The purpose of this blog was to journal my life and experiences as I prepared for a Women's Figure Competition. With the competition over and as I shout from the rooftops how much I love my new healthy lifestyle and body, I am living life with the purpose to maintain my health and to support others around me to reach their health and fitness goals!

The exercise and nutrition plans discussed in this blog are not intended for others to follow, copy or duplicate. They are specifically designed for my body, my goals and my abilities.

I hold an AAAI certification in Health and Fitness Personal Trainining, my focus will be to work with children and teens. I would be more than happy to help with family meal planning and exercise plans.

Be Healthy. Be Great. Be you!
