Much thanks for stopping by! However you got to this page, something health or fitness related drove you here. What do those words truly mean? What is it to be healthy? To be fit? I thought I had an idea of what fitness was, same as I believed if I could simply lose weight it would automatically equate to being “healthy”.

Fortunately, I had a friend who understood my desire to lose weight and was willing to work with me and help motivate me to set goals that would not only help me reach my weight loss goals, but also learn about true health and real fitness. It was incredibly effective. I lost over 20 lbs., and even better dropped from a size 42 to a size 36.

Before that, I used fad diets to try to regulate my weight and played the yo-yo game we are all so familiar with until I had ballooned up to 276 lbs. I thought I was doing well when I decided to track calories. However, I rarely exercised and had no consistency in my eating habits. I experienced some weight loss, but was still eating garbage and had no real fitness to speak of.

At age 40, I finally committed to giving it my all and seeing if I could get results. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Having a comprehensive fitness plan enabled me to get the exercise my body needed as well as get the nutrition I was sorely lacking. As I improved my food choices, I saw my junk food cravings virtually disappear, and I was motivated to do more and more clean eating. Soon, I clocked in at 214 lbs, and was back to a size 36 pants (from 42) for the first time since college.  Best of all, I was feeling great, and knew I had found a sustainable and viable lifestyle that I was excited to maintain.

My journey has just begun, but I am so excited for what is yet to come. Where are you right now? How are you doing with your efforts in fitness? Need a second chance at this whole fitness thing? I would very much love to hear your story and pass along (pay forward, if you will) what was presented to me. Drop me a line and let me know what I can do for you!
