I started working out junior year of high school after moving to a new town and finally having access to a gym. The pounds shed off instantly and I began to get a little too into losing weight. Pretty soon, it snowballed into full blown exercise bulimia and I got down to a scary 79 bony lbs. After giving up exercising until back at a healthy weight, my metabolism took a hit and I gained too much weight back. Now I'm trying to shed a few fat pounds (the healthy way!), tone up, and get strong.

I'm competitive with myself and love pushing my limits, especially when it comes to fitness. Whether it be sprinting a little faster or lifting a little more, bodybuilding allows me to challenge myself mentally and physically to be that much better than the day before.
