New Month means it’s an opportunity to set new goals for yourself .

I remember exactly 7 years ago around this time December 2017 I vowed to myself that I would give myself the gift of longevity.

I was diagnosed with PCOS at the young age of 14 . In my later years while neglecting my heath I had also developed a fatty liver , high triglycerides, high blood pressure , high cholesterol & I was borderline line diabetic. That was not a life I wanted to live anymore being overweight , fatigued all the time , on prescription medication for all those ailments but most of all I felt very sad & alone . I had had enough & I stopped pitting myself . I knew I needed to make a change & only I can do it for myself . So I started then & their no excuses .The holidays were coming and I could have said I’ll wait until Jan 1 , 2018 but I told myself NO there will always be temptation and celebrations to derail you . So I changed my mindset quickly and taught myself that it’s all about learning how to eat intuitively and feeding your body properly to stay full and satiated .

So my journey began Dec 2017 . I learned that to loose weight I needed to eat in a calorie deficit . So I slowly started to apply that daily . Then I started to wake up at 5am everyday and got in the gym to start putting in that work . I began journaling, practicing gratitude & meditating daily . Things became clearer as the days , months , years passed .

Fast forward to today 7 years into my heath journey , I’ve lost 105lbs and kept it off most importantly . I continue to build muscle daily while getting stronger . But the best part of it all is that with all my hard work , consistency & discipline I was able to reverse my PCOS , high triglycerides, high blood pressure , high cholesterol, my borderline line diabetes and I no longer take prescription meds .

I gave myself the best gift of all that day when I made that decision to put myself first . I gave myself the gift of longevity .

Through this whole process I’ve realized that my vocation in this world is to help others as well . If you can resonate with my story or feel like you’re in a similar situation and don’t know where to start , LET ME HELP YOU 🙏🏽

New Certified Personal Trainer 💪🏽🏋🏻‍♀️

I don’t even know where to begin . As most of you know and have witnessed over the course of 7 years on my weight loss & fitness journey that I have lost 105lbs & have kept it off all while sculpting my body to increase my muscle mass & add definition . I still have ways to go but I’m proud of my work ethic & mindset to date .

Over the years I went through many trials & tribulations which could have easily thrown me off track several times , but I rolled with the punches . The one thing that kept me grounded was being consistent in the gym.

I’ve had a passion for fitness /nutrition for a while now & this past year I decided to take that leap of faith and enroll in a program and go after what I love most all while working a full time corporate job . A big part of my decision to finally pursue my dream is thanks to my coach .with.j . He’s always pushed me to be one of the hardest working trainees in the room , and would often tell me to get my certification as he saw the spark in me when I didn’t . So thank you Jay for believing in me and always encouraging me to reach for my goals . I definitely wouldn’t be here today without you & the firefit fam 🫶🏽

I am grateful for every up & down I have faced to get to this very moment . I am extremely proud of myself to have taken this step and finally crossed the finish line . I know the real work starts now and I couldn’t be more excited for this new journey that awaits me . I will continue to invest into my craft and knowledge as this industry is forever evolving .

I never knew what my vocation in life was until I found fitness . I now know that I am here to help men and women who want to love themselves mentally and physically. I want to help others feel confident in their own skin . I want to provide others with longevity and sustainable lives . So if that resonates with you or feel free to contact me .

A big shout out to and for this absolutely insightful & knowledgeable course . I highly recommend .academy if you are looking to enroll into a course . You won’t regret it .

Cheers 🥂
