About ME

---

I can't remember a time that I was not involved in a sport or activity. My Dad taught me how to weight lift in the gym sometime in middle school, and I fell in love with being strong. I played AAU basketball,  I qualified for the Junior Olympics in middle school for track & field, I went on to be a part of an ECC champion track team in high school , and I earned All State in cheerleading. After high school, going to the gym and doing the same routine every week became boring. Like most people, becoming an "adult" also came with new responsibilities, and without a built in school sport, weight gain was  inevitable! I was lucky enough to find a personal training gym I loved a few years ago, which later led me to obtain my NASM personal training certificate.

 I was crushing personal goals at the gym and gaining strength, AND THEN I BECAME A MOM. Finding free time was difficult, and it became discouraging in terms of wanting to work on myself.  Becoming a Mom changed my body and mind, and certainly reinforced that I was no longer number 1. My saving grace became at home workouts. Slipping into my basement and working out, even when I didn't feel like it, gave me the ME time that I needed. It helped me clear my mind and gain some confidence back. My fitness goals have certainly changed since becoming a mother. I am no longer a super strong 20 yr old, but I aim to be fit and healthy... to gain mental clarity...to feel like my "old self" in some ways... and to be the best version of myself I can be (for me and my son!)
