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!

My Story!


Me Before, summer of 2006!



Me After, summer of 2008!


I have not posted my story in a long time. So, really wanted to share! 

I started with P90 back in 2001! Me and my bf at the time were getting great results. It was my intro into "lifting" weights and not just doing cardio. We hit day 65 or so when 9/11 hit. Living around DC, it was a very emotional time. I think priorities had changed and I fell off the wagon. 

A few years later, I got slim in 6 and did that. I got to week 5 and quit! Just again, feel off the wagon because something came up and life interrupted. But, again, I was getting results- so why did I quit? 

In 2005 I met my soon to be hubby. He wanted me to play in a soccer league. I quickly realized I was sooo out of shape to run and play soccer. But, I was on the team, so had too! I again, got into Slim in 6, and that really improved my game, endurance,... But, soccer season ended, and I again went back to old habits! 

Then, in 2006, I was on my boat and was fat and unhappy! I really was miserable. My girlfriend just had a baby and wanted to lose the extra weight. She, started a girls night out where we would go run! We started at a mile and just built up! It sparked something. We talked about eating healthy, getting back in shape,... It was like a flash, I needed to do this. I AGAIN pulled out Slim in 6! This time I got on the message boards. I hooked up with a girl that was a coach. She was incredible. I learned so much from her and she has always motivated me to keep going! She made me go through all 6 weeks of Slim in 6! It actually was 7 weeks for me, because I kept one day of running in the week and added the "missed" days to the end of my program. By week 4, I literally laid in bed and thought I was melting away. It was so strange. But it was great. I ended up losing 8 pounds and 15 inches and at least 1 pants size. I probably lost more, but never did the day 1 photos/measurements ( a huge regret now). 

My coach talked me into trying the P90X. I was terrified! I was scared of the pull-ups, the "extreme",... but I did it!  I have done P90X and even some P90X plus! It totally changed me! Totally leaned me out, toned me up! My "scared' quickly vanished! I soon found my favorite workout to be chest and back with all the pull-ups that I so hated at the beginning! I mixed in some Turbo Jam, some Hip Hop Abs, some Slim in 6, slim series throughout the time. Why, because I like variety. It keeps it fun and keeps me going! 

So, I started in August 2006! I'm still going strong today! I workout 6 days a week. On my light weeks, its 4 times a week! I'm stronger now, I'm happy, I run up steps not die! I have gone down from a tight size 12 pants to a nice size 4! I have lost 30 lbs and over 30 inches. I still am leaning out and getting those abs I always wanted. Its been an amazing and an incredible journey! I became a coach to turn around and help others get the same incredible results! I find it amazing to help people! I find it even more amazing to see success story after success story! I absolutely love it and would never give it up and I am not going to quit helping people!
