My Personal Bio:

As I said, I'm a mother of 4, love being a stay at home mother and really look forward to helping others turn their lives around just as my husband and I have over the last year. We are a husband and wife team and have a fitness challenge launching in May of 2008. You can get to it by going to the site thescheffychallenge.com

It's going to be INSANE! We're going to show you how to stay the course, get in the best shape of your life and to stay there. It's all about being accountable to each other and building community. I've found that's the one thing that's been missing. We need to do this together so I'm here as well as my husband Jason to help you in your journey. Just say the word and we'll be with you.

My Transformation Story:

My name is Tracy Scheff and I'm going to be 46 in May of 2008. I have four unbelievable kids ranging from the ages of 6 to 22 and they drive me nuts! hahaha, but are the joy of my life and my reason for living.
I still feel like I'm 21,(on the inside), but the outside is begining to show signs of wear and tear.
My stomach, hips and buttocks are my problem spots.
I was born a skinny girl and I could eat whatever I wanted. I was never in any exercise program but I danced and rode horses for most my life.
At around the age of 35 I started to pack on some pounds and after my last baby at 40, (ohhh yay), it was really hard to get off the 45 pounds I packed on so for the last 5 years i have struggled. yoyoyoyoyoyo! I would love to grow old gracefully but mostly healthy, watch my kids and one day grandkids grow and not put the burden of an unhealthy parent on their shoulders so I need to change.

My husband Jason Scheff has been an eternal inspiration for me in the last 8 months of his P90X program.
Watching him shrink in size and grow in strength and confidence has truly been amazing.
I have been his personal scheff, I mean chef, measuring and weighing the food that I have prepared for him.
I love to cook so this has been a great pleasure for me using Jason as my experimental lab animal to hone my skills.
I learned many years ago in a cooking seminar, taught by the now famous Martha Stewart, how to flavor food so when I cook even though I stick completely to the P90X menu plan I use my flavoring expertise with tons of fresh herbs that I grow in my garden and spices that I collect from any exotic market I can find. So the food is really tasty and healthy, but... I don't like my own cooking. I would rather eat out or get it To Go. I really need to focus on my portion size because although I'm a vegetarian I can eat a huge amount a food and still be hungry. I'm not a picker or binger and I don't eat late, I just need to kick up my metabolism and stick to portion size so I'm giving Power 90 and 10 Minute Trainer a try. I'm taking baby steps one day at a time and if I fall off the wagon so to speak tomorrow is a new day and I plan on getting back on that horse. yeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa! Tracy
