Why IslandFitMom for a NC girl?? Well, the Islands are my favorite place to be, Fitness is my focus, and Mom is my favorite title. I can't name a time that fitness wasn't important to me, because I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family that emphasizes good health and overall wellness in all areas of life! I always took that for granted until I decided to make Wellness my career and found that so many people don't have that base of health and physical activity. I've always been a cardio junkie (growing up a competitive swimmer), and I've also spent a fair amount of time in the weight room. I never did home videos until I had a baby (10 yrs ago), and schedules change and you figure out new ways to fit exercise into your schedule. I found out about P90X a year ago and loved it as a supplement to my cardio workouts (running, spinning or cycling, and swimming). I work full-time in Wellness, help coach my daughter's swim team, and I'm so lucky to be married to the most amazing, supportive, caring husband that always helps me strive toward my next fitness goal, whether it's a race or just completing some crazy workouts. One of the main things I want to teach my daughter is that you can achieve anything you set your mind to with a little hard work and determination. She laughs when I use one of my brother's quotes "Head down, Ugly Faces". Really, doesn't that fit when we have anything we're trying to accomplish...just put your head down, grit your teeth and go for it. So, when my friend asked me to be a beachbody coach, I became very excited about being able to encourage others to improve their fitness level, no matter what your starting point is. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you that I love nothing more than to see people become more physically active. I've taught adults to swim laps when they were scared of the water and never learned to swim as a child, and I've also taught classes to people training for Ironman competitions, so I believe everyone can benefit from some "coaching" regardless of your athletic ability.

My fitness goal: Tone Up

Transformation story

So, thinking of a transformation story has brought to mind so many thoughts and ideas. I am fortunate enough that I have always maintained a certain level of fitness (had to in order to keep up with 2 older brothers), so I have always been interested in helping others transform and see that a healthy lifestyle can really be a lot of fun and not so difficult to achieve. I want people to see fitness as a way of life, instead of something that they do if they have extra time. Really, who has extra time??? We have to make fitness a priority so we can live life to its fullest. So, I guess my transformation really is that I want to be a role model to parents and children alike, and show them that you can be fit even in these busy times. So, join me in making this transformation happen for everyone you know.
