FitBody Foods™
Feed your Body
I was born in Riverside, CA and spent the first 32 years of my life there, receiving my B.S. degree in Psychobiology from UCR after a somewhat protracted period of on-again, off-again schooling. Before moving to Napa I lived in Pacifica and San Francisco, where I moved from Southern California to pursue a Master's degree in Biology. I love Northern California, especially Napa, and would probably not choose to live much of anywhere else.
I have been a Napa resident since December 1998 and live here with my husband, Mitch, step-daughter, Nicole, son, Gabriel, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 chickens, a rabbit and a chameleon. My parents recently moved to Napa after over 40 years in the same house to be near us, especially their new grandson, Gabriel.
The path that has led me to establish Fitbody Foods really began in early 2006 when I started exercising with Napa Adventure Boot Camp and Jeff Larson. I was excited when I saw the first ad for boot camp in the Napa Valley Marketplace and joined the 2nd or 3rd camp. It was really hard at first but I loved it and signed up for the whole year after just a few classes.
At the end of my 2nd camp I found out that I was pregnant, at 44, with my first child, quite an unplanned surprise! Unfortunately, I did not feel well enough to continue exercising during my pregnancy nor was I interested in eating well. On the plus side, the extra poundage that I was carrying at the time and my lack of interest in food resulted in a fairly low pregnancy weight gain.
Gabriel was born in January 2007 and I rejoined boot camp 4 months later. Since I chose not to return to work (I was in the mortgage business at the time, so what a blessing!) I was able to attend the 9am boot camp. There I met a friendly, dedicated, dynamic, motivated group of women mostly with their own businesses. As my weight dropped and my health improved I found that I really needed to listen to my trainer, Jeff's, advice about improving my diet. I started making Fitbody bars for myself, shared them with fellow boot campers, and with their urging and positive feedback started making the bars to sell.
I named my company FItbody Foods not only because I have one now, a fit body that is, but with the intention of developing additional healty and yummy products in the future. In addition, my maiden name is "Boddy" so there a connection and kind of an inside joke as well.
As I work to raise my son, start my business and continually improve my own health I am also working on a Nutrition Educator certificate through Bauman College. I am excited about the path that my life is on, one that I could never have imagined just 3 years ago, and eager to see what the future holds for me.
