Down from a top weight of nearly 300...
My mother passed away June 2006 at the age of 54 from metastacized breast cancer. I felt helpless, but she wasn't strong enough for her body to take the treatment... I also learned about many of the factors increasing my own risk for breast cancer.
Out of all of them, there was one I could control. My physical fitness. And I decided to take control of that - while training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day, a 60-mile walk and fundraiser.
Now that I've finished the walk, I've made exercise a permanent part of my life. I'm eager to see where I can take my body, and how the changes will unfold as I lift heavy and eat smart.
Why I Love It:
I love feeling my body. I love using it. I love pushing myself. And I enjoy the energy I have after a workout.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
I am losing weight, and have lost over 30 pounds in the last few months, while gaining muscle.
Never giving up on getting fit - no matter how long the road.
Goal (Long):
Looking to get to around 20% body fat. I love the strength and femininity of Anja Langer, and am completely amazed by Leila Ali. In fact, if I could get the level of muscularity and the bodyfat level Leila had on Dancing with the stars, I'd be very happy.
I want to look strong and sexy in a bikini, be able to do chin-ups, and be in good health, so that I can live to be an old lady one day... something my mother didn't get to do.
