Everyone has their own special story about how they got involved in health and fitness. Could you tell us a little bit about your story and how you started your fitness and health journey? Absolutely! It all started with my family. My family is very athletic and extremely competitive. All through high school and college I was on dance teams and was a competitive cheerleader. In my freshman year of college, I was constantly tired, I was eating very unhealthy, partying a lot, always getting sick and battling insecurities about my body from people telling me I was too skinny. Everyone has their own personal challenges when it comes to their body and fitness, and mine was gaining weight and putting on muscle. The real start of what got me started on my fitness journey was when I decided to take on a transformation challenge which included being on a very strict diet and weight training for the first time in my life. Although a lot of my friends doubted me, my competitive nature took over and my transformation was drastic! I could see my abs for the first time ever and built a new level of confidence I did not have before. After posting pictures of my transformation, many women started reaching out asking what I was doing to achieve my results. This inspired me to continue my fitness journey and take it even further. I finally felt confident about myself on the outside and in turn, it made me love myself even more on the inside!
