When I was in grade school, I was the fat kid...and was teased relentlessly for it. Coming into high school, a lot chubby and even more insecure I decided to make a change... to promised myself that I would do everything to learn about healthy living and getting fit. At a scale busting 200 plus pounds, on a 5'6" frame I started running, and eating well. One year later hit my ideal weight.
Years later weight training became part of my regime, and hence competing followed shortly afterwards. I have to admit...I do love the stage! The work that it takes to get on to the stage is a reminder to me that being healthy and making changes are a conscious choice. This not only applies to physical conditioning but other facets of my life as well, I chose to ‘to do’ what it takes to get me to goals I dream about. The best part about this lifestyle is sharing my successes with others to inspire them! I have a small fit frame, and I just love to see the expression on peoples faces when I tell them my story. As part of my goals for branding myself in the fitness industry, it is my hope to have people see my face in magazines as a source of motivation to strive for everything they want. Especially good health!
Out of everything this life has given me - it has given me self confidence. The confidence to believe that I really can do everything that I put my mind to. Now at age 29 I can say that I have three college diplomas, am working towards my degree, and have a sweet full time gig as a sales rep for a natural products distributor.
I try to live my life in the present and enjoy life’s sweet moments. For what tomorrow brings nobody knows, but you can bet your sweet ass what ever it is, I’m ready to handle it….physically and mentally!
