I started working out on and off after having my first child, which was 2003. I was around 35lbs more after having my first child and wanted to get back to normal. Of course, after I got close to getting there, I was about 145lbs, I had became pregnant with my second child in 2006. It wasn't until the end of 2010 that I got serious and went with a personal trainer. At first I was just doing it because I wanted to lose weight. However, my personal trainer turned my whole perspective on working out around. I lost 30lbs and was about 18% body fat. I was in the best shape of my life! Working out was no longer a chore or just a desire to be thin, it became a lifestyle change for me. I fell in love with fitness.

To stay healthy and strong. To show my kids that health and fitness is important to live a long healthy life. I didn't have that as a child.
