Hello everyone!!  I decided that I wanted to create a blog and reach out to all of you amazing people! Each and every one of you has your own story and goals in life.  All of you are important, we all have a purpose!  One of my desires is to help end the trend of obesity that has swept our nation and help people to lead happier and healthier lifestyles.  This growing epidemic isn’t going anywhere unless we take a stand now and make a change!!  It kills me to know how many people are slowly dying due to all the processed foods they eat and with little to no exercise many people are going down hill very fast!  But we can change this and I am here to help.  Even if you don’t have weight to lose (who wouldn’t want to lose a few lbs!) you can still improve your fitness.I’m going to share my personal story with you so you will know that I know exactly how it feels, I used all the excuses, I went through a very difficult time. I was in an abusive relationship, I was in pretty good shape then but after I finally got myself and my children away from the domestic violence we ended up homeless and living in a shelter for awhile. I was finally able to get my own place but the pain and memories were still there. I was so depressed, I ate my feelings away, I didn’t even think about what I was putting in my mouth….before I knew it I had gained over 40lbs!! YIKES!! I got myself into gear though, I started eating healthier and exercising daily. I have lost 30lbs in two months and still going!! I have never felt better and I really would love to help all of you reach your goals, whatever they may be!!!
I am not a nutritional expert by any means but I am learning and studying to be a personal trainer. I am doing this because I truly care about this and love to help people. Nothing is greater than making someone else’s dreams come true! Feel free to reach out to me, would love to hear from you!!
