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.

1 mile from finish and 3 minutes under goal time. Rock 'n Roll Chicago half 2011. So happy!

Hard at work :-)
