There are several events that lead me to competing. It's something I always wanted to do but never committed to. The combination of being at my heaviest weight (~170lbs!) embarrassed that I had become one of those trainers and news that my husband was getting ready to leave for a year deployment was the final straw for me! I knew I would either continue to put on the weight or I could make the decision to get in the best shape of my life!

Why wouldn't I?!? :) I LOVE everything about it. The way I feel and look are the main reasons. The only bad day I have is one where I cannot get a workout in.. and those days are RARE!
