Hello, it's me. I'm the problem it's me. | Drive with me, April Lauren IN HAWAII!

For the last several months, longer even, I have been struggling. I really let fear rule me. Fear of the known, fear of harassment, fear for our safety, fear of failure, fear of going backwards and fear of moving forward... so many fears about moving into this new phase of our life. I let my fears overwhelm me me and choke me into silence. So, I pulled back and focused on enjoying the journey as best as I could. Imperfectly overcoming our many obstacles along our move has been an adventure. I could just leave it at, we moved. I could scrap all of my footage. That would be easier, and perhaps satisfying for some. While it's hard to face some of my feelings when I look back at what I recorded, I am doing just that. First, I wanted to say hello. And, it's important to and for me that I share; I am ready.

I have found a calm in my storm, and I am ready to face all of the ups and downs in my recent months, and begin to share the majestic beauty found in Hawaii.

My name is April Lauren, I share bits of my story here on YouTube, I'm a RYT 200 Yoga Instructor with a background in public relations and communications and my husband is in the Army. We recently pcsed (moved) to Hawaii, and are finding our footing. Summer of 2020 my weight reached 352.8, miserable and full of fear, I knew I had to change. I couldn't keep crash dieting and failing... cycling. I took a different approach. I decided to figure out what my body needed, what I needed and to take full responsibility for weight and my progress... And thus my weight loss journey began. With patience, kindness and determination, I began. I am halfway to my weight loss goal of losing 200 lbs and have found a passion for fitness and running. And, I'm training for my first half marathon. I look forward to sharing my progress, bits of my story and our adventures. Thank you for encouraging me.
