About Me

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!

I think the gods even think I should not get up early!



Alright, so after telling myself that I need to get out of bed to do my workout, I finally stopped hitting the snooze button and decide to just go bring it!  That, it is good to have time in the evening, and its really not that bad to get up a little earlier then normal.

So, today I got up, logged into WOWY and pushed play with my favorite Debbie, the slim trainer with Slim in 6!  Thin thighs here I come.  I was moving, I was sweating, and I was not happy doing all the leg lifts in ramp it up, yet I kept going!

Then, my workout ended.  Thinking, I should feel great!  I should have more energy!  My day is started with a bang!  It all goes downhill quickly.

I go to walk my dog Romeo.  As we are approaching the house my husband drives by.  As I get to the steps of my house about 5 minutes later I go - NOOOOOO!  I have no keys!  Yup, I locked myself out.  And, with no keys or phone I was like now what!!!   I quickly reacted and knocked on my neighbors door.  They always leave at the same time I do, so knew they would be awake.  I borrowed a phone to call Michael.  I figured he just drove away, he can't be that far off!  Of course, I got his voice mail and left the plea for help call!  I know what he said, I could hear it in my head- "I don't know that number, it can't be that important!."

So, now not knowing if he will ever get my call, all I can do is sit and wait.  Me and Romeo sat and waited for a long time.  Then, I finally found another neighbor leaving for work.  May I borrow your phone!  So, I called again- this time, Michael answered.  He just got my message and had to turn around and come home.  Like 20 minutes later, we finally get into the house.

Now, I am really late for work!  I thought working out would make me late from whacking the snooze button, but boy was I mistaken!  As I am getting ready to leave, I called my office to let them know I was late.  Threw my phone in my pocket, grabbed my coffee and KEYS and left!  As I'm locking the door, holding my coffee, my phone rings.  I am balancing everything to reach in my pocket to grab the phone only to throw it halfway down the steps.  Saying hello, hello- realized there was no one there.  Ok, so I move on.  I get in my car, I sit and reorganize myself.  Coffee in the cup holder, phone in the purse.  What!  I forgot my purse!  So, back upstairs I go again to grab my purse.    Now I really annoy the dog who wants to run out the door and join me at the office I guess.  When I say no, he just starts barking LOUDLY as I am driving off.

I keep thinking to myself 3 things.  
1.  Can anything else go wrong this morning?
2.  Maybe I am not meant to get up early, none of this happened before when I had my daily routine?
3.  There must be a reason that I was supposed to be late.  I must have avoided an accident or something.  The Gods knew I needed to leave an hour later then normal and found every waypossible to keep me in the house.  Ok, I was desperate for a reason why everything would go wrong on a day I had a million things to do at the office.

But, as I drove to work, my same normal route.  I did pass a pretty bad crash!  2 cars totaled, facing the wrong way in traffic.  It was a fairly recent accident as no cops or tow trucks were there.  People all seemed ok and exchanging information.  But, as I drove by, I had this eery feeling, that the Gods were looking out for me this morning.

With all that said, that means excuse 2 has to be thrown in the trash!  And, tomorrow I will get up early again to do another round of Ramp it Up!  It does feel good going into the shower totally smelly and dripping wet!  It lets me know, my day can only get better!

So, see you tomorrow in WOWY at around 5:15 am!
