I Am

I get asked so often by others….”What motivated you or what was the one thing that made you decide you needed to do this for yourself?” I wish there was a clear and easy answer to that question and that I could say that I had some big revelation such as seeing myself in a picture. But the truth is, I just snapped. I had had enough and I just plain simply snapped. My entire life has been filled with so much turmoil and personal tragedies. Too numerous and too painful to mention most. My breaking point came when within a span of 15 months, I lost my mother to Lou Gehrig’s disease, a sister to cancer, my son was born three month’s premature, and my marriage fell apart. As if the wrenching heartache were not enough, I also began to gain weight. I had gone up and down in weight since high school but nothing that wasn’t manageable. This was different. With my self-worth at an all time low, I decided to take control of my life. In that single moment I started working on myself from the inside out. I treated myself differently by doing little inexpensive self-loving activities such as: bubble baths, manicures, and self-help books. The more I read the more empowered I became. Weighing close to 200lbs., one of the areas of life that I decided to improve was my health. This was when I first picked up the book Body For Life by the wonderful Bill. That book changed my life because I realized after reading it that it was truly the way I needed to be eating and that I must incorporate weights into my training. At this point all I was doing was cardio. Much more has happened which I can fill in the blanks perhpas elsewhere in this site because I am new but....I am now....Happy, Healthy, loving life, loving me, a competitor, a trainer, nutritional counselor, mentor, owner of my own fitness clothing store and a single mom. I love my life.

To me, Transformation Means

Tranformation for me is a big undertaking. I believe that a true transformation comes from the inside and then finally gets to the outside. I had to work on myself and feel better about who I was rather then dwell on what I looked like on the outside. Once I did that...Once I could look at the girl in the glass and love her...then I could tackle the outside. Transformation is of the mind, spirit and body complete package.

My Goals

I hope to continue to support others and help them believe in themselves that they can reach their goals. In doing this then I fuel myself to keep myself moving in the right direction.

My Intentions

To be a friend, a mentor, coach, supporter and always here if someone needs me. Likewise...everyone needs this in their life and I am no exception. I also intend to continue to make improvements in my life because I believe in my heart that there is always something you can do to improve upon your yourself and your life. It's about always growing (not necessarily shrinking) LOL

Who I'd Like to Inspire

Anyone and everyone that has the DESIRE for change. Children Children Children as they are the future. Teach them now to be strong, confident and healthy adults.
