Bio (Morgan)

Hi I’m Morgan,

I’m really excited to start this blog with my friend Megan writing and sharing some of topics we talk about everyday! I’ve known Megan for about 2 years and we have developed an awesome friendship.

I believe in God, strong family values, and that good health and happiness are life’s greatest blessings. I am 25 years old and was just married in October 2012 to my best friend James. We have been together for 8 years and I can truly say he is my better half, always bringing out the best in me.  I went to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Health and Human Performance. In college I struggled with body image, diet fads, binge eating and then over-exercising as I was consumed with guilt.   It was a nutrition class and an amazing professor that opened my eyes to the disordered eating and lifestyle I was living.  The positive changes sparked my passion for health and wellness and I find joy now in teaching others. I work as an Exercise Specialist in Cardiopulmonary Rehab with patients suffering from chronic heart and lung disease.  Through exercise and education we help them make healthy lifestyle changes and improve their quality of life. While it is rewarding working in health care my positive perspective has been challenged more than a few times!  Those weak moments is when I have learned the most about myself and with the support of James, my family and long talks with Megan ,I have grown from each experience! I have seen how much having perspective can make or break my days and how with strong faith, family, friends, and a positive attitude I can live the best life possible! I look forward to this new journey and sharing, learning and hopefully laughing a little along the way!
