Biography
Biography | Been there – done that – now I’m back again! I was 206 lbs in 2010 and I had enough… I worked my butt off (literally) and lost 54 lbs in a year. 2011 I began focusing on weight lifting and even decided to work towards my personal trainers certification! By 2013 I was feeling better and more confident (cover photo shows the 3 stages). I achieved my goal and got my PT Certification in Nov 2013 and started my internship under my aunt who is a multi-certified trainer. I was working out 5 days a week and getting stronger everyday. I loved being in the gym and I loved how I felt. At my most “fit/strong” I weighed 152lbs and was wearing a size 6. I’m 5’6″ tall. I started training at a local gym in 2016 and it was a game changer. I love helping people feel the way I felt when I went through my transformation. It was everything… but I started loosing my time for me and my workouts as I became more invested in others.. I couldn’t find the balance, and the fact that I was doing all of this while working a full time government job… well needless to say.. something had to give. Little to no “real” activity for months is really not my friend and a jacked up knee didn’t help at all. I was already feeling “blah” because of the weight of I was gaining.. and the more my knee hurt the less I wanted to do (be in the gym). So…between recovery from the knee replacement and then COVID (Jan 2020) — my “physical activity” and “workouts” were pretty non existing — and low and behold right back up to the 205lbs. Now, here I am today – Oct 2021 and I’m a stuck at 195lbs. I drop a few pounds here and there but nothing substantial and nothing consistent. I haven’t been able to find my “drive” again.. that thing that just made me want to workout – regardless… and I want it back! I WANT IT BACK!! I did the MA60 and lost 10lbs… but I didn’t “stick with it” and got lazy and gained that right back so I decided to… GIVE IT MY ALL AND GO FOR IT. I know I can do it — I’ve BEEN THERE DONE THAT… I just need to do it. I will be back to my “healthy” weight/size again.. and this community is just what I need to help me get going! |
