I had always thought I ate "healthy" and I did workout pretty hard. I blamed my body and had always thought that there just must be something wrong with me, or maybe I was just not capable of losing weight. I thought I knew a lot about fitness and nutrition, but I was about to be schooled.
The birth of my daughter really put everything into perspective. I could go on living the way I had- struggling with weight, "trying" to be better, but something had to CHANGE! I knew then that ignoring myself and my health will effect my family and that was not something I wanted to do. I did not want my daughter to struggle with her weight and self image her whole life. Those scars run deep and I don't think they ever heal entirely. So I got off my butt and kicked it into high gear. I was already a member of Total Woman gym and attended quite regularly. I made a schedule and did it. A contest at the gym really helped with motivation and an online community of woman called Fit Yummy Mummy (www.clubfym.com) really educated me. It was not until the last three weeks of that contest did the pounds start melting away. And during that time my coach, Traci approached me and showed she cared. She saw me working hard, she saw the little change, but knew that I had far more potential. I met Traci in her Turbo Jam class and she kicks my butt on a regular basis as my personal trainer now. I love exercising and eating supportively; I am enjoying my journey to fitness. Turbo Jam was a huge part of how I got to where I am and I am so excited to see how much further I will go. I have just gotten certified to be a group exercise instructor and in teaching Turbo Kick. I am so excited and pumped to get my fitness career off the ground. I have also just started a blog (fatmomtofitmom.wordpress.com) where I hope to encourage and support others on their own journey. We can do it! Join me and change not only your life, but your kid's too!
