I started lifting in highschool at age 16 and got serious at age 18. I went from around 125 lbs to 165 by age 20. I've lifted off and on since then over the past 10 years. After several years of a busy/stressful job and 3 kids, I found myself at over 200 lbs and a slow metabolism. I started up again in June 2010.

I'm in awe of the human body and it's ability to adapt, change and grow. I love that I can control my diet and workout.
