I began dating my boyfriend Eddie and we both liked to work out. Because of him, I learned everything I needed to know about lifting weights and how to do it properly. Having this knowledge and adding the diet and cardio is a different story though. When I moved from Boise to North Idaho I decided I had acquired enough knowledge to do well if I wanted to do the 12 week transformation challenge well. After the last 12 weeks I have proved to myself and others just what I am made out of!! I just competed in my first figure competition and got 10th place out of 14 girls. I am so very proud of my accomplishments. But this is just the beginning for me...

I have never felt so strong in my entire life!! I love the feeling of seeing just how hard I can push the limits of myself and to also try different things to see how my body reacts. I feel that when I work this hard at keeping myself healthy that I have the confidence to achieve anything. I also enjoy helping others and inspiring them to do the same. Many of my friends and even some new ones and come to me for advice and I love to pay it forward.
I am just finished in my first figure competition and I loved it! The rush of working for months for something and being able to work towards such a large goal is so rewarding! I can't wait to do it again and see how much of an improvement I can make.
