I have always considered myself to be an active person. I swam at a young age until junior high and before having kids, I would get up three times a week and exercise to some exercise video I had. I forced myself to get up and exercise while each minute seemed to drag on forever.

Then with each child I gained the extra baby fat, and I developed bad eating habits. I tried to exercise, but I didn't care really either way. Each day I promised myself I would "change" tomorrow, but unfortunately I didn't. I lost a little extra weight, but didn't like how I looked.

I joined a weight loss community event in our home town in 2008 and I lost a few more pounds, but still wasn't where I wanted to be. I also purchased a few new DVD exercise videos for more variety, but it really wasn't what I was looking for.

I have to give credit to a great friend, Jaime, for mentioning the P90X workouts to me. She said as she watched the infomercial that it reminded her of me and that I should try it. I listened half heartedly at first, but entertained the idea for awhile. I finally decided to give P90X a try, so I purchased it around Sept. 2008. I was worried about my ability to get through each DVD, so I watched them all first. It looked simple enough to me. After my first P90X workout (lean version) I was hooked and excited. It was actually fun yet tough at the same time. I love getting up to exercise now each morning. I can't wait to get out of bed to push play. I feel great, revived, and energized now. I am now a fitness fanatic. Thanks so much Jaime!

I love to help encourage others and see them succeed so I thought becoming a coach would be a great way to do that and continue to be with my family. I look forward to helping you succeed as well!
