Hi!  I'm Cherie Persichetti born and raised right here in Auburndale... I'm a 40 yr. old mom of 4 boys. Happily married to Tony,(the most wonderful man in the world).  At 30, I found out that I only have 1 Kidney & it was headed toward failure.  That was my wake up call, we all get one sometime in our life.  I'm just glad mine came early enough to do something about it.   Up until this happened, I was a busy stay at home mom of my 4 boys running them here & there.  I somehow "lost" myself  during all the years of being totally focused on my boys.  We've all felt this.  Per my doctor's, everything I do either helps my health or hurts it, So I began my daily fitness routine, heading out every morning with my double stroller pacing 3-4 miles a day. For the first time since High School, I'm exercising & loving it!  Once my youngest was old enough to start kindergarten, I began working out at the gym 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day.  After going to the gym for only 1 month my cholesterol dropped 100 points, my kidney test are near normal.  That was just the beginning, I have continued to work out 5 days a week and even getting certified to teach "Zumba", a fun dance fitness class that is a must if you've never tried it!   I am cardio crazy most of the time.  After keeping up my fitness routine, not only have I went from a size 12 to a size 4 but I'm getting the best results from my doctor that I could have ever wished for!
