Healthy Wife, Happy Life

image
Ria considers herself the "CEO" of a large successful conglomerate (her family)! With 4 kids, a husband, a dog, and working as a claims manager for an Autism Therapy company, she has been able to wear many different hats. She is a self-proclaimed exercise fanatic and health nut (or at least trying to be) and she sees life through "rose colored glasses". Never having considered herself a "chub" before, she turned to food as comfort after the loss of her mother, so she knows what it is like to experience that type of relationship with food. After struggling for some time, she began to change her mindset and prioritize her health. She joined a gym, started a health/fitness plan, and 3 months later, she was down 30 pounds. It has been two year since her journey began, and she has gained nothing back but muscle and some tricks on how to maintain. Follow her, and she will tell you the same thing she told her husband, if you have a HEALTHY WIFE, YOU WILL HAVE A HAPPY LIFE!

Give Me 17 Days to Change Your Life

I never was a fan of diets. I could never fathom the mere idea of depriving myself of my family’s cooking, considering my husband is a chef, and my mom and grandmother were two of the best cooks. Therefore, diet wasn’t… Read more »
