I'm Bringin' Sexy Back

"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are, for what you could become."

My name is Danielle. I'm 23 years old and I am an athlete. I may not have my ideal body yet, but I am so proud of what I am capable of. I'm on this journey because I love myself and I want to live a long, happy life. I will succeed and I will do whatever it takes to get there.

My name is Danielle. I'm 23 years old and I am an athlete. I may not have my ideal body yet, but I am so proud of what I am capable of. I'm on this journey because I love myself and I want to live a long, happy life. I will succeed and I will do whatever it takes to get there.

~~~~
I know that all of you can reach your goals...that you can surpass your expectations for yourself. Every time it starts to get hard...every time you want to give up. I hope that you can tap into your inner strength. That inner strength I KNOW you possess to get you through. And if you ever need me, I am here for you. We're in this together until we reach the top.

~~My Mantras~~
The First 2 Rules of Self-Improvement:
#1 - It will be difficult.
#2 - It will be worth it.

~ Training Smart is more important than Training Hard

~ Nothing tastes as good as Sexy feels

"Run the first mile with your legs, the second mile with your mind and the third mile with your heart."

"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit."

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." ~ Aristotle

"You must think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be." ~ David Viscott

"You've got to say, I think if I keep working at this and want it bad enough, I can have it. It's call perseverance." ~ Lee Iacocca

"The first and best victory is to conquer self." ~ Plato

That's a great program. I didn't know you were a science major. My undergrad major was Bio. I took a detour with my Masters but hoping to go back in the fall. Best wishes with your interviews!
