I was athletic my entire childhood and continued to be in tip top shape through my eatly 20's and into my 30's. Then something happened. My children began to get old enough to be involved in activities and sports. My life became only about my kids and that was my excuse to get lazy. The lazier I got, the more weight I put on..the more weight I put on, the lazier I got. It was a ruthless cycle
I was athletic my entire childhood and continued to be in tip top shape through my eatly 20's and into my 30's. Then something happened. My children began to get old enough to be involved in activities and sports. My life became only about my kids and that was my excuse to get lazy. The lazier I got, the more weight I put on..the more weight I put on, the lazier I got. It was a ruthless cycle of laziness and denial. I actually competed in a few bodybuilding contests in the early 90's and have done some guest judging for bodybuilding, fitness and figure. My military weight of 178 lbs had, over the course of 13 years, climbed to 262; the heaviest point in my life.
In 2003 I moved from California to the State of Oregon where I knew nobody. I continued to let my body go, promoted to a desk job at work and continued to fall deeper into the rut. I was now so heavy that I began to use humor about my weight as a new form of denial. I decided that it was now to the point of being beyond a weight problem and was now a health problem. I decided to get back into shape. However, at over 40 I soon learned it is not so easy to drop that weight anymore-all the more reason to make a change now!
I discovered Beachbody while surfing online for various ways to get back into shape. I have now made my business and social life around the positive influences of my Beachbody partners. My Coach, Nikki Crawford is not only a pillar of fitness and knowledge but is a model of integrity and selflessness. I am making a strong and fast come back. Lets accomplish this together!
I would like to make a come back and maybe even compete again-only this time in the trim and fit Masters Division.
