I use to be heavier when I got out of high school. So I went to college and started a fitness technician program, from learning and having the knowlege of healthy eating working out I lost 30 lbs and kept it off. I got married and continued to workout and stayed at about 120 ish but hardley any muscle, I did a ton of cardio and not as much weights, then I got divorced in Jan of 07 and started to party hard, it really took a toll on my body. I got depressed and ate alot and didn't sleep. I got up to about 148 in August 07 and decided I needed to do something different. I was still working out really hard but my diet was not perfect at all. So from August to Oct 27, 07 I was pretty strict with my diet and lost quite a few lbs. Now I am just trying to keep a clean diet and working out just as hard as ever...and preparing for competitions.
It is almost a hobby and a way of life now. I go to the gym and just think and relieve all my stress, it really is the highlight of my day. The feeling I get after a great workout is the best high in the world!
