Hello! Welcome to Ghana Muscle's Her page where you'll join my journey in pursuing a fit and fulfilling life. My fitness journey began two years ago with a New Year's Resolution to lose a few pounds. I found myself feeling a little heavier than I was used to, binge watching all of my favorite TV shows, drinking a little too much, and  feeling trapped in toxic relationships. I got comfortable with the way my life was going even though I didn't feel very good physically and emotionally.

I remember going to Planet Fitness for the first time with my two friends walking in clueless. But, it was the beginning of a path that has led me to a place I could never have imagined. The gym can be such an intimidating place especially for an introvert like myself. For some guidance, I turned to social media looking for workout and healthy eating ideas. I found some of the screenshots I saved at that time. 

Although the information I was looking at that time may not have been the most reliable, it got me started on this journey. Above you can see my Christmas picture with my son where I didn't realize how inflamed I was.

On January 15, 2015, I took my first progress picture. I wasn't really sure what to do next but I was open to learning and trying anything and everything to feel better about myself.

I can't believe how far I've come from the picture above. I am more confident today than ever, I was even covering my face in this picture ! Follow my journey as I juggle family life, working full time, and prepping for my first NPC competition.
