I've been "hitting the gym" for about 8 years and finally realized it's what I'm truly passionate about. Duh. So, I got certified with NASM. I have a goal of gaining lean mass while maintaining a slender "normal" feminine look. In other words, strong and lean, no bulk or flab. I used to be so worried about my weight. Over time I've come to realize that weight loss just isn't what it's all about. Being strong is what suits my body and the weight just falls into place once you have your muscle (and diet) in check.

I run a new business offering in home personal training to mostly women. I'm excited about the client-response I've been getting and hope it continues. I am a mother of a two year old and an infant, both boys and I'm raising my kids with my middle school sweetheart! Funny how life works out :D

Working out for me is: Stress relief....inspiring....a mood booster....etc. It also makes me a better mom day to day.
