NSV's

Sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been very busy with life drama (2 of my In-Laws are in hospital) and training for the AIDS/LifeCycle and Death Ride bicycle rides this summer. I added some pics unto my profile if you'd like to see how I'm maintaining almost 3yrs out.

The NSV, is that I am a certified Training Ride Leader and I've been helping other folks fall in love with cycling. I started riding my bike in October 2010 and I absolutely love it, and now love sharing my new-found love and knowledge with others. AAAAND I've ridden over 2 thousand miles since this January!!!!

This surgery has given me the chance, and opportunity to live my life in ways I never even imagined. I never thought that I would be an athlete or that people would look at me and never guess that I was Super Morbidly Obese!

Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground. Meaning, dream big- but track everything that goes in your mouth! LOL!

I love love love all of your pics!!! 

Sorry about the family stress - hope everything works out well.

Aww, thanks!

Yeah they are both getting better, so hopefully they'll be out of the hospital soon!

You rock!  Wow.  I haven't been on a bike in ages. 

Thank you! Yeah, I hadn't been on one since I was a kid, and was really surprised how quickly I picked it back up...it really is "just like riding a bike" !

You look amazing. I am wanting to begin riding a bike again too.  Congrats on your successes. You are very inspiring.  

You look amazing!

Congratulations on the miles, quite an accomplishment!

Thank you very much! Got another big weekend planned 175miles- yikes!~

 Congrats on getting your certification.

I checked out your pics, I agree with all the comments that you look amazing. But beyond that, what I noticed was how much you are smiling in every pic (except when you are stretching). It made me think to go to your before pics. I noticed a lot of smiling in those also, but the smiles seem bigger now. It might be because your face isn't as full as it used to be! LIL But really, more than the difference in your body, the real testament to how happy you are is in your smile.

Special Ed Teacher, ride leader, charity fund raiser, and someone who is always helping us on this board. You life seems to be about helping people, and having fun along the way. It is inspirational.

Keep inspiring.

Danni,

Your pictures are amazing! Happy to happier and loving life. It shows in your pictures. You have always been beautiful for sure! Definately see the joy that biking gives to you! You keep "riding with it" and keep on! This is terrific that you are now a trained trainer for biking. Passions of something that you love to do and you get to help others to! You have an amazing journey and you will be able to pass this along in your life to inspire so many!

I just have to say, you had the guts to bungie cord jump... Yikes....!!! The thought of that makes me want to pass out. Maybe after I indoor sky dive I will have a different view of bungie cord jumping?!!? LOL

I need to track what goes in my mouth because my head plays tricks on me if I do not! I am dreaming big, just have to!

Hugs!
