When I was 20 years old playing softball in college I hit my heaviest weight ever...180 lbs. I remember seeing that number on the scale and thinking 'OMG.' I lost 55 pounds my last 2 years of college. I have hovered around 135-145 for the past 8 years. I have had 2 children in the meantime, grad school, new profession, moved up to director. 5 months ago I met Deon, my trainer. He is the most inspirational and motivational person I have ever met. Before meeting him, I was a cardioholic. That's all I did. Now, I love cross training and weight lifting and I have seen amazing results, and I want to take it farther.

I love feeling strong and beautiful and teaching and showing my children health and determination. Exercise is my stress relief.
