About [me]

Hi there.

I'm Melinda.
I'm a 33 year old mom to three.
I'm slightly addicted to bacon.
I think narwhals are awesome.

I love photography, although I've turned into more of a instagram junkie.
Sad, but true.

I'm usually awkward when it comes to talking about myself.

I've worked at GNC for the last seven years, having managed the store for the past six.
I'm certified through NESTA as Lifestyle and Weight Management Nutrition Specialist.
I am interested in becoming a Kid's Nutrition Specialist as well.

I'm a geek.
I'm a Canadian living in The States.


I used to be unhealthy and obese.
Once upon a time, I weighed 285 pounds.
That's quite a bit, even when you're 5'8" or 5'7" -- I'm not entirely sure. I had a doctor try to tell me that I was 5'4". I decided after my second child that I wanted to be healthy.  I started exercising and learning about nutrition.

I love kettlebells.
Almost as much as I love bacon.

I am a cat person.
