It all started 4 years ago I was at my doctor's office having a general check-up. She felt a cyst on my breast and right away she got me to the specialist. This was a turning point I was only 33 yrs old with two young children living a beautiful life with my husband. It took 3 weeks to get a result and it felt like forever. I cried all night the thoughts of me having a breast cancer was horrible feeling. I got it removed and very blessed that it was benign. It was also awake up call to take care of my body. I joined the spin classes for 3 months that's all I did and then started running while watching what I eat. I shed all the pounds and lost all my fat. Then one day I saw a long time family friend doing a bikini bodybuilding. I was amazed how she looked and I went to see her on her competition. I was hooked from then I gave myself time I said one year I will be on the stage. I hired her coach to guide me. And this coming October 2014 I will be on that stage joining the young ladies to show and strike a pose! I already felt a winner just hitting my goal was a big success!

Working out gives me the time for myself. I could release my stress and have my alone time. Bodybuilding also helped me cope with my Aunt's passing. She passed way this February 2014 I was so depressed and grieving. I used the gym to released the depression for 2 months I lift and hired a personal trainer. The result was outstanding! I'm much better, healthier and happier now.
