I started a few years ago after my husband kept encouraging me and quickly got hooked. I had a history of muscular and joint pain but once I started getting stronger my confidence grew. I had to stop to undergo medical treatment and now, 2 years alter and having had my third child I am starting again.

It is the best way I think I can stay sane and build confidence in myself and my body. I want to see the weights I use going up. I want to feel like a warrior woman so when the self esteem demons come knocking I can own my body and own my strength. I want to be a mother who hasn't given up. I want to be sexy and weights are the way to do it.
