In Chicago, at age 6 I took my first gymnastics class. I fell in love. I attended a gym where they were training girls for the Olympics. Around age 9 I stopped using equipment (the uneven bars, the vault, and beam) and focused mostly on floor exercises. I loved the control I had over my body. I was flexible and strong enough make my body do whatever I wanted it to do.

At 13 my family moved to Mississippi. My mom found me a gym but it wasn't as great as my old one. I became a cheerleader on my high school competitive squad and made the most of my cheering years. But it stopped there. To be a cheerleader at my college you had to be a "flyer," and I was always a base. So ended my cheerleading career. I gained the Freshman 15, 20, 25...and I haven't stopped since.

My weight issues have been a direct result of my love of fast food and my disdain for exercise. I am, however, making a lot of personal changes for the new year. Being healthier and exercising more often are now high priority on the list. I'm excited to "Push Play" everyday and witness the changes my body makes. I know it'll take a long while to get back into tumbling shape, but just having the option is so exciting.
