After being an athlete most of my life, I got lazy after college. I became active again when I fell in love with playing roller derby. This got me off the couch and active again. This wasn't enough to get me back into the shape I was when I was 10 years younger. It wasn't until I saw a picture of myself that I realized how much I had let myself go. I tried all cardio and not changing the way I ate. I dropped some weight but I would get lazy again and it would creep back on. Fast forward 3 years of yo-yo weight loss and gain, I got serious.

I decided I didn't want to be skinny, I wanted to be fit, I wanted to be strong.

I love the way I feel after a hard workout. I can feel myself getting stronger everyday and this is now starting to show in skating with my team.

All the hard work is worth it with how amazing I feel!
