I started my lifestyle change in January 2010.  I had three small children ages 3, 2, and 1.  From the time my children were born I had taken no time for myself. Summer was coming and all I could think about was that my children were going to love the beach this year.  I however was uncomfortable with just the thought of sitting on the beach.  I knew it was time to make a change.  

I was 180 lbs. and had not exercised in years. I set up shop in my kid’s toy room and took one hour a day just for me.  I exercised when it worked for me and my family.  Either during nap time, in the evening when my kids were sleeping or while my kids were playing.  It was difficult at first but it soon became part of the daily routine for me and my kids.  I started by cleaning up my eating habits and walking on the treadmill.  In no time my walk turned into a run, I purchased a kickboxing bag and was lifting some weights.  That fall I had even signed up for a 5km race.

I was 150 lbs. and feeling great, but knew I wanted more and didn’t know how to get there.  I knew I needed to be better educated in living a healthy lifestyle. That is when I hooked up with Stephanie. Stephanie gave me the education I needed to help me reach my goals and maintain them. With Stephanie’s knowledge and my determination we were unstoppable. With her constant support and knowledge the goals we had determined together were becoming a reality. 

I currently am lifting weights, running and am eating a clean healthy diet. I have reached my goal of maintaining a healthy weight between 130 – 135 lbs.  I have muscles and love the way I look and feel. With Stephanie’s help I have gotten more than just my life back.  I am happier, healthier, more determined and can enjoy all activities with my family.

I have one more goal.  A six-pack.  Unreachable?  Never.
