Why I Got Started

My place of employment held a health assessment day - They ran our body fat and cholesterol numbers. I was shocked when they handed me my numbers. I thought, are you sure this is me? I was training in the gym every day, but I was still nowhere near where I thought I should be. I felt that despite all of my efforts I did not even LOOK like I worked out in a gym.

How I Did It

I wanted to hire a trainer but being a single mother I knew that was not an option. I heard about Bodybuilding.com and that's where it all started. I began reading articles on nutrition, supplements and workout plans. WOW!! Once I started following a clean diet and supplements, it came all together with in a few weeks.

My cardio is always done in the morning before meal one. I either do 45 minutes on the treadmill at a 10%-15% incline at a speed of 3.0-3.5 or HIT training on the treadmill for 20.

I became a single mom very early in life. From that time, I knew that my number one responsibility was my daughter. I worked my way up in the finance world from an entry level teller to assistant manager and the top producer in the company. The hard work paid off and I was able to provide a wonderful life for my daughter and me.

I am at a point now, however, with my daughter in high school and looking toward college to make some changes in my life; changes that I wasn't able to make until now. My heart and soul have always been in Health and Fitness. I am now at a point in my life where I can follow my heart and pursue those goals that I previously had to set aside.

It is my hope that eventually I will be able to help guide other women onto the path that I have found; to show them that it is possible to have a career and a family and still achieve the fitness goals they desire. Thank you Bodybuilding.com!

An Extra Thank You!

I can't forgot to mention two people that really helped me along the way: Tony Claiborne helped me with my training as much as he could and Ann Claiborne helped me with my diet!
