About Me

Hi, I'm Karen Browning! I have struggled with weight and health issues nearly all of my adult life. When I was getting closer to 50, I decided I wanted the second half of my life to be better than the first health-wise. And it sure is looking up!

While I was an over-the-road truck driver, I developed a whole lot of bad habits. I drank pop (I mean A LOT of it!), ate junk, and didn't make time for movement. I was a mess! I developed Type 2 diabetes, depression, and weighed in excess of 250lbs. I tried several different "diets", that many people had success with. I did have some success, but lasting change was elusive. Plus, with my lifestyle of living on the road, it was hard to keep up with meetings or special food. 

After finishing OTR driving, I settled in to a new routine, had our daughter, and thought I was fine in my own skin. Then at 49, I realized I wanted to be around to play with my grandkids and be able to move the way I wanted. (I had a hard time even getting up off the floor if I sat down to play with my daughter or pets.) Thus began a health journey that led me to this passion to help others like me! 

I'm happy to share more of my story when we connect.

I recently finished my course to achieve the status of Certified Personal Trainer! It is my goal to work with underserved populations that traditional personal training doesn't always reach. As a former over-the-road truck driver, I know the difficulties of getting and staying fit. I have a heart for those who have the "want to" but not necessarily the ease of getting support, planning, and help with execution.
