Welcome to my world and follow me on  my path to wellness and fitness. My journey began five years ago. I was not a great picture of health despite my skinny appearance. I consumed chocolate bars and soda daily with no regard of the consequences. I exercised sporadically with no goal or real purpose and I had a body I felt was too thin and lacking of strength.

I decided to make a change for the better as I was preparing to enter physical therapy school. This desire was based on  wanting to set a healthy example for my patients and wanting to be able to perform all the physical requirements that the profession demands. So I began setting goals for myself.

In order to reach my goals I knew I had to drastically change my eating habits, exercise regularly and set obtainable benchmarks for each of these aspects. Knowing that if I made a quick switch I would be tempted to fall back to my old ways I decided to gradually phase out the junk food, limiting that type of food to just one day a week, a rule I still follow even to this day. In addition, I began scheduling my workouts, planning out the routines ahead of time so that I was efficient and could get the most out of my time at the gym.
