For years, I had battled being overweight, especially after suffering a personal tragedy in 1986, where my 21 month old son was killed in an accident. Due to trying to deal with my circumstances on my own and not relying on the power of my heavenly Father I failed. As a result, I was over weight, had no energy and felt a sense of desperation on a regular basis and this went on for a very long time
. In 2003, I walked into an aerobics class at the same gym I teach now, when it was called "The Rock", and the class was hosted by a lovely 50+ year old lady named Barbara Brister. Barbara invited me to stay and even tho I had been athletic all my life, I struggled through the class and at the end she came and talked to me, told me I was beautiful and how great I did and she encouraged me to continue and with her encouragement, I did. I always admired her as she was 50 and fabulous. I told myself that one day I would be the 50 year old woman teaching the class. Today that is my reality. Along with my physical exercise, I began to exercise my spiritual muscles as well, and life took a complete turn. That is why, I understand the struggle of weight loss, I understood the struggle in general, as I have been there. But just as I was motivated by someone, I want to be the motivator. My faith in Jesus Christ as my healer, my deliverer and my provider, along with my personal drive to be the best I can be, has brought me to this point and I am passionate about helping and inspiring others, in the same way. With God all things are possible if we only believe. Through Him we can do all things as He strengthens us. Through His grace, I bring my story and my passion to you. I want to inspire you both physically and spiritually to be all you can be! The word says "we are His masterpiece" and I want to help you become the healthiest and the best you can be. You will work hard. I will push your limits in every fashion. But if you will stay committed and finish your race, you will get the results you aspire. I guarantee it.
