About Me

My photo
A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

Fight off a cold!


The Biggest Loser is returning for another season.   Because the show is returning, I want to Jullian's Tip of the Day.


Fight Off Colds With Exercise

Do you want to take some preventive measures against colds this fall? Just get off your butt! Studies show that the more active your lifestyle is, the less likely you are to contract the common cold. Moderate to vigorous activity — and this includes your cardio and circuit workouts on my program — will help you build not only a better body but a tougher immune system to boot!


 When You're Under the Weather

Working out when you're feeling sick can be a drag, but illness doesn't have to derail your routine. The key is to keep some momentum going without overdoing it. Here's what one member recently posted about getting well and staying on track:


"...6 months ago, I would have used being sick as an excuse to pig out and sit on my butt. Now I think, well, if I keep the intensity low, I can do this. I actually got up at my usual 5am to do my workout and my husband made me go back to bed because I was coughing and feverish. So I slept some more and then did my workout at noon when I felt better. I actually feel better for having exercised, like my blood is moving and I'm sweating out all the bad stuff." – Plan39
