I am a former semi pro athlete but when I was 19 I was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis, Scoliosis and a connective tissue disease and was forced to retire from my sport. I focused on my degree and was weight training sporadically and lost a lot of the tone and definition I had. So, here I am (almost) 23, graduated, in a full time job in a bank and ready to kick my body into shape!!

I am in pain every single day and refuse to take pain killers and succumb to the pain. I love lifting because I love the burn and the aches, knowing that you've worked hard and that I'm pushing my body as hard as it can go, getting stronger and stronger each day. In my mind, the stronger my body is, the harder it is for my illness to break it.
