I am a 38 year old foodie and fitness fanatic! That’s quite a conundrum, let me tell you. What this means is that I love my food so moderation and my love of fitness is all the more important.

Facts about me:

• I live and work in Portland, OR
• I may be one of the only people I know who actually likes their job.
• I had weight loss surgery, specifically VSG, 12/5/13.
• In May 2015, I was down 120 pounds even.
• As of October 2016, I’d put on 34 pounds as a combined result of a cortisone shot in my shoulder, a change in birth control and, frankly, poor food choices.
• My goal has always been, and remains, 160. But I’d be pleased to get to 170.
• I have done ALL kinds of fitness. Bootcamps, yoga, PiYo, Zumba, weight lifting, circuit training, spin class, Hammer and Chisel, 21 day fix, etc. I definitely have my favorites.
• I always have at least one injury I’m fighting against, but I never give up.
• I got married in October 2016!!
• I’m a great cook, but I do better at a recipe than “winging it.”
• I’m an even better hostess. I love entertaining. One person, small groups, large groups, huge parties, other people’s parties… I love it all 🙂
• I love blogging, vlogging, sweat checks, food finds… all the social media things. 🙂
• But I don’t twitter or and I rarely snapchat. I’ll stick with Instagram and Facebook and flyegirlfitness.com … that’s more than I can manage as it is. 😉
