âIâm not where I want to be, but I am thankful Iâm not where I used to be.â
I became a new mommy to a handsome baby boy in 2011 and since then it has been an on going struggle to get my pregnancy weight off. After caring for my grandmother and watching her slowly vanish it really took a part of me and I began to eat my emotions causing more weight gain on top of my pregnancy weight. After she passed away in September 2013 I had completely let myself go. After taking a short family vacation in October I was shocked, heartbroken and absolutely disgusted with myself when I saw our pictures. I did not recognize myself! I was at my heaviest 268 pounds, my heaviest and my worst.
After snapping myself out of my funk I knew in my heart that I needed to change for myself, my beautiful son and my amazing husband...So in November of 2013 I decided to take my life back and I began my journey to a healthier and better me. I feel amazing, still have lots more to go.
I love it, I feel so much better about myself. I am eating a lot healthier and have more energy throughout the day for myself, my business and my son. I love the soreness after every workout. It makes me feel so good and keeps me wanting more and more. Gym time is my time, my time to create myself and create the person I want to be. The Gym is my free therapy!!!
