don't have enough time, or energy or "insert-valid-excuse-here". This episode explores the systemic issue that led up to me having that same mindset & how I broke out of it in order to run my hurdle of -100 pounds. Be sure to like, comment, follow, and share this with a friend!  I can only give you my keys to fitness success, you have to unlock that door and go through it yourself.
