About Me
I am a former competitive bodybuilder, who first began weight training in her early 40s from obesity. I lost 106 pounds and went on to do 6 competitions, with many 1st place wins. I experienced severe stress in the last 2 years and put on 70 pounds; I am ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated by my appearance and my health, because I know better than to let this have happened. At the same time, I made the choice and I new the consequences. Now, I choose to reverse the damage I have done, and keep it off once and for all.

Hey Girlie, how goze it? Hadn't talked to u in a while & I see ur still keeping up the good work. I've been off the wagon & just now starting back up. I have some motivation now. I'm usually pretty sad since my twins left home, but my daughter came back home in August and I'm also hosting an international exchange student (Ana/Brazil) and she is a jewel.I love her to death, she has also been here since August. Needless to say once u leave it's hard to come back & my daughter left again in anger, bc we butt heads. But on a good note Ana won't let me drop off into depression. Ana (15) has been in ballet since 3 and has been in the jr olympics and is very athletic & she has been forcing me to get out walking daily & yesterday she got me to the gym, so she is highly motivational, so maybe I'll get something accomplished while she is here.
