Get to Know Me

My Story, Struggles, and Overcoming

Married later in life, and wanted children but hard to get pregnant near 40.  Got pregnant through natural fertility and have 2 healthy, crazy boys.

Got stuck at the same weight forever!  Changed up my training and nutrition, which changed my set point, forever, and lost the weight.

Got bloated, with pain.  Can you relate?!  Doctor told me that women over 40 have this with no real advice.  I took this into my hands and overcame with right nutrition, detoxing, cleansing and plenty of veggies!

Energy over 40 (near 50)  and Mom to crazy active boys, while also teaching 10 exercise classes a week… A  constant challenge but with the right nutrition, this has changed to greater energy and more restful sleep.  Always a work in process.

Athlete with increasing speed and intensity… Yes, I find it strange that as I got older, I got faster on my bike.  But I’d say… anything is possible.

Anything is Possible!!

How about who I really am?  What’s really important?

We are all meant to be happy.  Pursue your passion for greatest happiness.

Serving people is the greatest thing we can do. Sharing is caring.  Experience counts. Struggles count too.

Health is most important.  But we only realize this when we get older and have less of it!

Habits can be changed, once you know you are totally sick of where you are currently.

Smile.  Empathy.  Humor at the right times.  Sprinkle seriousness.

My retirement vision… health, travel, and good people to share it with.

OLD VERSION BELOW

Women, Veterans, Moms… we have 2 things in common stopping our happiness and health…

We all want to make people happy.  We give love and give of ourselves without expectations but we don’t take care of ourselves, gain weight, feel bad and then it’s a snowball effect from there.

The 2 things in common, no matter our life experiences..

We are stressed.  We have so many things to do.  Kids, spouse, older parents, tight schedules, fast food, comfort food and drinks that all zap our energy.  Which further stresses us out.

We don’t spend the time on us. We all have the same amount of time but don’t find the time for us.  Which really means, we haven’t found it valuable to spend time on our health, whether it’s mental health, emotional, or physical health.

Overcome..

Done by fitness, nutrition, and support by someone who’s been there, studied it.

About me…  How did I get healthier, lose weight with less time?  My story…

  With a passion for fitness and walking the walk… if you want to lose weight over 40, I’ve been there, lost all 40lbs of my baby weight (and more) and found that exercise at home can be both efficient and effective!  I used workouts for women to lose weight fast at home. Now, I use these techniques as Burn Fat Forever for women. I was stuck at a plateau and after only 6 weeks of doing Burn Fat Forever techniques, I started losing weight and gaining beautiful tone, more than I had before!  I was excited then and I’m still excited to share workouts for women to lose weight fast at home – that actually work – if you follow their recipe for success!!!  You can lose weight over 40!

I am an older mother, having a child in my 40’s.  If you are struggling with this, I’d like to give you hope.  A healthy and fit body will help your fertility.  Something that I assumed was so simple became so hard – that was getting pregnant at an older age.   This was my motivation to become the healthiest ever, so that I could use natural fertility treatment effectively.  Could natural fertility work?  I didn’t believe it until it happened, when I was 44!!  I had a baby after age 40 with fertility issues!!  I want you to have someone to talk to, whether or not you are a woman who wants to have a baby or just want to be much healthier, lose weight over 40 or at any age and enjoy life more with you family.  When you can move better and have better stamina, you can enjoy life more!!

About me – Deciding on Isagenix nutrition as a way of Helping Others..

The clincher was my added bloat, lack of energy which really affected my life.  Something had to change!  I decided on Isagenix!  Right away, the bloating problem was cleared up and the energy was so much higher.  I was a much happier person!  Now, I really know how nutrition is the most important thing you can do to change your life, before exercise.  I am so happy to share my nutrition journey and tips with you, so that you can also feel better, happier, and have more energy for what’s most important to you. Now, I’m helping others out of pure enthusiasm! I found myself telling someone what worked for me, what I’d tried, what I’d heard someone else say worked for them, and giving encouragement. Truly the best part of my days!
