It has taken me a few days to write my personal bio. I'm a walking contradiction - my interests are running, cycling, swimming, and nutrition, yet here I am signed up for the MaxFormation with a goal to lose 50 pounds. Yikes!

I haven't always had a weight problem. I used to be a very good athlete and I absolutely LOVED to compete. I was very lucky to have great coaches that understood the "whole" athlete, with nutrition being fundamental. I've gone up and down over the last 12-15 years, it seems. I'd reach that "uh-oh" stage that motivated me to get back to the gym and eat better. But eventually, the weight would creep back up. I don't have a logical reason for it, probably laziness (ok, definitely laziness) and making my health a low priority.

I have an incredible 4-year old son, Jack, and I have not been setting the greatest example of a healthy lifestyle. I am good about my eating habits with him, we definitely eat well as a family. I don't let him drink soda, eat a lot of sweets or junk food, and one of his favorite foods is broccoli. I just hide the late-night snacking from him (shame on me). Isn't there a saying, "If you feel like you need to hide something, it probably isn't a good thing to be doing in the first place?"

I always envisioned going out for a run or bike ride with my son, teaching him how to swim, or seeing his face cheer me on from the sidelines of one of my races. I've done nothing to make that happen, and I'm ready to change that.

So, here I am. On a journey to lose weight, make living healthy a priority, and spending more time feeling good about myself.
