Hola!  I have started a blog before, but this time I want to keep it up.  I want to keep myself accountable, and I feel like I have a lot of information to share about health and wellness.  I will try my best to not offend anyone, but I apologize now if I do.

I am a fitness and gym-a-holic.  It's what I enjoy.  I am currently a little over 13 weeks out from my next bikini competition.  I have done two before, and they're quite addicting.  It's those type where I walk on stage in 5 inch heels and a very skimpy bikini and pose.  People ask...why!?  It's a RUSH!!!!! This one will be a little different, as I am going to have a 90% vegan diet.  I want to prove that this can be done on the stage and a "normal" bodybuilder's diet (chicken, tilapia, asparagus, brown rice, etc.) is not the only way to success.  I do not eat meat (yes, that includes fish too), and I stay away from as much dairy as possible.  My only animal bi-products would be in my supplements, which I will discuss throughout future blog posts.  This is for introduction only.  :)

Hard work and dedication is what it's all about.  I'm a normal person and I've been through some tough times...I've been 50 pounds heavier at one point, suffered from binge eating, been picked on, and I'm sure more things that I can't even remember right now. 

But when it comes down to it, I'm on a mission to help people.  It's the MOST REWARDING job in the world!  If I can influence and just change one person, it's all worth it!

I love pictures too!  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!
