Krave Fit #4

was busy, I traded in my gym time “forApril doctor’s appointments and I had my tumor removed. My doctor was able to remove all of the cancer.” that no matter how hard I trained or how clean I ate, I wouldn’t see changes in my body like before. I was ok with that.June was my 1st chemotherapy treatment. I have had two other chemotherapy treatments thus far and they’ve been just as successful as the first one. Before this journey, fitness was just something that I loved doing because of the feeling and results that it produced. Now I know it’s so much more. I thought I was preparing for competitions, but all the while God was preparing me for this journey. I’ve always preached and will continue to preach to others that working out and eating healthy are not just to look good, it’s to be healthy on the inside and to ensure that you are around longer for your friends and family, to see them grow. Though I am not able to train like I did before, I’m so blessed that God gave me the dedication and passion to pursue something that would help me for the rest of my life. A daughter, sister, personal trainer, an athlete, and at 30 years old, I am now a breast cancer survivor. Yes, a survivor!

I may never know how or where the cancer originated from. I’m blessed to know that I was planning for this moment all along with my passion for fitness and staying healthy.

I’m looking forward to training again. Cancer has no age limit. Though you may not be able to stop breast cancer from arising, there are things, such as exercise, that can be done to help make someone’s journey a little bit easier. Every person’s journey is different. I hope that my light shines through each time I share my story. Cancer does not mean the end of the world; it’s just a slight detour that God has planned.
