After I realized how unhealthy I was living, and how heavy I had let my body become, I embarked on a journey of learning, rebuilding habits and weightloss. Once I had achieved a good result with the loss, I began to realize I still did not have the body I wanted or felt I deserved to have. This is where my new learning and educating began, I stepped into a gym... a whole new world, complete with total intimidation, crippling insecurities and awe inspiring bodies!
I refused to give up and walk out, I refused to allow my own weakness drive me back to the couch and the bottle... I wanted a strong body, with sexy, solid curves....... I was/am willing to work my a$$ off to get there!!

I've grown to love, even to crave, my time in the gym. I have found My comfort zone and I am working well within it now. My daily stresses simply disappear while I train... My head/mind clears and my need to focus on the mind/muscle connection takes over...
The biggest stress I deal with during my workout is whether or not I should skip a particular song on my playlist!!
