I’m a 40+ year old working Mom who enjoys food, fitness, family…not necessarily in that order! I am blessed to have 3 beautiful, busy kids and am married to a wonderful husband, dad, and successful Star Diamond Beachbody Coach. My family is truly my inspiration.
My fitness journey started when I was young. I taught aerobics in college and worked part-time right after college as an aerobic instructor and personal trainer…which got me a free membership to the gym. I am your typical pear-shaped woman who carries her weight from her waist down. Needless to say, I have always had bit of a “backyard” or as I like to say, “junk in my trunk”! I always figured this was just the way my body was designed and no matter what I did I would always have hips!!!
The older I got the more difficult I found it was to keep the excess weight off, and like most people, life begins to take over and my workouts became less and less consistent. Then the babies started to arrive and my workout routine pretty much went out the window!!
In 2007 my husband purchased an In-Home Extreme Fitness Program called P90X off an infomercial (he has been known to do that, but that is a story for a future post!). I was, at the time, working out at a gym and did not want to ruin the limited results I was already experiencing. However, I told my husband that I would do the nutrition portion of the program with him…that lasted 30 days and then I decided to take the plunge!
When I started P90X I was wearing a size 10/12 in pants…after 90 days (ok, it was closer to 110 days because I repeated a few weeks) I was wearing a size 4!!! It was absolutely amazing…mind-boggling; I never thought it could have been possible. It was then that I learn that I needed something and/or someone to tell me exactly what I needed to do; otherwise, if left to my own thought process I would be doing the exact same thing every day and never see results. I got inspired. I saw how it changed my shape, changed my mind frame, and gave me energy…that 90 days changed my life, more than I could’ve ever imagine.
Today I have done P90X, TurboFire, ChaLEAN Extreme, Insanity, P90, Turbo Jam, Brazil Butt Lift, RevAbs, and Slim in 6. Shakeology is my nutritional staple…a day will not go by without one serving. I think the Beachbody Products and Programs are brilliant! I cannot help but tell everyone I meet about them and how the fitness programs impacted my life.
My mission is to help others find a better quality of life, whether it’s through our fitness program or our business model. I want to help create a healthier future and fight the rising trends of obesity, one person, one child, one friend, at a time.
Join me in my mission! If I can help YOU reach your fitness goals, or if you would like to learn more about what I do, please ask. I’m here to help encourage, motivate, and empower!
