Little bit about me!

Hi everyone,

Just a little about myself, I am a fitness competitor and personal trainer. I also live a primal lifestyle.

My journey to fitness has been a long one.  Five years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  I was always healthy, energetic and lived and athletic lifestyle.  This threw me for a whirl wind! I received many radiation treatments. Needless to say it took a long time for me to feel "normal" again.

Due to this disease I gained almost 40 pounds.  I was not over weight by health care standards, but not confident in myself. My doctors told me that it was all a side effect of not having a thyroid. I was bound and determined to prove them wrong.  It was 2 years ago I vowed to get myself back in shape and healthy again.  I began slowly by taking gyrotonics classes and built my way up to weight lifting and endurance training.

It wasn't until I last fall that I really felt like I was back! I gained the confidence back I had lost, and competed in 2 figure competitions, placing 3rd in the first and 2nd in the next.  Having the guts to get on stage was enough for me, but to even place, I was on top of the world.  About 1 month after competing I had a body scan and November 2012 I was told I was cancer free! I can honestly say that fitness and a primal lifestyle has made me a better person. And proved to my doctors that anything is possible.

My mission with this blog is to motivate everyone and show you that living a primal life isn't a diet. It's a wonderful lifestyle change! I plan on posting recipes I love and exercises that will help you be beautifully primal!
