I grew up in Des Moines, WA and joined the United States Navy shortly after I graduated high school. I am now an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer.
Physical fitness was key in the military and this is where I found my passion for working out. It was that passion that helped me decide to start teaching group fitness classes during my deployments overseas over 25 years ago. Although I did not make that my career of choice at that time, I found that passion again after I became a stay at home mom. I have been teaching group fitness classes now

A beautiful day in the harbor yesterday - sun was out, air was warm and I got a little nostalgic looking at all the Navy ships. Today I got in a fantastic outdoor workout and then lunch at an outdoor bistro. Feels good to be in the sunshine!

One of our favorite things to do together is to attend concerts- last night was in my top 3 of all time and I’m so happy we got to see it together. This guy is the best concert date around! So glad we share this love for music! 🥰

Ok.....fair week is over.....time to regroup, refocus, reset. Get back on track, set your goals for the week and stay on track!
We ALL have bad days, weekends, weeks. It's easy to throw in the towel thinking "I've already screwed up, why bother?" Well pick that towel up, go to the gym, get your sweat on and use that towel to wipe your the sweat off your brow!
Don't use last week as an excuse to continue on a downhill trend.
It's Monday.....use it wisely!

Wellness Wednesday :)
Nutrition is SO important! You can workout every day but if you don't have a good nutritional plan, your efforts in the gym are fruitless.
Don't waste your hard work in the gym on poor decisions in the kitchen.

Don't use your age as an excuse to keep yourself from working towards new and exciting goals. Instead, use that "number" as the fuel to push yourself towards those goals.
I had an item on my bucket list that I wanted to accomplish before I turned 50. I am proud to say I was able to check that item off, I am even more proud to say that I am not stopping there. I will compete again, I will strive to improve. Why? Not because I need to place 1st but because I enjoy setting new goals, accomplishing new things, and having something to work towards.
What goals would you like to set for yourself?
GO!!

Transformation Tuesday
"If you can dream it, you can achieve."
Oddly enough I thought I was "fit" when I took the picture on the left. I NEVER, in a million years, thought I could find the discipline it took to achieve the results I needed for competition.
This experience has completely changed my life. If you want something bad enough, you CAN make it happen.
"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

A quote I have used for years......
"All your dreams are possible if you only have the courage to pursue them."
Something my coach told me on the day of my last show.....
"If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough."
I believe both of these to be true.
What is your dream?
How can I help you make those dreams come true?
