There was a period in my life when I exercised twice a day. Not knowing what trials might come my way. God was preparing my body for what was to come. 2013 I walked into a health facility a healthy woman but leaving in an unresponsive state. One injection changed my life. I flatlined, no oxygen to the brain for about 9 minutes, suffered 3 seizures, flatlined for the second time, was in a coma for 5 days and in the hospital for 2 weeks. But for the grace of God. Thank God my heart was healthy and strong because of eating properly and staying fit, I did  not end up a vegetable.

 

I was literally in pampers with a decapitor in me. I had to learn how to walk again because my body was so weak at the time. It's amazing what muscle memory can do. As I started lifting small weights I slowly regained my strength. I was able to recover in full force hitting the bodybuilding stage one year later.

 

I always believed that mind over matter. I went to a bodybuilding show and I looked at the girls on stage and said to myself I can do that. It was game time. I changed my diet . Not just to prepare for competition but also for health reasons. What ever you put in your body can actually put you in the hospital or keep you out the hospital. Because I had lost so much weight being in the hospital, I had to now build my body up just to hit the stage. For someone with a small genetics, it is actually harder for them to keep on weight than for someone who is heavy set to lose weight. It was not easy but it was all worth it. I did my first competition within a year and won my very first title. From then to now I have been competing and devoting myself to a healthy lifestyle.

 

We must help the body along to live a long and healthy life for however long we are placed on this earth. So become a FitnessGeek with me and let's get the job done.
