Pilates 2007

I’ve been helping clients reach their goal weight and dress size through Pilates, Personal Training, and Coaching for over 7 years and yet I wondered why couldn’t I lose the last 10 pounds I gained during my last pregnancy.  I chose healthy foods that were minimally prepared and didn’t snack on junk food.  It finally dawned on me that even though my food choices were healthy, my portion sizes were supersize. To add to that, I was doing more teaching of exercise and not doing as much as I used to.  Supersize + Decreased Exercise = Weight Gain.

1 day after baby #3 – 2010

When I was pregnant at 40, my intention was to take it easy with portion sizes.  As it turned out,  I ballooned up to close to 200lbs! I couldn’t control my appetite and I was borderline for gestational diabetes. My doctor put me on a low-carb diet, but my body was so used to the carbs it was hard to do. I suffered through my last pregnancy and couldn’t wait for it to be over.

2 years after – 2012

After my baby was born, I was determined to regain the youthful, slim physique I once had.  With the help of Medifast™ and fun ways of exercising, I was able to lose all 62lbs I had gained! I rediscovered the discipline and determination I knew was inside me, the same principles that I’ve been instilling in my clients, and was able to change my lifestyle around to a healthier and more balanced one.

Never underestimate the power of your own will. You just have to choose it.

Warmly,
