It took receiving a Stage III Colon Cancer diagnosis at age 29, and beginning chemotherapy, for me to FINALLY make my health a priority.
By then, I was 20 pounds underweight. Chronically fatigued and emotionally exhausted.
Even after my surgeon explained the severity of my cancer diagnosis, just six months from terminal, I STILL didn't think about exercise.
About a week before I was scheduled to begin chemotherapy, I met with an Oncology nurse/counselor at the hospital. She went over adverse reactions, possible setbacks, side effects and what to expect during treatment.
Her words echo in my mind to this day, "Once you begin treatment, there's a great chance you're going to lose more weight and muscle mass."
In that moment, something clicked and I knew if I didn't get stronger, FAST, chemo was going to kill me.
In that moment I decided to take back my power and start exercising.
My passion to help others stems from my own journey of health and fitness.
Don't wait for your health to deteriorate before taking back control of your life. If it has already, it's still not too late. I'm living proof of what can be achieved with the right mindset and dedication.
If I can, YOU can too!
