Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hello!

I'm Minna, nearly 25 years old girl (yep, I think I'm still girl - despite of my age) from Finland. My English is not very good but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

I've been vegan for about two years now. Before that I was something between lacto-ovo vegetarian and vegan for eight years. I'm not 100% vegan. I eat honey sometimes and use wool in my clothing (trying to use recycled or eco). I also have some leather shoes, but they are old and I'm not buying new leather anymore. I don't want to cause any unnecessary harm to any living creature.

I started to go to gym 21 months ago. I'm interested in bodybuilding and I want to gain muscles and strenght. I want to feel healthy and vitality and be satisfied with my bodyform. I also want to prove everyone (and myself) that I can do normal things despite of doctors opinions and my physical condition (I have NF1).

My passion for all this started when I met my boyfriend for over three years ago. Back then he was already training in gym. First I thought that I would never do that myself. But over (short) time something happened in my head and I started to think differently and here I am now. And i feel good an passionate. It is nice that I can share my hobby with person I love most.

Finland! Home of some of the best snowboarders in the world. Someday I need to visit there! Welcome to the community here Minna. You have some strong goals and I like how determined you are despite your condition and what doctors have told you. Perseverance is key!
