Lost myself in my marriage and being a mother. I was unhappy and slowly killing myself with fast food and smoking. In 2010 my husband and I divorced. I moved back to Virginia. I started working out and slowly I started changing my life. In 2012 I started training with an amazing trainer. He was able to help me see my potential. He motivated me to quit smoking and clean up my eating. I've been able to run 5k, 8k, 10k, 1/2 marathons and a full marathon. Training has help me realized that I like the bodybuilder's body type and I want to change my body completely. Now I train 7 days a week and eating clean. I'm still fighting my weight but I know in time I will achieve the body I earn and deserve. I'm willing to put in the work.

Every time I hit a new PR is so special to me. Because of bodybuilding I have confidence in myself and I walk with my head up. I believe in myself and know I can accomplish anything with hard work.
