About Me

Austin, Texas
Personal Trainer/Life Coach I have always been active, but also hit a low point in my life when I needed fitness to pull me out of my funk. I did high jump and was Co-Captain of the co-ed cheer squad in college. I took gymnastics for the first time in college when I was 21, loved it. I enjoy running outdoors to help clear my thoughts. I'm competitve and love listening to pre-game speeches. I want to ignite a fire in everyone. I come from a big family, we are closely knit together and at times wish we weren't.

Brick Walls of Determination

"Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people'
— Randy Pausch (The Last Lecture)"

We are coming upon the thick of the Holiday season, when we all get invites to parties and dinners. The holiday season often brings with it an extra 10-15lbs in a single MONTH!

Don't be one of the people who looks at the brick wall and says "I'll start after the holidays" or "I've tried everything and nothing works".

You have to plan for success and map it out, otherwise you plan for failure. Brick by brick, day by day, inch by inch we push through to being closer to where we haven't been before. We have to envision our goals and the small achievements along the way there. We must not be afraid of succeeding and enjoy the journey there.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a leg up on the goal and not be farther behind? Don't let the Holidays be an impossible wall. Impossible is nothing!!!
