I used to think my life was really ordinary but one day everything changed.

 

I am a working mom, wife, animal activist, entrepreneur and former binge eater turned fitness and business coach. It was a hot day in August where a trauma that almost took my life, changed me forever.

 

This is a little about my story…

People tell me all the time that ‘I don’t unde People tell me all the time that ‘I don’t understand what it’s like to battle with my weight and health.’ I am calling bullshit. For as long as I can remember, I struggled with disordered eating. Things like diet pill addiction, yo-yo dieting #bingeeating, fear of food, extreme food guilt and more. But because it wasn’t classic anorexia or bulimia (which is all we learned about in school) I figured it was normal. After a lifetime of struggling, I lost 50 lbs {the healthy way} twice, once before Michelle and once after. I have hard days but I’m determined to continue to improve my relationship with food and fitness to set a good example for my no. 1 fan ❤️ I’m still not my perfect BMI and some might consider me chubby {GASP!}. Part of my recovery and being know that the scale can be useful but it is only ONE measurement, it does not define my worth. If you’re ready to get started or start over, shoot me a message. I have 3 awesome coupons and free weeks of meal delivery to help you get started. No wraps, no pills and no crash diets. I know what it’s like, I’ve been there and I will be right there doing it WITH you. You can do this and I can help.
6 months ago I took a chance and applied to an exe 6 months ago I took a chance and applied to an executive program at @mit.beaver And I got in!!! It wasn’t a good time to start, but it never really is... Today, I earned my degree in Strategy and Innovation. And my first degree in my married name and with a brain injury #tbi #trauma
I was sorting through my inbox last night and 99% I was sorting through my inbox last night and 99% of what I get is heartwarming and uplifting. So many ladies telling me how much weight they are losing, how much energy they have and how they are excited something FINALLY WORKED. There is always that one debbie downer, ya know? Someone says to me "How can you be a coach? You are fat." I chose not to respond but what I wanted to say was: "Well, actually, I am not fat, I have fat.” Yep, my thighs touch and I will likely never have a coveted thigh gap, when I sit down my stomach rolls and my arms even jiggle! But that makes me real and that's why I love this little 'job" of mine. I am not a fitness professional. I'm a regular girl, with a regular life who is taking the time to stay active and take care of herself. I have many of the same struggles that you all have. I have goals and milestones but I don't have an ultimate goal because I don't plan on ever stopping. My job is to encourage, motivate and do my very best to stay on track. The ladies and gents I work with inspire me to do more and I am not going to let one person get to me. So while I used to let these comments REALLY get to me, I don’t anymore. Instead, I’ll proudly tell you that I have fat, my thighs touch, my arms jiggle AND I have same the same struggles you do which means I GET IT. And I have legit solutions to help ❤️ Also, you look fantastic today 🥰😘

I’m in an executive time management course this I’m in an executive time management course this week as part of my degree at @massachussetsinstitutetech I think I’m good at #timemanagement, but I always believe in leveling up. The FIRST tip the professor gave us was ‘have a boring breakfast’. You have to eat to be productive, and you have to make it something that you don’t have to think about to keep it simple and focus on other tasks. He has the same cereal with skim milk every single day. I got this one down 👌
I ate lunch in the library alone because I had no I ate lunch in the library alone because I had no one to sit with in high school. At the time I felt so lonely, I thought there was something wrong with me. The reality is, I just took a little longer than most to find my true self. I am not a mean girl. I have zero tolerance for bullies. I don’t fit in as a suburban Mom. I’m a different breed. You can sit with us. And always...BE KIND #youcansitwithus
Imagine a world where exercise and nutrition were Imagine a world where exercise and nutrition were about gaining strength, confidence, health and longevity and not just about weight loss and being thin. Radical, I know. This radical world is what I have built for my clients. What are you waiting for? #fitishgirl

It wasn’t always like this...but I'd rather ROCK It wasn’t always like this...but I'd rather ROCK self confidence, self worth + self love than six pack abs any day! I’ve got a secret, the scale and a six pack does not define you. That's "diet culture" knocking at your door, just stop answering. And if something promises to get you them with a magic morning potion, cutting out an entire food group or do a million crunches...RUN! Even if it did work, without self confidence, self worth + self love, it won't stick. And if it feels like a "diet" you're NOT doing it right... How about learning to take care YOU first, mind, body + soul? I’m excited to go into 2021 offering a simple plan that includes: 1. Treats that you will enjoy and not feel guilty about 2. Focus on real and delicious food 3. Rest and self care 4. Getting your mindset right 5. A massive variety of simple at home workouts from beginner to advanced 6. And of course, daily support and accountability because you are not alone! If you're READY to get off the damn diet roller coaster and finally learn how to simply nourish your body right along with all the love, drop me a fun Gif or send me a PM! YOU ARE AMAZING and it’s time you started believing it. #fitish
One thing that was NOT on my 2020 vision board was One thing that was NOT on my 2020 vision board was going back to school. I actually swore after my MBA that I would never go back and threw myself a ‘I’m never going back to school party’. Sometimes things just happen and you roll with it 🤷‍♀️ 5G Product Marketing, Entrepreneur, Momma, Wife, Dog Rescuer, Philanthropist...why not add student to the list? So 2 months in, and I’ve finished 2 classes toward my executive degree at MIT #newyears2021 #newyearsgratitude @uhsmhealth

These scars remind me that I am stronger than what These scars remind me that I am stronger than what tried to hurt me. These badass scars are from my crash and my c-section. They aren’t pretty but they are a reminder of what I’ve been through and that I went on to have a baby, walk, talk and live a normal and pain free life. All things that were not a given. But I’m grateful everyday to be here, and in a weird way, thankful that they are part of my story. #ptsd #traumarecovery

Yesterday, I completed my second ever 5K!!! My f Yesterday, I completed my second ever 5K!!! My first 5K (18 months ago) was well over 40 mins and took me 8 weeks to train for it. This took me 30 days and I ran it in just over 35 minutes. I’m pretty much a 🏃‍♀️ ⭐️ I always get super emotional when I hit milestones like this. I run for those who can’t. I have more injuries than I care to list and lots of reasons why I ‘can’t’. I remember being wheelchair bound and wondering if I would ever WALK again let alone run. But here I am, setting #PR running a #5K by myself in some crappy-ass weather. I am thankful for my health EVERY 👏 DAMN 👏 DAY 👏 and I’ll never take it for granted.
While she is not quite ready to reveal her identit While she is not quite ready to reveal her identity yet she did give me permission to share her progress. My hope is that inspires someone who has been nervous to start. This is one of the clients that I’ve been working with over the past few years and these results are INSANE! Yes, she looks amazing BUT I can tell you the biggest change I’ve seen in her is her mindset. She now radiates positivity and is learning to love herself ❤️ Drop her some love and let’s show her that this progress is AH-MAZ-ING! #healthcoach
Kindness always wins. There are very few safe ac Kindness always wins. There are very few safe activities in a pandemic and keeping a toddler entertained is a challenge. Going to visit our friends and their horses is one of them. It’s outdoors (or in an open barn) and Michelle loves seeing the horses and is getting so brave. I’m so proud of how much she has learned and her desire to help. She talks sooooo much about them and how awesome AnneMarie is. It’s the cutest thing! Holly Marcus and AnneMarie have been welcoming Michelle and I for the past 6+ months. It’s the kindness that Michelle is learning that makes me so thankful to have such amazing friends. #equestrian #horsesofinstagram #tinyequestrian #ottb #bostonmoms
