Tell us a little bit about yourself!
I am a mother of a 1-year-old daughter living in sunny San Diego. In my free time, I love to go to the beach, ride my peloton and get outdoors with my family.
What did your life look like before Stronger U?
Before Stronger U, I was the classic yo-yo dieter. I would train 5-6 days in the week at orange theory but hardly stick to a set diet so my weight rarely budged. I would overeat seemingly “healthy” foods and wonder why I wasn’t seeing progress.
What does your life look like now?
I plan my days well in advance. Most days I eat the same breakfast and lunch because I know it works for me and my body! I can then focus on planning dinners that fit into my day with a bit more creativity. I also always plan something sweet for dessert!

If someone is thinking about joining Stronger U, what advice would you give them before beginning their journey?
Make sure you are ready to put in the time. This program works but only if you are committed. If you cheat or just make up what you are eating, you will not see the results you want. It is all about consistency.
