How far back should I start...let see I was born in 1974 (oh sorry that is way TOOOO far back) let's move forward shall we, please keep your hands and feet inside the time machine at all times, thank you. . .
. . . . . . . . .
Ok it is now 1992 I'm out of high school heading to my first duty station in Bitburg Germany - What FUN FUN FUN, cheap beer good friends and I was HOT!! (notice that awful 3 letter word - was) hehehe moving on...
Got pregnant - got married - had my oldest in 95, got pregnant again in 96 decided my job in the military wasn't compatible with motherhood so told uncle sam it was time for me to go.
A few years later my husband and I divorced (long story) then a year after that we were re-married (YIPPEE)
Then we found out we were expecting AGAIN (really wanting a girl this time) and I had a TERRIBLE ob/gyn who put me on bed rest - I got reallllly over weight - lets face it I'm being nice to myself in the hopes of making myself feel better...I got FAT
Join martial arts (TKD) with my older two boys after the cruel twist of fate than gave me ANOTHER boy and went from a 16/18 to a 6/8 YEAH!!!!
Then we moved to wonderful Texas and I got fat again because the martial arts in the area here is VERY expensive - actually that's just an excuse I got lazy......and let's face it I like to eat :^D
Well I also had a 'lump' and if it wasn't for the scheduling of a breast reduction surgery (yes guys some women feel there IS such a thing as too much) we wouldn't have found it until it was to late because technically I'm not old enough for an annual mammogram. Well they took it out - I lost 4 pounds per side ;) then regretfully due to sitting on my butt in recovery not able to push or lift anything over 5 pounds (for 8 weeks) and the over indulgence of little debbie brownies (mmmmmm) I got fat ;^)
So that is the story of my weight up and down and OUT.....
Here's something else or to if you haven't stopped reading yet...
My kids are 21, 19, and almost 15
One in the Air Force and another is now a Marine!! Semper Fi!!!
I am a Certified Personal Trainer and received my certification as Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. In a few years I'll head back to a more traditional school to get my masters in health and wellness.
I'm also a perpetual student in Middle Eastern Dance (aka Belly Dance). I am a member of two different dance troupes, co director of "Twinky's with Filling" and Director of "Collectively Unique"
I currently teach three nights a week out of my home. 3 dance classes (ages 4 and up) and a belly dance based fitness class.
So stayed tuned for regular blog updates throughout 2016. Remember the motto for my core troupe "It's what on the INSIDE that counts"
"MOTHERHOOD - The toughest job you'll ever love!"
May all who read this page be blessed as they strive to be the very best that they can be.

My Goals:
To teach women and girls everywhere that beauty is not defined by ones dress size.
Fitness is also not determined by a number on a scale but in the way we feel and the healthy choices we make in our lives each and every day!
My Program:
Teach dance 3 days a week, attend 2 classes of dance each week, work my "circuit training for the belly dancer" program twice a week.
Make hourly good health choices :)
Personal Information:
I currently reside in Texas. Spent quite a few years active duty military.
Mother of 3 wonderful boys... 20, 18, 14
Wife of 1 (and that's a good thing too)

Good Morning!!
I just moved from Irving to Euless, I am new to the NE Tarrant County SparkTeam, and I would love to see more activity in the group.
Stop by and say hello when you get a chance! I need some health-minded Texans to talk to.
Hope all is well in your part of the county!

Thank you for your comment.
I'm happy ..just the way I'm right now, but there are many people that are so hung on the numbers. I thought this may be a good way to show that the number on the scale doesn't tell all :)
