About me

"I struggled with weight issues since high school. Being surrounded by tempting treats and lacking self-control, I found comfort in unhealthy eating habits. My parents worked long hours, leaving me to rely on nearby pizzerias and Chinese restaurants for meals. An incident during ice hockey and a disappointing prom experience made me realize I wanted to change.

However, over the next 20 years, I was trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and frustration. On my 40th birthday, I finally understood I needed a lifestyle change, not just another diet. I learned to fuel my body through proper nutrition, including meal prepping for success. Weightlifting became a crucial part of my routine alongside cardio.

By embracing this new approach, I experienced numerous positive changes. I gained more energy, improved my sleep quality, and saw improvements in my skin and kidney health. My husband also joined me on this journey and found relief from back pain and better sleep.

I've learned that this is not just a diet; it's a manageable lifestyle change that brings long-lasting benefits."
