I've always been active - ever since grade/high school. I was involved in various sports, but I didn't start hitting the gym until my senior year of HS. I used to be a cardio queen, now I am all about the heavy weights. I saw what a difference they make in a woman's physique. I wanted to be strong and sexy, not skinny fat. So, I started lifting heavy in the summer of 09. I followed Body for Life, but wasn't eating enough, so the gains I made weren't showing. Went through this continuous cycle of spinning my wheels, not eating enough, until about a year ago when I finally realized how much I CAN eat to maintain my weight. Now, I am working on a long and slow bulk and hope to compete in about a year!

I love the badass feeling it gives me. It powers me up and it keeps me motivated to do more, to do better! I try to improve on something each and every time I go to the gym.
