I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 6 years ago when I got my thyroid removed. I struggled so hard to learn how to work out and what to eat. After many tears and frustration I now get excited now to help others rock their fitness journey and encourage them to keep going so they feel amazing too. Fitness has changed my life physically and mentally more than I ever dreamed possible. It gave me a whole new life and ability to show my kids that anything is possible if you work hard and never give up.

My current fitness is primarily weight training and running but I would say that my favorite way to exercise is riding my bike because it’s mentally freeing and there are so many beautiful trails. In 2023 my goal was to ride 2,023 miles but I chose to keep going and ended up with 2,609 bike miles. The best part was seeing my children jump, cheer and clap for me when I hit my goal. That day changed my life forever and keeps me pushing harder every day by setting new fitness goals.

I would love to take my family on an amazing vacation where we can experience fitness in new locations and enjoy having fun with many new adventures. I would also love to add new equipment to my home gym to keep me motivated and excited to challenge myself even more. Anything is possible with the right mindset and equipment!
