About Me

I'm an American living in England with my husband. We've lived here for over two years, and I really love living in the UK and being so close to Continental Europe. When we moved, I decided to finally leave my career of over 7 years and am back at university - changing careers. So, lots of changes in my life in recent years.

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I've always battled with my weight and self image. I had an eating disorder as a teen and have seldom felt happy with my body, even though I usually was within 10 lbs of my ideal weight.

However, when I turned 30, I got married and also developed Plantar Fasciitis. I could no longer run and could barely walk. Living with a man, I started to eat more. Long story short - I gained 65 lbs within 2 years. Nearly 2 years after that, I've lost 25 lbs, but I really want to get back to being in shape and get back to my normal weight.

I also struggle with depression and have all of my life. I find that the more I exercise, the better I am able to manage my depression. So, this really is an important lifestyle change for me. This really is about overall well being for me.

My Inspirations

  • To have better mental health.
  • To have more energy for travel.
  • To have more confidence.
  • To enjoy clothes once again.
