My WHY (reason) goes way back. I grew up with both parents being addicts. I was in and out of the juvenile system. Long story short I became an addict also.
By the time I was 17 I had given birth to two sons but still a full blown addict.
When I was 20 I was pregnant with my third son and decided it was time to start fighting and creating a new life.
By the Grace of God I received custody back of my two oldest sons and stayed in treatment for two years, with all three of my sons.
Life was good, got my own house, went back to school, met a guy, got renewed in my walk with God. better than I have ever known and was living life better than I ever known.
2011 I got married. In 2012 We found out I was pregnant as I was going back to school to become a Nurse. Which was a complete shock because my tubes were tied in 2010.
So nursing school and being pregnant, I blew up! It was very unhealthy, I was very upset in my own skin and I was tired all the time. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired! Plus I knew I wanted to do things different with this child. I wanted her to had the healthiest life possible.
So I reached out to a friend in nursing school, who is also a health and fitness coach. So I started my health and fitness journey in Feb 2013 and I’ll never look back. Since then my life has completely changed, literally.
Everything about me changed my mental clarity, my physical appearance, I felt empowered as a women and mother.
