I've always wanted to be strong, big, and powerful. I think why I started working out was because of things that occurred earlier in my life such as boys dominating me everywhere and telling me I wasn't strong enough even as far to say I was abused in different ways. In my family, you start out normal, then have a huge bulking time from about 7 years old to 10/11 years old, then you burst and grow 6 inches, so it's safe to say I towered over everyone (until 7th grade). Coming up three years ago I got up the courage to start going to my after-school gym which was run by the excellence of the man we called Coach Ross who is also a personal trainer. It was really scary for me to be a sophomore girl surrounded by bigger and older guys than me- yep, I was the ONLY GIRL!!. Coach Ross helped me the whole way through and didn't give up on me once. If I had questions, he'd answer. If I was scared, he'd say "You got this girl, I know you can lift heavier than that!'.
After a year and a half, while skiing down a trick hill, I fell 25 feet (approx) and landed on the back of my head and sustained a pretty bad traumatic brain injury that I will suffer from for the rest of my life. I had to stop my intense workouts and crossfit-friday's completely and that was a major blow to me. That was January of 2015, and just now January of 2017 am I serious about picking it back up. I hope to get back to where I was before but know the limitations I now have. I'm passionate about everything I do, so I strive to do everything I do as best as possible.
I love Body building because it gives me some much needed self confidence as well as helping me be able to perform my job as a dog trainer and handler to the best of my ability. I love the feeling of a great workout and love the feeling of knowing I'm putting the best foods into my body to replenish and restore my muscles, brain and bones. I strive to be the strongest, most muscular woman I can be and will work HARD- blood, sweat, tears- all the good stuff, I'm dedicated to the end. When I'm passionate about something, I get it DONE!!
