As my 21st birthday approaches, I have been thinking about how much has changed in the last year. 365 days ago I was only 20 years old.
365 days ago, I was dancing professionally with a ballet company in Denver, and even though I was living my dream…I was miserable. The ballet mistress of the company harassed me about my weight (even though I was underweight). I barley ate, and exercised intensely (more than five times a day).
The Picture above was a few days after my 20th birthday, performing with my company
365 days ago, I was getting over a breakup. I was so upset that this boy broke my heart…
365 days ago, I overdosed on weight management pills, laxatives, and sleep medications
365 days ago, I had no family and little friends
365 days ago….I was miserable!
I thought my life was perfect 365 days ago, until I hit rock bottom about a month after I turned 20. I was so upset that my life had fallen apart. I had no money, no friends, and no career. I thought nothing could get better.

365 days after my 20th birthday, I am turning 21 and my life has changed completely!
1. I am on new path; I am studying kinesiology and hoping to (in the near future) get my personal training certification and Crossfit level 1 trainer certification! I now know that stronger is better than thinner!
2. I am married to the man of my dreams! (And the boy who broke my heart, I look back now and think, …”Why did I even date him in the first place?”)
3. I am healthy! Crossfit and Zumba are my two new favorite things…two sports. The best part about Crossfit and Zumba is the wonderful community, and NO ONE is telling me how I have to look
4. I have my family back and my old friends back! I also have made a lot of new friends
5. I am happier than happy!
So much can change in a year. I cannot believe how much has changed in my life, and I cannot believe how much I have changed too! I am so happy with all of these wonderful changes! Looking forward to see all the changes that my 21st year brings!
