I am married and a mother of four. I just turned 50 (did I say that out loud?-LOL) I have worked in the physical therapy industry for over 20 years. I know how important exercise is, no matter how young or old.

I have always been athletic and never struggled too much with my weight. When I would gain a few pounds I would simply change my diet and drop the weight. Not so much

I am married and a mother of four. I just turned 50 (did I say that out loud?-LOL) I have worked in the physical therapy industry for over 20 years. I know how important exercise is, no matter how young or old.

I have always been athletic and never struggled too much with my weight. When I would gain a few pounds I would simply change my diet and drop the weight. Not so much anymore...dropping the weight isn't as easy as it used to be.

Over the last couple of years, I hadn't really noticed that I was putting on weight. I play soccer a couple times a week and thought that was enough exercise to keep me in shape. After my soccer games, I would go home and eat anything I wanted. After all, I had just exercised.

Slowly, but surely, my "fat" pants became tighter and tighter and I thought I would have to buy a new wardrobe. To my surprise, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I knew something wasn't quite right, but I had no idea it was my thyroid. My doctor quickly prescribed Levothyroxine.

A friend of mine was doing P90X and I saw such a transformation in her, that I decided I should check out P90X. I watched the infomercial several times and then I decided to take the challenge.

I decided to become a coach so I could inspire people like me to change their lives. As we get older, we can't take health and fitness for granted.

I hope you can join me on this journey because where it leads is amazing!

UPDATE: Started a round of INSANITY on 12/21/10. I had done a little INSANITY mixing it with P90X, but I decided I wanted to actually complete the full 60 days of INSANITY before ASYLUM comes out in 2011. Wish me luck!

UPDATE #2: 2/9/11 - Fell a little behind in my workouts due to being sick for 1-1/2 weeks, then a death in my family and then my 11 yr old was sick for 1-1/2 week. So today I am restarting month 2 of Insanity, which means all of the workouts have the word MAX on them. YIKES.

UPDATE #3: 11/7/11 - Started a 30 Day Beachbody Challenge group with 5 of my friends on Facebook. I am doing a P90X/Insanity hybrid, they are doing the program of their choice. Everyone is drinking Shakeology for one meal per day. So far, one participant has already lost 8 lbs!! Woo Hoo!! I will be starting a 2nd Challenge group the Monday after Thanksgiving if you would like to join us. Drop me a message for more details!

UPDATE #4: 1/2/12 Began P90X2! Super excited, yet intimidated! Before pictures and measurements are done and now the HARD work begins. Thankful for my daily Shakeology!! As I get older, the more my body needs the vitamins, minerals, AND phytonutrients!!
