Hi there!!!
My name is Patti Pendleton. I am a single mom, with three wonderful children, with a certification in personal
training,nutrition, infant/child CPR, adult CPR, AED, and first aid. I am currently working towards a degree
in Exercise Science.
Like most of the population, I had issues with my weight. Not until last year, that I decided to do something about it.
My journey started six years ago, when my youngest son came down with liver cancer. For a single mom, wow,
right? Yes, it was a struggle, though God was there with myself and my children every step of the way, and everyday.
I had accepted that there was a reason why this happened. And if it was time for my son to go to heaven it was okay.
I started educated myself on the reason cancer is developed, why it starts etc.... I started immediately changing
the way, I lived, the way I eat, the way I washed my clothes etc....
After my son got better and is now cancer free... Thank you Jesus !!!!
I got away from my changed ways, and started going down the fast food path of destruction. That is when I started gaining
weight and not caring. It sometimes take something terrible in one's life for them to see the real meaning of our life and
how we need to take care of our temple(our body). The way God has intended us to take care of ourselves.
I let myself get up 132lbs (size 10) and now have lost 13lbs (size 4/6) and over 12 inches. And still
working on changing my life. Success takes time, Rome wasn't built in a day.
The grim reminder: that the cancer can come back even worse; has kept me in check, and that is why I decided
I could not continue to feed myself and my children fast food.
For the past two years, I had wanted to become a personal trainer, though put it on the back burner, kept making excuses
not to just get it done. Then when it hit me; I was gaining weight like crazy. I had to make that LEAP. I needed
to change my life and my children's.
I honestly believe the reason my son came down with cancer was my lack of knowledge about eating right. And a big
wake up call-- the Lord was calling me back to him, wanting me to be closer to him. Since I strayed away from him, subconsiously
thinking I can live and do everything on my own. Was I wrong.
I didn't drink water, I ate fast food every day, and drank only diet soda.... Wow!!! You think that couldn't be
the answer why my son came down with cancer? Yes it is ........ I ate no veggies nor fruits; the two fighting blocks
to free radicals in our body. My immune system couldn't fight all those free radicals in my body, in which I passed onto my
son, prior to his birth. My son is truely a miracle and I honestly believe that is why God has blessed me to encourage others.
I have found my calling that God had intended for me to do. To share my experience and help others live a better,
healthy and more positive life through EDUCATION---MOTIVATION---INSPIRATION.....
I look very forward in helping you succeed!!! You can DO IT and I will show you how. Though Jesus anything is possible!!!
Sincerely,
Patti
