I began working out as a new years resolution. I was fed up with my weight yo-yoing over the years. Summer of 2012 I was a comfortable size 10/12 and by December holiday celebrations I could fit nothing in my closet. I had ballooned to a size 16. I knew there had to be a way to get my weight under control. I researched and read and decided that my treadmill collecting dust would not be enough to change my body for life. December 31, 2012 I joined a gym and began working out the same day. I just wanted to fit into my clothes. On the Journey to get back into my dresses, I fell in love with the iron.
I love working out because it is an amazing outlet that renders results if you are consistent over time. I've advanced further than I ever imagined. I love that there is always something new to learn, a new PR, an area for improvement. Bodybuilding is a life long project, a project that will never be finished.
