I wanted to lose weight in preperation for my 21st birthday in 2011. I had always been tall with a flat stomach up until I was 16 and thought no matter what I ate I would always stay like that.... Alcohol, a first boyfriend, no sport and a 9-5 office job proved to me that by the time I had turned 19 I would pay for my unhealthy ways.

In the time I started my job - got my first boyfriend and moved out I had gone from a size 12 to a size 16 and had no desire to change that.

Then came the inspiration from my sister and family to get a bit healthier... So I took on an extreme approach, worked super hard at the gym, took *Optidrene* and still recommend it as my number 1 dietry supplement. I went back to a size 12/14 in about two months.

It wasn't enough for me to stop at that goal - I was so inspired by a group of friends who competed in Tough Mudder in 2012 that I decided I wanted to do it in 2013. So then came my desire for strength, power and aerobic greatness.

I am also a singer/songwriter and have high ambitions of modelling as well as doing TV acting and really pursuing a fabulous career in the industry - if I can be a fit and healthy figure I think there will be more opportunities open for me!

I love the endorphin rush and feeling of satisfaction that comes after a hard workout.
I love being able to control physical aspects of my body/life when many other things (work/social) seem out of control
I love being confident in my own body - after suffering from eczema since I was 7 I have lacked alot of confidence
I love aiming towards new heights and challenging myself to do better
