Why I Got Started
dot

I was severely depressed after I had my second daughter. I was put on medication and rapidly gained weight. The weight gain on top of the depression was making life unbearable for me and everyone else around me.

My eight-year-old daughter Ellen begged me to go to mother daughter yoga because she thought it would make me feel better. She was right. Soon after I began taking pilates classes.

Those classes had full length mirrors on the walls. It was then that I was forced to really look at myself and I realized I had to make a bigger change.

How I Did It

I started researching diets and nutrition and came across this website. After lurking on the message boards for a few weeks, I decided to start following the keto diet.

The weight came off rapidly. I lost somewhere around 25 pounds in just over four months. I added cycling and resistance training to my routine and that is how I firmed up.

Training

Every week I attend pilates two times, I cycle 15 to 20 miles almost every day and I do basic training moves like situps, pushups and dips, each about 150 each per day.

I just began attending a HIIT aerobic/weightraining program that utilizes multiple reps with a 30 pound curl bar.
