I started working out because my uncle experienced major health issues (heart problems) and kidney failure at the age of 46 from dietary and hereditary issues. That for me was a wake-up call as I was asked to donate my kidney and step up as his niece. When I started that journey, I was borderline obese, had high blood pressure, and my liver numbers weren't ideal. I had to lose about 10 lbs as the doctor suggested and become more proactive with my health. I have lost about 35 pounds since and am healthier than I have been since high-school. To me, fitness and healthy eating habits are a lifestyle and are crucial to living an optimal life.

I learn something new everyday and plus its awesome to see the benefits of working out, both physically and health-wise.
