Hello all,

I am a 23 year old college student for nursing. I am a total fitness junkie =) I have been somewhat fit all my life doing high-school sports. Recently, in the past two years I have had the privilege of learning how to lift weights and IT CHANGED MY LIFE! I have not become big and bulky like most women think you will if you lift weights.

Some things I have learned is DIET! I have been lifting weights and eating generally healthy for the past two years, but have a big sweet tooth. In the past month (Jan2013) I researched the proper diet to build muscle and have stuck to it like glue, and OH MY GOSH, how that has changed my body.

So combining a proper diet with the right kind of exercise to achieve the goals you want is imperative. A person trying to build muscle is not going to eat the same as a runner.

Some hobbies I enjoy tat don't include fitness is playing my violin and collecting rare/old monies from the United States and from other countries =) I am a total nerd for Harry Potter and my two cat's names are Ron and Hermynii! I also am a geek for pokemon. I have my own gameboy with my pokemon game =)

I have 6 sisters no brothers. I am the second to youngest. I went to college the summer after graduating from high-school and have been in ever since and am waiting to have the opportunity to get into nursing school.

I have a lot of fitness knowledge but am constantly learning and asking questions on a daily basis as well. I have a wonderful support team who is constantly educating me and pushing me to be the best.

If you have any question please ask and I hope to inspire some of you to live a healthy and happy life!
