About the Fox
It's wonderful to have you here!
If you're starting with me from the beginning you can see I am not like the typical trainer. I am still on my own journey to health. My biggest obstacle is the dragon of food addiction. It took a long time for me to come to terms with my addition to food. I struggling on a daily basis against binge eating. Against eating without even realizing how much I've eaten. I work constantly on mindful eating. Eating until I'm only 80% full instead of stuffed. There are days are days when I never feel hungry, but at the same time, kind seem to feel satisfied.
One of the pages here is a weekly log of my food intake. This is my own two edged blade. It helps me stay accountable to my meal plan for the week and is there for you to refer to. I want you to see I am not perfect. I still eat a treat here or there. I have a refuel meal each week. And yes, I want you to see my mistakes as well. I do not have nutrition plans (yet) because I do not have a certification in nutrition, but I will in the future.
I love exercising! Growing up I did all kinds of sports. In high school I worked on a horse ranch and trained horses. I was inspired by my mother, a fellow NASM Certified Personal Trainer. She is a Master Trainer with many certifications and nearly nine years of work. She is top in the company she works for. I shared a little bit about her story in my very first post. My mother lost 50 lbs when I was very young. Young enough for my memories of her at the time to be distorted into the fit person she is today, but there are pictures of her that help show what she looked like before. I remember her training. I remember her dedication. I remember watching one of the least athletic people I've ever seen train for a marathon in Death Valley, California. I remember she was more active with her children and truly strived to live through example. She still does.
I received my license as a beautician in 2010, but it wasn't the right field for me. I'm a T-shirt and jeans kind of girl. Most days I don't do anything with my hair besides put it in a ponytail and I rarely wear anything more then mascara. I had no business being in beauty school. I remember crying once because before beauty school I had been very good at seeing the aspects of people, but due to beauty school, it got to a point where I began analyzing everything about a persons face and hair. Not to find the beautiful parts, but to find the "ugly" and figure out how to "fix it" or to hide it. Sure, I know how to enhance someones natural beauty, but there is such a huge push to make someone look as beautiful as possible in the beauty industry that people tend not to look like themselves once all the extras are removed.
It took a long time to get back to seeing only the beautiful and use my training to enhance instead of hide. To this day, I still enjoy updo's, makeup, and cutting hair and have helped many people enhance their natural beauty. That was that key though. Helping Others.
That same desire to help others carried into earning my NASM CPT. I want to help others be the best version of themselves. To help them be comfortable in their own skin and bodies. To help them feel confident. To help them build their bodies for a healthy functional life. To be able to participate in whatever they want, when ever they want, with the lowest risk of injury, with confidence, with happiness. To live life to the fullest!
I want to help you have your best body!
So you can have your best life!
