My reason to start working out is actually a sad one. My father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes around two years ago. I felt let down as if he did not care about me enough to even stay healthy. I see now that he cared so much about me and others he lost sight of himself. In order to not fall down the same path, I got a rec pass and started my journey. What I did not realize is this journey will never have an end I have fallen in love with working out and eating right. My goal is simply live life by example and make those around want to change their lifestyle for the better.

Working out allows my mind to go far far away from reality as if I am the only person on this planet. I find peace and accomplishment every day. I love watching how my success has changed others around me for the better.
