Welcome!

I am a on-line Fitness Coach with Beachbody. January 2010 was the year I embarked on my fitness journey. My son and daughter-in-law talked me into doing a half-marathon. I was really out of shape, I weighed 185 lbs, a size 16 was getting too tight and I knew it was time for a change. So I signed up and got busy. Long story short, I finished the race in enough time to get a medal but I was not happy with my results. So I became DETERMINED to get in shape.This evolved into an ongoing lifestyle choice, mostly through self-study and first hand experiences. Beachbody was brought to my attention in late 2010 and I signed up for my first Beachbody Challenge and lost 15 lbs. In the process I got hooked on the energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie of being a part of the Beachbody community. I have since lost an additional 25 lbs totaling 40 lbs altogether, and I am currently training for my 5th Marathon. My personal transformation ushered in a completely new outlook on exercise and nutrition. This is why I became a Beachbody Coach, this is why my goal is to become a Certified Personal Trainer, this is why I started this website.I hope my energy and love for fitness and nutrition will help encourage others.I love to motivate people and drive them to challenge themselves.
