My Fitness Journey

If I take you back 3 years ago to when I was 185 pounds, I wouldn't say I was unhappy.

I had tried all the diets...Weight Watchers, Adkins, to name a couple, and finally, counting calories. Every single calorie was written down every single day.

About me...

My name is Jen, and I'm a wife and mother to two beautiful boys! I grew up in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, a little suburb of Columbus, with my parents and my two siblings. My love for health and fitness started when I was young, playing soccer and softball all through high school. After high school, I went to The Ohio State University where I got my Bachelor's degree specializing in Logistics. When I'm not working out or hanging with the fam, I'm working as an onsite rep at Big Lots Inc on behalf of Unyson, a 3rd party logistics company. We handle all the transportation for Big Lots while providing strategic planning and cost saving initiatives. I work with amazing people and love my job...yes, it IS possible. My goal for this site is to provide all the knowledge I've learned over the last few years that have helped me become a healthier and happier version of myself and offer macro coaching to anyone who needs help to get to that same place!
