I have been a marathon runner for the past 6 years. About 3 years ago my mom began competing in figure and I totally didn't understand it and thought I would never do it. But, I began going to the gym with her and seeing the amazingly strong women and what they could do, and I decided to give bikini a try. I have done three competitions this year and look forward to prepping for a show next spring.
I love seeing my body change and being stronger than I ever thought. Honestly, I also love the structure of the nutrition as well. It is amazing how nutrients and certain foods work to create muscles. My husband is also a competitor in men's physique and this is something we can do together. I get to workout with my mom as well and the gym is really where I feel at home. My running has gotten even better and I cannot wait to build more muscle to move to competing in figure!
