Growing up, I was always active. In high school, I was on the dance team and continued that on through college. After college, and began experimenting with the "REAL WORLD", I gained so much weight. For my frame, it was unbelievable.

I would get the workout bug for a few weeks, then slack off, after returning to school to complete my Physical Therapy degree. After getting out of a long-term relationship, I decided I need to look out for myself and my best interest and decided I WILL compete next April for my first bodybuilding competion for Bikini Division.

The complete control I have over my body. The more I work, the more the results show. If I slack, it shows. I do not have anyone to congratulate or blame but myself.

There is a rush knowing I can push myself and great things can occur.

I also love that sore feeling, your body telling you, you kicked ass at the gym. Oh, and the looks from guys when I can squat more than them. Priceless.
