Excerpt From A Lecture About Goal Setting in 2015

Below is the video of a presentation I made to the TriHealth Young Professionals group on January 15, 2015. Several of the members had heard about my journey and thought it would be an amazing motivation going into the first meeting of the year if I would speak about some of the goal setting I had done for my weight loss and how it could apply to everyday life. I hope this talk inspires you to go after your dreams now matter how crazy. Take a gamble on yourself in the hopes of big things in the coming year!
