About Me

Thanks for stopping by and taking a view minutes to find out who's behind Full Up Feeling. In December 2010, I got food poisoning twice. During my 30 days of misery, I came to realize that I was way passed 40 and head-long into 50 years old. I was 80 pounds overweight, popping Advil everyday for back pain and growing out of my clothes; even my underwear. I was not happy in my life.

I have a beautiful daughter, an amazing girlfriend, supportive family and friends, adorable doggies and one obnoxious cat. I live in the Bay Area, California. A beautiful place to live. I've decided it is time for me to change the parts of my life that were making me miserable. My first thought was my body and how truly miserable I was living in it. Besides, I was not going to buy BIGGER GRANNY PANTIES!

Full Up Feeling is about taking the things that I love doing; cooking, traveling, photography, reading, hiking, camping, playing golf and incorporating new things like running a 5K and Yoga, into a healthy lifestyle. I had stopped cooking. My last airline trip I couldn't fit in the seat comfortably. I haven't picked up my camera in two years. I've had no desire to read. I haven't hiked in five years. I haven't picked up a golf club in over a year. And camping had become a chore. I am tired of hiding behind a fork and watching my life pass me by.

I will learn how to eat thoughtfully, exercise by doing the things I love and enjoy my body inside and out. I want to feel full in all parts of my life, not just in my tummy. I hope you come back to Full Up Feeling periodically and take this journey with me.
