I am the mother of two grown children. I have one grand-son from my daughter and a beautiful grand-daughter from my wonderful son.
My husband and I own a flooring installation business. We install ceramic
tiles, slate and hardwood along with infloor heating systems and custom built-in showers. We opened the
business in 1996 after retiring from the Canadian Military. At that time we did
it all. Carpets,lino,hardwood and tile.I went to work with my husband and
helped to install the flooring, which kept me active and in shape.
Ten years ago I decided to quit smoking as I was starting to have
trouble breathing. It was then that I seemed to start eating more and I gained
about 10 pounds.
I also noticed that my heels felt like they were bruised all the time and
decided to go to the doctor.After many years of installing floors I sustained
damage to the joints of my big toes. The cartilage was totally destroyed and
now I have trouble bending my toes back. (it is painful)I also now have fallen
arches and have gone flat footed.
Needless to say this left me in a position where I was no longer able to go to
the jobsites as I was unable to get up and down from the floors with out great
difficulty.
The big "M" (menopause) hit me hard about 5 yrs ago and I found my
metabolism slowing down even more and the pounds kept packing on.
My friends and family kept telling me " oh, you look good,these things
happen as we get older".
Well if this is what getting older is all about, I wanted no part of it.
When I was in my early thirties I joined the gym, I got into body building I felt great all the time and my energy levels were always up.
I needed all the energy I could get to keep up with my children and all their
activities as well as work full time at a bank. Most of the time I was raising my
family on my own as my husband was in the military and usually away.
Right now I run the office end of our business from my home office.Usually
going on the road once a week to check out the job sites and make sure that
I collect the paperwork I need and to see my husband as he is usually away all
week long only returning friday nites and then leaving again monday
morning.
I love horseback riding and own my own horse.I try to get out riding
whenever I can. I keep her at my friends farm just outside of town, so I don't
get to ride all the time and the town I live in is rural and very small so no
gyms here to join.

Power 90 was only the start of my health and wellness journey. I have many of the Beachbody workouts in my library. This is journey, a new lifestyle. This IS my new life!!

I have been working out to Beachbody programs now since July of 2008.
I lost in excess of 50 pounds and have managed to level off between 125 and 130 pounds.
I am pleased with the weight loss but realise I am not happy with the final result or look of my body. I am getting older now and have kept a small amount of fat and loose skin right over my abs. So I have made new goals and moved into a new direction. I need to figure out eatting clean and building muscle. This is a change in mindset from just " I need to lose weight"
So my transformation story is *still* a work in progress. I need to find my answers to achieve my personal goals.
I find that the longer I am doing these workouts the more my "goals" change.
I must "keep on keeping on"

Just a quick update. As at todays date I have been able to maintain my weight. I did put weight on over the holiday season which was followed by my Hawaiian vacation. Since returning home at the end of January I have been working out to Rev Abs and have gotten back to 130 lbs. I am hoping by the end of the program to be down to 125lbs once again. I am not a coach but I so strongly believe in these products that I started my own fit-club here in my home town. The numbers are low right now but we will grow in size over the coming year as Now is the time.There truly is a fitness revolution happening.
