My Support

For what I am about to do, I can’t do it alone. Here are the people who are wonderful enough to help me and who I firmly believe that I can’t do this without them.

My Family

My Wife – The Partner

She doesn’t get a blog button or a blurb, but she’s the important component of a successful Reimagining. Plus, she’s going through her own challenges and, frankly, I know that together we can do anything.

She’s aslo my “greening myself” expert.

My Son – The Motivation

He is my main motivation for everything I am about to do. Yes, I want to look better and feel better about myself, but when I thought I had cancer, my only thought was that there was a chance my son might grow up without a Dad. While that’s always possible, it now won’t be because of my health.

My Awesome Support Network

Darya Pino – My Nutrionist

Darya is a scientist, foodie and advocate of local, seasonal foods. She shares her unique scientific perspective on health and nutrition, as well as enthusiasm for delicious food at her blog Summer Tomato. For more healthy eating tips follow her on Twitter @summertomato and Facebook.

That’s what Darya says about herself. What I say is that she’s an awesome person who offered her help for this project and has been great to work with already! I Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Kelly Olexa – My Accountability Executive and Fitness Guru

Experience the fabulosity at: http://www.kellyolexa.com/

Accountability executives have an important job: keeping me honest. Her job is to hold me accountable to my promises and smack me around when I don’t live up to them. She’s also a fitness guru and knows her fitness videos. I am really excited she’s there to kick my butt.

Blogomomma – My Accountability Executive

My other accountability executive. She quickly signed up to help and seems more than happy to be there for butt kicking purposes, too! Maybe a little too happy!

Charissa Cowart – My Fashion Diva

Anna Bassham – My Shoe Fashion Diva

Shoes News You Can Use: http://www.shoesmitten.com/

Anna is awesome and has opened me up to a world of shoes that I find both intriguing and frightening. Though she loves heels, all I need is a brown pair to go with my brown belt.

RecipeGirl and Crew
