Why six years, you ask? Well, six years ago was the last time I walked across the Miss Georgia stage and looked like this…

The funny thing to me is, most people would not classify me as large, fat, overweight, or any of the words that you might be thinking of due to my obvious “disgust” with myself. But, what I have found is that the numbers don’t always add up to what the naked eye sees. Our society views skinny as "healthy", but the core of true health lies within our bodies, not just what we see on the outside.
Over the past 6 years, my life has changed drastically, I will share more as I go along, but here are some of the major changes: I have started a career, got married, and had a baby! None of which are naturally good to your body. Most careers equal sedentariness (is that even a word?), husbands equal man food (pizza, hamburgers, fries...you get the point), and babies equal no sleep! Bad combination!

This is where I get my Zumba on! |
I’m excited about this journey, and I hope that you enjoy sharing it with me. Whether you come join us at Redefined Fitness, or whether you pave your own way to health wherever you are, all I ask is that you make your health a priority! At the age of 7, in Ms. Cantrell’s second grade class, I chose my life verse; although I have failed it many times throughout my life, I hold it close to my heart and am striving to build and protect God’s temple through this process of redefinition!
I Corinthians 3:16-17: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
Stay tuned, because there is a WHOLE lot more to come! I will be sharing more about me, if you care to know, and digging deeper into some of the topics I've noted above. Most importantly, I will share lessons and tips on what I am learning at Redefined Fitness – including transformation pics & workout pics and videos – as I become REDEFINED!
Till next time - Allison
My name is Jessica Mooney (Owner Of "A Touch Of Southern Elegance) I have been following Allison through this forever gratifying experience, and I must say, She is a real ROCK STAR! She's motivated like no one I've ever seen and has gotten me into Zumba, Weight Training (CrossFit Style) and eating Paleo as well as the Owners of this gym. I'm so VERY proud of her and can't wait to see more progress out of her and my self as well. You ROCK Allie! :))
