My issue has always been consistency. I have gone up and down in weight so many times, I get dizzy. Been every size from 0 to 20. I always let my weight define my happiness. I spent years living a very unhealthy Vegas lifestyle drinking, eating and partying 24/7. I beat many detrimental addictions and then by the grace of God met my wonderful husband who was a tri-athlete at the time. I began living the active lifestyle I once knew as a teen and always knew I was meant to. However, after getting married we definitely got comfortable. We both LOVE to eat! Our "before" pictures certainly tell the tale. Due to our family medical history we decided that we need to be pro-active and start being more consistent with our diet and exercise. Nothing like a lil' competition to get you started :)

Bodybuilding gives me strength both physically and mentally. I am able to handle anything life throws at me after a good workout.
