About Me:

My name is Brooke and I'm 26 years old. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Brad. I also have one AMAZINGLY beautiful daughter named, Bella Mae (she's a child model worldwide). I've been super blessed with an amazing family and business. Speaking of business...I own my own. I'm a photographer/boutique owner in our area. My life is devoted to my family and business, you'll find it's all I ever talk about. Not only do I love my family, photography, and fashion; I love my friends, and have many other hobbies including: blogging, beauty pageants, reading, cooking, cleaning, cosmetology, sewing, and enjoying the occasional glass of wine. You can see that my life stays pretty busy. My family and I travel constantly taking leisure trips and going places pursuing my daughter's career in modeling. You could say that I live the dream, and I won't argue. I love my life and I know that I'm extremely blessed. I thank God for my many blessings daily.

Why I Want To Get In Shape:

My entire life growing up, I never once struggled to stay "thin". I was very active in cheerleading, among other sports growing up. When I got into high school, I began participating in beauty pageants and competitive cheerleading/gymnastics. Working out and staying fit was always a major part of my life, considering I was at a gym daily.
When I graduated from high school, the need to work out and stay fit stopped. Yes, I still was healthy, continued to keep in shape, but my metabolism slowly drastically causing me to gain some unwanted weight. At college I was at my heaviest and when I moved back to my hometown, I began eating healthy, working out, and got my high school figure back fairly quickly.
After moving home to live with my parents after being in a horrible "relationship", I quickly gained weight and soon became the heaviest that I had ever been. Lots of changes began, and I moved down to Arkansas to pursue my relationship with my husband. I attended cosmetology school, graduated, and got my cosmetology license. Then, Brad and I got married (after 6 years of dating on and off) and we quickly started our family. My pregnancy wasn't the "dream" pregnancy that I was hoping for and I continued gaining weight throughout it and after I had my daughter.
I now stand before you at my heaviest. I know that it's time to change my eating habits, my work out habits, and my lifestyle habits. There is no turning back. I'm doing this for myself, and no one else. I want to feel good about myself again. I want to be as confident as I once was in my appearance. I will achieve my goal weight, and I will do it healthily and steadily. Hop on, you're in for a WILD ride.
