Dorky as this sounds... I started to get involved with body building due to a love interest...I know right...don' t judge. :) I was a cheerleader and dancer all through high school and onto college. I knew nothing about weight lifting - the "hard Core" stuff. I started taking classes and reading a ton of books... At first I was just trying to impress this guy... then I lost interest and fell in love with the gym.

I love working out- it keeps me happy. I am more grounded and in control of my life. It's my metal break from my world- which at times can be so overwhelming and hectic.

My world is 24/7 - My life is a fine balance managing responsibilities, work and fitting in the time to play. There is always something going on... But I love it and would not trade it for the world...
