Every journey begins with one step, or so they say. It seems as though mine started with about 1,000 - many of them forward, but plenty of them heading in the wrong direction. I battled my weight and the self-esteem issues that came along with that rollercoaster my entire adult life and gained and lost (and gained and lost, and gained and lost) hundreds of pounds over the years. My highest weight was somewhere north of 200 lbs (I am only about 5’2”). For short periods of time, I managed to get myself focused on a goal (a ridiculously low weight or pants size and running a half marathon are the two that stand out the most from those years) and would work my ass off toward it. A few times I hit the weight/size goal by starving myself and doing endless cardio, and I eventually did complete a half marathon (after two years of over-training, trashing my knee, having to quit running for a while, putting on 20-40 lbs and starting all over again). The problem was that I never really found my “why.” I relied on motivation, and once that ran out I found myself right back where I started or even a few steps back.

Once I realized that "motivation is bulls*it," and I focused on changing the habits that kept me in that never-ending cycle, I was able to finally turn things around for good. I fell in love with fitness and nutrition and decided I wanted to help others who had been stuck in the same rut with no end in sight.

Let me help you find YOUR WHY and build the life you dream of, one habit at a time.
