Reflecting on my fitness journey, it’s hard to believe how far I’ve come. This all began as a quest for self-improvement and a desire to lead a healthier, more active life. At 275 pounds, I found myself trapped in a cycle of being self-conscious, sluggish, and depressed. I was unable to fully embrace life’s vibrant moments. I knew a change had to be made and that change started with me. And so, I started taking care of my physical health, which positively impacted my mental and emotional well-being. As I continued my fitness journey, I also began paying closer attention to my nutrition. I learned about the importance of fueling my body with the right foods to support my workouts and recovery.​ It took me over 2 years but through sweat and countless challenges, I was able to shed an incredible 100 pounds.

 

No longer held back by self-doubt, I was able to experience adventures I never thought possible. Going sky diving, white water rafting, hiking various mountains, and exploring new cities; were only the beginning of this newfound lifestyle. With each step, I shattered the limitations of my past self, rewriting my story with courage and spontaneity.  

 

This journey inspired me to start A.M. Wellness Club to help others break free from their own

self-doubts, to embrace their inner strength, and to live life with relentless passion and purpose.

So, to anyone out there who feels stuck, hopeless, or weighed down by the challenges of their

own journey, I say this: never give up. Believe in yourself, trust in your strength, and know that with perseverance and determination, anything is possible. Keep pushing forward until you unlock

your full potential.
