My mom, plain and simple was always into working out and eating right. When I was younger she actually injured her foot by working out on a cement floor (this was back when they didn't know you DON'T do that!)She really never got over that injury, even now after 30 years and a couple surgeries, she still limps. But she kept on exercising and eating right which really motivated me. At 11 I started working out to Denise Austin recorded videos and I was very active outside. I never was over weight as a kid, but then I had kids. Since then it's been a struggle to get even close to my right weight. Plus I've always had a problem with binge eating, even as a kid. I've also since I was a kid wanted to be a personal trainer of some type.

It feels so great and so impowering!! I love the way it makes my body feels and the confidence I get from it. It's a rush like no other. Always has been and always will be one of my main loves!
