11 months after my daughter was born I was struggling the worst I ever had with my weight, body image, fitting into clothes, etc. I was still wearing maternity clothes because none of my other clothes fit. I knew I had to make a change. I contacted a local Personal Trainer to help me come up with a plan with diet and workouts to help me lose the goal of losing 10-15 lbs. I also told him that I wanted to be in the BEST shape of my life. I had no intention of competing. I just wanted to look and feel better. But, once I got started and began to see the progress, I was hooked!! I decided to compete in my first NPC Bikini competition just 6 months after lifting my first weight. And after 8 months of competing, I was an IFBB Bikini Pro.

I love the way that my mind and body feel when I get into the gym, lift heavy, and push my limits!! Bodybuilding has allowed me to set and smash goals that I used to only dream about!
