I love to have an active lifestyle of skateboarding, motorcycle riding, pole fitness, surfing, and more.
In 2013 diagnosed with immune system cancer, born with autoimmune disorder I knew the day would eventually come. It's a progressively downward disease.
June 2017, finally getting my back and hip RoM back to where is was 2 years ago pre surgery. Still a tough battle but improving! 120# and time to drop some body fat. Definitely have put on some arm and butt muscles!
June 2015 I had three surgeries in a year and a half, two pounds of cancer and tumors removed, down to 110# and edema finally gone to get swelling and reactions / inflammation under control. By Sept. 2015 cellulite waterwaves from edema in legs slowly ebbing off, and I could lift 45#, even though the 6" long torso scar area was painful. (Entire belly was flayed, and every organ lifted and tumors removed from torso in June 2015.) I weighed 113# by Sept. 2015.
By Jan. 2016 I had worked on getting RoM back in my torso by teaching Pilates and slowly working my POS and AOS systems through pole fitness and resistance training! It took 8 months from my final surgery to stop blowing up like a water balloon after every workout, and gaining muscle!
Sept. 2016, getting back into heavy resistance training so that I can continue to gain muscle. My worst nightmare is being skinny, stringy and tiny ever again. When I was really sick, I was crying every night, I was skinny as a rail, with replacement boobs, cancer ridden and getting so many modeling jobs because Cancer made be beautiful.
What a fkn bs lie to the world!
Cancer is not beautiful!
Look at my scars, look at what it did to my body, skinny and frail is NOT beautiful!
So my goal is to stay healthy, prevent any immune system triggers to my lymphoma, and gain muscle!
The discipline, and the fun of being able to move. Lymphoma survivor. Day by day! Cancer sucks but I don't have to.
I hate cult fitness body shamers.... just because you are cut doesn't mean you can have the right to put other people down. And having 12% bodyfat does not make you smarter than everyone else...it means you have great will power, but tells the world nothing about your character. I'm interested in real and beautiful hearts, not bods
I am currently doing modeling and used to be a professional performing artist in theater and later in film. Small time. But when I say professional, I mean I was paid, it was a career, and I owed taxes on my income. No BS. I got into fitness, became a trainer, and moved to a small town feel big city with tons of very rude fitness fanatics. Ended up getting a job at a studio where the business owner is getting on my nerves, and I'm surrounded by skinny Bs who think drinking Vegan Shakes and having 12% body fat is fitness. I left the dance industry because of that mindset... I want to be surrounded by mentally strong and physically healthy individuals, and currently could use the motivation and support to keep this mindset intact.
shouldn't fitness be fun and a lifestyle that makes you healthier?
