After having my daughter in 2015, I found myself eating and drinking my way through a few years. I no longer recognized myself and decided I had enough.

     I stepped back into the gym and slowly made lifestyle changes. I was down approximately 60 pounds in 2021 when I unexpectedly lost my husband to controllable health issues leaving me with two kids to raise on my own. It was time to level up and take things seriously.

     I hired a macro coach and enrolled on a weight training app. I reached a point where I needed more help and started training in person. I decided then that I wanted to push myself to see how far I could go.

     It’s been a year and a rough one at that. A couple of months into the new training program I lost my mom. Something I wasn’t prepared for. It’s been a long road full of events I could have used as excuses. But instead used it as fuel to keep going.
