Middle-aged, my ass!

About Me

My name is Aida and I am a wife and mother of five beautiful children. Two years ago I was what I had always dreaded becoming - Forty, Fat and Frumpy. Aaaack! Seeing myself for the first time as I really was in a photograph woke me up to the fact that I needed to do something and do it quick or I was doomed to an unhealthy, unhappy, lackluster life. That was not the example I wanted to set for my children!I believe that everything good in a person's life stems from a sound mind, healthy body and a fulfilled spirit. So I made some changes. I learned to eat right and got back into a gym. I set goals and made myself accountable to a group of like-minded individuals. Slowly, but surely, I began to get results. In all, I lost about 50lbs! You can check out my story in an interview I did at www.BurntheFatInnerCircle.com.Today I am no longer 40, Fat and Frumpy but a 40+, Fit, Fun, Fitness Trainer :O) I specialize in helping women who are much like I was before I began this crazy fitness journey. I am also a Certified Children's Fitness Specialist.Last year I competed for the first time in two figure competitions. Absolutely the most frightening, yet exhilirating thing I have ever done! Needless to say, I'm hooked. I would also like to try my hand at a Women's Tri Fitness, which includes fitness events and an obstacle course. Additionally, I plan to compete in a bodybuilding competition in the spring. Hee hee, not because I think I'm all that musclebound (NOT) but because I'm sure it would be super fun to do a routine! Since I can't do the splits or flip around like the fitness gals I think this is my only other option to do something fun/entertaining in this arena.I'm here to play with my friends, snoop around a little bit and to make new *real* friends. Okay, blah blah blah, that's enough about me!
