    Personal Information

    I am a 45 year old mother of 3 with 2 bonus girls by marriage. I also have a three year old granddaughter. I work a full time as a registered nurse. My husband and I enjoy working out together. It’s nice having a partner to keep you motivated!

    What are your greatest fitness accomplishments so far?

    I was overweight most of my life. Eight years ago I lost 50 pounds exercising and eating less. Last year I started working with Julie. I was not terribly unhappy with my weight, but I wanted to improve my body composition. She was able to help me achieve this. I have completely transformed and I am not finished yet!

    WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU SEEN & WHAT HAS HELPED YOU MAKE THE TRANSFORMATION?

    Losing 50 pounds over a 6 month period and keeping the weight off was a big accomplishment for me. Making changes to my body composition, seeing body fat decrease and muscle size increase has been amazing.

    What do you enjoy most about fitness?

    I love how it makes me feel. I feel stronger and healthier now than I did in my 20’s and 30’s.

    What are your fitness goals?

    My goals are to continue to improve my weak areas. I’d also love to be a part of the Fit Body Contest Prep Team and maybe one day compete.

    What motivates you to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

    My family motivates me. I want to be healthy and inspiring for them.

    What is the best part about working with Julie?

    Julie is the best! She is compassionate, responds quickly to emails and she has helped me get to a level I couldn’t do on my own. She knows her stuff!

    What is the worst part about working with Julie?

    She is too far away!

    I love how fitness makes me feel. I feel stronger and healthier now at 45 than I did in my 20’s and 30’s!
