I am a working mom of two little ones and my husband is a Submariner in the U.S. Navy. Life is busy! I am also a Military Veteran with 7 years of service in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Surface Warfare Officer.
So a little bit more about where I came from. I grew up on a farm in Upstate, NY, riding horses and enjoying the outdoors! I received my undergraduate degree at the U.S. Naval Academy and then got to see the world for the next 7 yrs! My husband and I wanted to start a family and it made sense for me to leave the service. Fast forward a few years, a couple moves, and we have two beautiful children!
Why is fitness so important to me? It's always been an important part of my life......I've run two marathons, a sprint triathlon, numerous 5 and 10K's and have taken several spinning classes! I love being fit but I haven't always paired that with good nutrition. After my second child, I needed help and that's where I found a Beachbody Facebook Accountability Group that put it all together for me!Being apart of that Accountability Group changed my life. I lost my baby weight and was eating healthy! I knew I wanted to be apart of this AMAZING Beachbody Community so I signed up and have LOVED every minute of it!
