“At the end of the day it’s how you feel about yourself and if you like/love yourself or not. THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS!”

 

“I feel most women avoid this exercise (bench press) because they think your boobs will turn into muscle? This has to be one of the biggest myths in bodybuilding for women. Now if you are at a very low body fat they do tend to get smaller. But honestly I’ve always incorporated this exercise for years and I really feel it’s why I’ve kept a good breast size even at very low weight being able to build the muscle underneath.”

“The day I stopped caring what other people thought about me and started caring about what I thought about myself is the day I truly started living and accomplishing all of my dreams and beyond!”

“People ask me how I got to where I am today in the fitness industry. My answer, put simply: I followed my passion and stayed true to myself. I stayed on the course of my heart. Sure there were plenty of obstacles but I chose to overcome them.

It was a choice to KEEP GOING OR GIVE UP.”

“What I am trying to say is that no matter what it is you are passionate about, stay true to you! Don’t follow what everyone else is doing! DO YOU! My favorite quote I live by is, “Follow your passion and success will follow you.” Not follow everyone else and success will follow you. Don’t get it twisted!”

“I am human. I do make mistakes and I am not motivated all of the time and THAT’S OK.”

“Most of the time viewers see fitness accounts on social media and think we are just super motivated and driven all the time and that is FALSE.”

“We too have our breakdowns our days that we don’t won’t be in the gym. So don’t feel bad if there is a day or a week that goes by that you are not motivated or you are too tired to go to the gym because that is called LIFE. Why is it so rare to be natural in an industry that is suppose to be about promoting health? It saddens me honestly. When I started my journey as a competitor I did it because it helped me have structure goals and restrictions which taught me discipline. I learned very early on the truth of the industry and the type of drugs that were taken to look a certain way.”

“I wanted to be that example that you CAN achieve your dream physique without any of the BS.”

“I learned at a young age that giving up was never an option for me because I didn’t have anything to fall back on financially or emotionally. Hard work became normal to me and I didn’t and don’t know any different. I only know how to move forward in life.”

“YES life will throw at you everything it can to knock you down. But it’s ok we have to get knocked down in order to become stronger and become GREATER.”

“I was never successful my first try well probably my my first hundred tries lol but I always MOVED FORWARD! People think that it gets easier for me to maintain a physique like this but guess what it doesn’t! I only get stronger! I have cravings and want to eat all sorts of bad stuff but I CHOOSE not to because I have goals and will keep my discipline and consistency NO MATTER WHAT! I CHOOSE to win my mental battle everyday! What about you!?”
