Welcome to PHAB Lifestyle!
Hi, my name is Sheri and I am 38 years old. My road to a healthier lifestyle really started for me when I was diagnosed with Melanoma in 2002. It was a year before I was to be married and I had just turned 30! It was a total shock to me and well frankly it scared the bejeezus out of me!
Too many years of worshiping the sun and those darn tanning beds at a young age had caught up with me. I managed to get through it and came out the other side with a zest for life and a renewed attitude. I got a second chance by catching it early and I was no longer going to treat myself and my body badly.
So the road began for me then. At that time I was overweight and not eating a very healthy diet at all! Before this I and my boyfriend (now husband) decided to try out Body for Life. It was pretty intense at first, but I stuck with it and it worked well for me. I managed to take off some of the weight. It was a really good starting point for me to teach me about consistency in exercise and how to eat healthier.
Since then I have pretty much become a health nut! I love reading anything health related, exercising, RUNNING and cooking healthy! But I do keep everything balanced. I do not deprive myself of anything but I do practice moderation and it works for me. I am now at my “Feel Great Weight” and the exercising that I do is to maintain and make me feel great!
I have been married for 6 wonderful years to the greatest man on earth! We became parents on January 4, 2007 for this first time to a little boy. We were presented with another challenge as our son was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It has been tough at times but he is the most wonderful child I could ever ask for and that by far out weighs all the other stuff we have to deal with in raising him. He has made me a very forgiving and strong person and I am so blessed to have him in my life.
