My passion for health and fitness is fuelled by my desire to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday. When I started my fitness journey in August of 2024 I was 192 pounds and not as healthy as I should have been. I remember being on the stair master and it said something along the lines of this is the first step to the rest of your life, that stuck with me. I love to push myself and hit PRs often It also helps to have a partner who shares the same goals and helps push you through too.

I get up around 3 daily and I am in the gym for 4 am. I have structured days in which I have a pull day a push day and my leg days. I incorporate stretching now and do not do much cardio anymore as I am a teacher and when I’m working I do walk 16000-22000 steps. Therefore I think my favorite way to train and stay fit is through consistency and waking up excited to get to the gym. Having the mentality I get to go to the gym opposed to I have to go to the gym makes a difference … it’s a mindset.

Honestly $20,000 would be amazing for me as it would give me a chance to pay off student loans, credit cards, etc and I would make myself go on a trip lol I have never done much of anything for myself as I’ve been a mom since I was 19 and now that my three daughters are growing up I’m learning how to live a life for me too. No one talks about how different life was and becomes. I’m 44 and I have never even gotten a pedicure or manicure because I’ve always been so invested in my daughter’s needs.
