About Marisa:
This is me and my family. I have two lovely daughters and one very supportive husband, the Friendly Pharmacist. I've had my up and downs when it comes to personal fitness.

I was always a little bigger than my friends in high school, gained the freshman 15 (x 2) my first year of college, and then found myself in unhealthy habits of starvation diets during my last two years of college. Since then my weight has yo-yo ed. Being pregnant was my excuse to let myself go, and now I'd like to develop a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family.

I'm 5' 1" and currently weight 137 lbs. Wow, never thought I'd share that on the inter webs.... I'd like to decrease my weight as well as my body fat (which was in the "high" category last time I had it checked), and develop more strength overall. Right now, training for a 10K that will take place on March 25, 2012. Follow along with my progress!

Jenn has really helped me improve my nutrition overall by developing better eating habits and being more aware of what I put into my body. I hope continue implementing these changes and find new fun ways to eat healthy. I'll share it all along the way-- the good, the bad, and the ugly!



About Jenn:
Hello Everyone! My name is Jenn and this is my wonderful husband Kevin. I have two pomeranians that are the cutest things you have ever seen. I love everything about food. I could research and talk about it all day if I could. My husband and I have started to eat gluten-free and try to go organic as much as possible. We have fallen in love with nutrition, food, and fitness.

I have been through the ups and downs of weight loss and I know how it feels to be frustrated with yourself. At my heaviest I was 163 lbs and at 5'2", which was like the Sophomore 20 instead of the Freshman 15. It has taken me several years to change my habits, but now I am happy with myself and my stronger body. Strong and healthy is the new skinny.

I will soon start on my journey to compete in a bikini competition, and I don't mean the type at the beach. I will put myself out there to show you that anything can be attainable. I will discuss my nutrition, my ups and downs, and my results. Wish me luck!

I hope you are ready for a lifestyle change and wonderful journey to health. My goal and passion is to help others reach their health and fitness goals. I am excited to learn together and teach people about new foods and nutrition knowledge. Just know that anything that I write about has been researched from different sources and my own experiences. My approach to teaching nutrition and fitness is small steps, for big changes.
