About me

I'm a jill of all trades sorts: freelance writer, evangelist for social media, crafty maven, conference wrangler. Plus just a bit of an obsession about healthy eating and working out.

In the last 18 months, I've lost a total of 42#, losing almost 50# of fat and building strong, lean muscle. Yes, I'll share how I did it you all. It's not that hard, but it's not that easy, either.

If I've got a problem to solve or a question to ponder, you can usually find me in the weight room figuring it out.

    Stephanie,

    I do weight training at the gym 3 times a week, for 1–1.5 hours each time. Free weights(love), cable machines(adore), exercise machines(when there’s no alternative), Swiss ball, and resistance bands.

    It’s slow, steady and “old fashioned” but it works wonders for me physically and mentally. If I don’t get the gym for 3 days, I’m starting to think murder.

    Started with a wonderful trainer who got me over some of the hard parts and got me to do things I never thought I would or could.

    Bet you didn’t want to hear that!

    I love my upper body workouts! And the results are finally showing where it counts: on my arms and upper body.
