<p>I didn't grow up playing sports, my parents didn't really inspire my siblings and I to be active.&nbsp; I grew-up on a farm, we just were active.&nbsp; Once I left for college I started making poor food choices, and never exercised. I gained 20 pounds over the course of 4 years.&nbsp; When I graduated and started my career as a social worker, I worked odd hours, ate whatever was quick and easy, and was often too tired to do anything but lay on the couch when I got home.&nbsp; I remember feeling upset about the way I looked and even worse about the way I felt.</p>
<p>One day I decided that I wanted to change how I felt - no matter what it took. I thought that I would take up running, it seemed like a good idea until I tried to run a block - wow did my chest burn.&nbsp; After a few weeks of running a block then walking a block, I could finally run a whole mile. I continued on with my running and even ran my first 5K after losing the 20 pounds.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not long after I got married and soon became pregnant with our first son. I chose to eat whatever I wanted and to not exercise because I told myself I was too tired. I regret that decision, after giving birth to our second child, I had about 35 pounds to lose.&nbsp; I decided to take up running again and this time I added some weight training to the mix.</p>
<p>About 6 months later I registered for my first triathalon. I went on to compete in many more races and completed my first marathon in the spring of 2009. After the urging of my husband, I decided to become a Certified Personal Trainer. This proved to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.&nbsp; I have so much passion for helping others become the person they know is inside waiting to come out! &nbsp; One of my favorite quotes is:</p>
<p>"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." <strong>Zig Ziglar</strong></p>

<h3 class="title"><span class="journal-entry-navigation-current">Club&nbsp;Manager</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: black;">I have achieved success in a multitude of roles; motivating, managing, advising, creating, representing, but none so rewarding as wrapping them all together to encourage and motivate people on their path to good health and well being.</span> &ldquo;Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life&rdquo;.&nbsp; I never realized how true this could be.</p>
<p>My brother and I would do our push-ups and sit-ups every night before bed, and every morning before breakfast with our Mother while growing up.&nbsp; I have always been aware of the fact that I am ultimately responsible for the way I look, and feel. I look forward to giving people the tools they need to become aware of the impact their actions have on their body.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.anytimestpaul.com/staff/rss-comments-entry-5975573.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Joe</title><category>Anytime Fitness Personal Trainer</category><category>Joe Wittwer</category><category>Staff</category><dc:creator>Jason Wittwer</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:24:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.anytimestpaul.com/staff/2010/8/16/joe.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">467851:5331449:5975566</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span>&nbsp;</span></span><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
