Hi there friends!!!
By jennincat • Aug 26th, 2008 • Category: Lead StoryThank you for visiting my new site!
One of my passions is healthy living. Despite this passion, last spring I reached my highest non-preggo weight ever due to a bout of chronic depression, outside circumstances, and poor choices. Unhappy with my self-image, the choices I was making (and that the fact I was going to have to start buying new pants) I decided I had to choose to get healthy again. In June 2008, I decided to start training for my first figure competition. My initial goal was to lose weight. I didn’t realize I would begin to lose others things in the process, such as my lingering sadness, my bad attitude, and my low-self esteem. As of today, I have lost over 15 pounds and feel better than ever! Most importantly my chronic depression has all but disappeared and I once again have the confidence and energy to give to the people and activities I love. I’ve created this blog because I love people and want to share what has worked for me. Feel free to email me with any questions and sign up for my newsletter to receive free updates, recipes, workouts and more! Good luck on reaching your own health & fitness goals. You can do it!!!
jennincat is is no longer a yo-yo dieter. For over half my life, I’ve struggled with my weight and self-image. I’ve tried every diet under the sun and most of them worked - temporarily. Each diet left me more frustrated with myself than the first. One day, I realized it wasn’t the diet it was me and I decided I was going to make the changes I needed to get my best body ever. One problem was motivation and discipline. So after some serious internal reflection I felt like I should prepare for a figure competition. My goal is not to win the competition but to lose that fat and bad habits I’ve accumulated over the years, in other words, I’m competing to lose.
I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. We own and operate Nims Media, from our home. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, writing and daydreaming.
