My poor body took a toll in my previous life and I never knew how disgusting I looked until I flipped through some pictures of me on the beach during the summer of 2009. I had gained about 20 lbs in 3 years and I had never felt worse. I looked unhealthy and was definitely overweight. I decided to get serious about my health and put all my knowledge of health and fitness to work to prove I could be the girl I knew was buried deep down inside. Over the next 3 years, I lost over 30 lbs and felt awesome. Then I got a new job, was in a three week training program and didn't have a chance to work out. I gained about 10 lbs back, but lost muscle in the process as well. Needless to say, three months later - I still look like crap. I know what I am capable of and I am ready to get back on track and take control of my body again!

I know what I am capable of and I can't wait to re-accomplish my goals - but stay there this time. I love the feeling I get when I walk into a room and heads turn because people are impressed with what they see. It is encouraging to me to keep going and continue working hard!
