When I Started:
Jun, 2005
How I Started:
I started working out; kick boxing and weight training seriously before I came to the islands for school. The stress, late hours and overload kicked in while I was down here; my positive attitude changed to negative. I didn't have a gym, or the time to work out; I developed a poor body image, anxiety from stress of a demanding load and poor diet. I took a couple months off in 2008 to get my life back in order; to reprioritize and learn how to manage stress and anxiety in a positive way. Success; i was able to shed the excess weight, eat healthy, and work out regularly. I am much more positive, better able to manage the workload and have more self confidence in my abilities.
Why I Love It:
I love working out because it has helped me to focus on my studies and develop a positive and confident attitude. It is my stress reliever.I look forward to that burn; my early morning training.
How I Stay Motivated:
I feel i am in control of my body when i am healthy and fit. When i see results; such as my clothes fitting loose or fitting into clothes I never thought i could, it's a great boost. Looking at my healthier image and knowing that i am a role model to some keeps me focused and wanting to always improve.
