The main goal in starting to write was to reach more people about things I'm passionate about. I've always felt that in some way I could make a difference in this world. Working out and sharing health related goals, keeping people motivated, giving advice... that's always been my thing. As with anything else, after a while, one starts to wonder the purpose or the WHY behind it all.
I competed in a bikini competition 2 years ago and I think that's when it hit me. WHY am I doing this? WHY am I constantly keeping pressure on myself? To who's benefit is all of this? In other words, I burnt out. When you grow up in a gym with a fitness/bodybuilding oriented family your entire life, you could go either way as an adult. I chose the lean/strict route my entire life. Well, maybe I veered some as a teenager, but who doesn't? After the competition I fell off the "healthy" wagon. I started eating more of whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Realizing that between the two extremes was a healthy balance that I was aching for, but there was still something there I felt a pull towards.
So that brings us here. They say once you've gone thru a life changing experience you're never the same. I can vouch for that. I decided to pursue more important things in life. I began to value balance more than all else. It's been a slow and steady effort, but I'm getting there. And I decided to take you all along for the ride. Thanks for listening.
