| Introduction | Divorced, overweight, financially burdened and out of shape. Life was out of control. I had been merely surviving when the Body for Life 12-week challenge came my way at an employee meeting. A chance to take control back of something! And I did. I dropped 23 pounds in 12 weeks. But I didn’t stop there. I set new goals and challenged myself to another 12 weeks. And then another. I was on a roll. By the time I finished my second corporate Body for Life challenge the following year I was down more than 80lbs and had lost almost 20% body fat. I’ve been maintaining my new healthy lifestyle for about a year and a half now. I’m a bonafide gym rat. I’m back into team sports, there’s really nothing I’m afraid to try. I even had the guts to fall in love all and try the marriage thing again! (A great guy makes things a lot less scary) The journey isn’t over. There are always new goals to set and achieve. You never know what this almost 30 something, girl from the Midwest might be able to share with you. So join me for the trip of my lifetime, share with me your incredible journey. Together anything is possible - you won’t be disappointed! |
| Interests | If you like to talk about food and fitness you'd agree that I'm an interesting gal! Beyond those two essentials I enjoy shopping - any type of shopping really. As my husband says, it's the gathering instinct in me passed down by my hairy ancestors. I get to put my shopping capabilities and my love for fitness together at Rob Cooper's Former Fat Guy Blog in my articles geared toward women about fitness fashion and gadgets! I'm also a bit of a nerd and enjoy reading... anything from cookbooks (see interest in food above), suspense novels, romance, the latest and greatest fitness books and just about anything I can get my hands on. I love to play sports and spend summers playing softball and volleyball. I also enjoy watching them as well. Traveling is on my list of interests and I've been able to do a limited amount and look forward to adding to my list of places visited! Stay tuned to my blog and check out my articles on Former Fat Guy Blog as I'm sure more varied interests will reveal themselves! |
