After high school I had to have surgery on my hip to rebuild it because it wasn't fully developed. Call it a birth-defect I guess. Anyways, during physical therapy I started noticing muscle tone in my legs and I was so excited that I had made that. After therapy, I joined a gym and found a free weight workout by Denise Austin that was in some magazine. I did that workout like every day along with some major cardio. My diet also changed dramatically by cutting out all junk foods for the most part. Before I knew it, I was a new woman. My fingers got smaller, my face changed and I was no longer that 175 lb. girl I was in high school.
Ever since I picked up my first set of weights, my life has never been the same. The drive to workout has taken me to a place I never thought possible. I love the results and I love the heads that turn when people see me. It's hard for me to put on muscle, so when I was finally able to it was an awesome feeling. I also love how working out makes me feel emmotionally, mentally, spiritually, and of course physically. I feel like I can do anything when my body is in shape and I love being a woman whose not affraid to go lift with the big boys. Before bodybuilding became a part of my life I always felt like I never fit in anywhere, but when I started to seriously work out, I gained a lot of respect from everyone in the gym. Now I have guys asking me to spot them.
