As an Independent Beachbody coach, I want to help and inspire women to live healthier, more active lives. My name is Jen and I’m 37 years old.
I’m happily married to my best friend, James, my husband of 4 years. We have two beautiful children, my super high energy 3 year old Luca, and my feisty 1.5 year old Maria. So what started me on my journey to live a healthier, fitness focused life? Well, it essentially goes back to my childhood. Throughout much of my early years, I was heavily overweight. Sadly, the teasing and name calling that d

Christmas Town at Mountsberg 🎄❄️ What a great night - wagon rides, cookies, crafts, and a visit with Santa in his cabin in the woods ❤️. My little mans response .... “Mommy, why did this Santa look different than the one on the train?” 🙈. Did I mention he is only five?!?

I ran this race last year at 30 weeks pregnant, with my husband and kids cheering me on at the finish line ❤️. Today, at 9 months postpartum, I didn’t PB, but my pace is ALMOST back to my pre-pregnancy speed 😍. When you have a husband who supports you conditionally, magic happens! Love you , and super happy that you didn’t have a heart attack at the end of your race, after only managing one 3km run in the last 4 weeks 🙈

Baby J has decided napping is optional - Mommy is not on the same page 😂! After a long day, this little 5km was more for my mental health 😳!

As I sit here enjoying our tree 🎄with all three kids asleep (yup - by 8pm ), my eyes always come to rest on this ornament ❤️
My mother LOVED Christmas 🎄.
She would have LOVED spending yesterday with my babies as we rode the Santa Train 🎅, the highlight of my little mans Christmas, my only baby she ever met 😢.
Her eyes would have lit up as her “Lukey” could not contain his excitement when Santa arrived. And she would have scolded me for not bringing more food for Baby J who plowed through more pasta than both Maria and Luca ever could in one sitting 😂😂😂. She would have held Maria tight when seeing her apprehension as the big guy with the white beard approached and told her there was nothing to be afraid of ❤️
The holidays are truly magical, and my mother loved the magic ☃️🎅🎄
So as the holiday season unfolds, keep the magic alive as you spend it with your loved ones, and cherish every magical moment as you create memories ❤️

Well hello snow?!?! ❄️
Admittedly, I hate the cold 🤪.
But there is something about the snow that I find a little magical (minus it blowing in my face of course!), particularly as we head into the holiday season 🤶☃️🎄
If you can’t beat the cold, why not run in it?!?! 🤷♀️
First snowy run 🏃♀️ (8.5km) of the season in the books ❤️
What is ONE thing you love about winter?! ☃️

Honesty time for me!
Last week wiped me out and I have been really struggling with motivation.
November blues?!?!
I even caved to some emotional eating 🤷♀️
But guess what?!
This is a lifestyle right?
And when you remember that, it’s okay when you have a few off days or even weeks, because when it’s a lifestyle, you always find your way back 😊
This 17km run was more for my head than anything else.
It was the awesome ladies in my November strong accountability group that provided the motivation for this run. Seeing them log all their workouts pushed me to get my but moving too!

Guess what peeps??
I DIDN’t wait for the New Year to shed these 60 pounds after my second pregnancy. And with my last pregnancy - I’m on track to hit it again by the end of the month ❤️
Guess how I DIDN’T lose the weight ... running!
You know why?! Because weight is lost primarily in the kitchen - that’s the bottom line! And when you COMBINE that nutrition with 30 minutes or so a day with exercise, and have the SUPPORT of a small online group of women doing thE SAME thing as you?!?! Well, that is where the magic happens ❤️
You have heard me talk about my accountability groups before, but are you ready to learn more?!
Do not wait for the New Year - you deserve this now ❤️
And let’s keep it real shall we? There is an extra treat in store for you for taking that first step this month!
The little Miss is going back to gymnastics!

I missed it by two days 🙈
But this little miss is now 8 months old ❤️
Something we do a fair bit in my online fitness groups, is we talk about our WHY - the thing that drives us to workout, eat clean, and stay on track with our health and fitness goals.
Guess what mine is ... me 😍 .
My mother in law and mom missed out on being grandmothers to my three babies, as both were taken FAR too early
If working out and eating "mostly" clean will increase my odds at longevity, I'll take it! 🤞
Because the BEST part of my life is being a wife and mother to my babies. I want to watch them grow up, and I want to watch them get married and have children (if they so desire). I want to love them as long as is humanly possible 😊
So I will continue to lead a healthy lifestyle, and hopefully inspire a few people along the way ❤️
