Erie Rose Patterson Monterey Bay, California Certified T-Tapp Trainer Hi everyone, I’m Rosie and I live in the Monterey Bay area of California. I’m a wife and busy mom of two beautiful girls. I love to share T-Tapp with everyone I meet, so why not become a trainer?! I’ve had a passion for fitness since I was in college, although admittedly I am generally lazy! I love the lifestyle that T-Tapp allows me. I can lose inches with out worrying about dieting, in fact I always tell people I hate dieting and refuse to do it! About 10 years ago I put myself on a very strict regimen of calorie counting and 2-hour workouts each day. I lost a lot of weight over a year and lost my menstrual cycles. But what struck me most was the fear I developed. Fear of eating out or socializing with colleagues or friends. I was afraid to eat something that I couldn’t measure or weigh and afraid of going over my daily quota. That is not a way to live my friends! I was able to be very strict at the time because I was living in a new area where I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t have a life at the time so why not make it working out and getting in the best shape of my life? The plan worked while I lived there, but as soon as I tried to move back to "main stream" life I gained the weight back and my metabolism was shot. I am so grateful for having T-Tapp in my life since being introduced to it in 1999, to me T-Tapp is sanity! It has helped me rehabilitate a severe back bout, it doesn’t exacerbate the calcified tendonitis I have on the bottoms of both feet, and I don’t need to spend the money or the time to go to the gym or to hire a sitter to be able to workout! People are always astonished when I tell them I don’t diet, I only workout three times per week and I’ve lost 3 sizes doing it! I love that the longer I do T-Tapp the better my body gets! Another gift that T-Tapp has given me is the ability to accept my body for where it is! I know that with T-Tapp my body will get where it needs to be and it will continue to improve, I am now enjoying the process! If you would like help achieving your fitness and health goals, I would love to help you get there! Life is a journey, Rosie Patterson erierose@t-tapp.com
