Was always active and fairly fit, but gained a lot of weight with my last child that I wasn't losing very quickly. I joined a gym in 2012 and started with some cardio since my body was healing pretty slowly from a beastly delivery of a big baby. As time went on I cleaned up my diet cutting out sweets, processed sugar, soda, and juice. I had some great results and started researching female bodybuilders and following their workouts. Once I got the workout gloves it was on like Donkey Kong.

This is my therapy and my drug. I am a stronger, better person, worker, and mother because I put my physical health first. It is me time where I can push hard and progress in a way that keeps me mentally balanced and happy.
