When you are on a strict and structured eating plan (and/or with someone who is!), it forces you to take the focus of Thanksgiving being all about food and more so about what the holiday really represents and being thankful for what we have.  This year has been amazing for me and quite surreal at times. It started off with me making a big U-Turn in life and grabbing life by the horns; some scary but necessary decisions. I got sponsorship early on, had one incredible man advocating, supporting and encouraging me. He believed in me from the moment he saw and met me and never stops dreaming for me and for us. Yes, I am talking about my man and the love of my life, jphilips17 I went on to have 3 top finishes at 3 big shows this year; the final show resulting in a pro card! Surreal, so surreal. I was blessed to be in Oxygen Magazine 4 different issues and Maximum Fitness for Men once.  That first shoot in Toronto I’ll never forget, because it was my man that sacrificed so much for me to be there, although I didn’t know this until later…the whole experience brought tears of happiness to me. I moved 3,000 miles away to pursue a dream, to pursue my career where I knew I would thrive…where we knew WE would thrive. I am living my dream…thank God for giving me drive and passion and for never giving up. Thank God I took some risks this year and didn’t just choose to live "safely".  I am so thank ful for my friends, for real and true friends that will support you and be behind you no matter what…for those friends that are genuinely happy for all of my successes this year, and that have made me laugh
