About Fitsouffle

Welcome to Fitsouffle!  I created this blog as a way to share my passion for food and fitness.  

I live in Chicago with my husband and our sweet shepherd mix puppy Moose!  

Fitness has always been a big part of my life, growing up playing sports, getting a degree in Kinesiology, and making fitness my profession.   I am a NASM certified Personal Trainer, Fletcher Pilates Teacher,  member of the PMA,  and a certified Healthy Moms Perinatal Fitness Trainer.  

I love food!  I try to eat healthy 90% of the time and leave that 10% to splurging.  I studied abroad in Florence, Italy my junior year of college and overindulged.  Coming back I was a few pounds heavier than when I left and decided to lose the weight and find ways to still enjoy the finer/sweeter things in life.  Finding a balance between exercise and eating can be easy to do with the right motivation and moderation.  

Moose and me, twins I know.
