My drive to continue to live a better life for me and my family. Being able to do simple tasks without it feeling like a marathon. Fitness and health isn’t really taught much and it’s important to educate others why we should stay active and fuel our bodies properly. Being the best and healthiest version of me so I can live the life I deserve. We only get one life.

I’m super big into lifting weights. It’s my dream to win body building competitions. While I love lifting weights I also create high protein recipes of the foods I enjoyed when I was bigger. Doing this helps me stay focused in not just with my diet but also the gym. I feel in love with the gym, but keep reminding myself how far I’ve come keeps me going.

I suffer from so much extra skin after losing over 430lbs. It’s prevented me from having a good range of motion, fitting into smaller sizes, it’s painful, but more than ever my self imagine. I work extremely hard everyday to make sure I’m healthy. I would love to see my results with getting my skin professionally removed so I can see all of my progress. Problem is it’s very expensive and I can not afford it.
