i got started with running. i wanted to lose weight after a 2nd pregnancy. after getting to my heaviest weight of 255, i decided i needed a new body. i gave myself a year to drop 80 lbs. here i am, 9 months later, weighin in at 205. now that half the weight has come off, i want to transform my body. i want to be strong, lean n cut! its a long road ahead still, but i will stop at nothing to reach my goal!

i LOVE working out because it gives me something to prove to myself, that i can do anything i want, so long as i put forth the effort. being in the gym lifting, or running on the roads by my house give me a sense of peace and power i have never had before.
