Member Since: 11/13/2007

Fitness Minutes: 20,314
My Goals:
This year, my main goal is to push myself outside of my fitness comfort zone by doing more strength training. I also want to try as many new classes and types of workouts as possible!
I'd also like to cook more by challenging myself to try several new healthy recipes per month.
For my mind, I'd like to read, write, and get more into yoga this year, too! :)
And, the biggie-- drink more water!! I'll be the first to admit that I'm awful at getting my 64 oz in. Using Spark to keep me accountable!
My Program:
Working out at least 4x/week, incorporating more strength training and new-to-me exercises.
I eat a mostly clean diet (very few processed foods), and love making veggie-based meals, though I do eat meat sometimes.
Personal Information:
I currently live in Cincinnati, but moved around and traveled a lot growing up. I still thrive on exploring new places every chance I get! I like to write, sing, dance, and cook with my friends. I have a bachelor's degree in health promotion and education, and love to help people reach their personal health goals.
Other Information:
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."-- Albert Einstein
"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
--Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
