I was always an avid weight lifter until a car accident in 2003 left me unable to stay upright for more than 15 minutes at a time. Recovery has been long and there have been many setbacks along the way. Today, I am stronger than I ever was before. I have also been blessed with the support of my awesome husband and now the unconditional love of my three children. After the birth of my son in September of 2013, I was determined to get back to where I was when I was a trainer. I am down 40 lbs from the day I delivered and I'm still dropping. My goal is to drop another 40 lbs to settle at a nice 135. I still have a long way to go, but I'm encouraged by the fact that my old clothes are fitting so nicely. I want to be the kind of mom that plays with her kids at the park, not the one who watches them as they play.
