Always stayed fit, but started lifting in 2000 after a bone thinning diagnosis...which was reversed by lifting...back to normal. Had the best trainer I could have possibly found..PHIL GRECO (veteran body builder/trainer from Venice, CA; met in FL and he changed my body and life! Thanks Phil!!!)...did everything he taught me in and out of the gym...it's not just about lifting!
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel and look the best I can possibly be! And, talk about keeping you young (in more ways than one)...unless you go foolish with buying into propaganda and do silly things like turning yourself into a freakazoid...it is the bomb!!! Who can resist looking and feeling this great? Gotta love it! A challenge for life...not just a show.
How I Stay Motivated:
Getting Naked every morning and night and taking a look! Who needs scales? See me, feel me, touch me...just like the song says!
But always remember this:
"The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul."
Stay beautiful inside always and forever!
BB Accomplishments:
Overcoming osteopenia, changing the entire shape of every body part, and avoiding neck surgery (three herniated discs in the neck with a warning of losing function of both arms with a rod put in my neck...OH YEAH DR...I've learned the mantra "If you Believe You can Achieve!" And that goes for everything in life.
On top of this I'm actually modeling at 51...how cool is that? :)

Increasing muscle mass and definition...losing body fat. Can you notice?
ok, don't laugh..this was such a fun shoot but I can't post the others due to my nature to not wearing much in artistic photography...but my art site is being worked on as we speak...can't believe i'll be 53 soon...wtf??? lol

Goal (Long):
My goals are to keep myself strong both physically and mentally and to live each day as if it were my last!
I am working on building my portfolio for body painting, so if anyone would like to model for me, I have access to a very good photographer to do a shoot after I am done with you! ;) That sounds funny doesn't it! This IS going to be a fun business...i cannot deny that.
I had to post this blog due to my last avi being removed within 5 min of posting it. I had been body painted with half my upper torso's skin removed to reveal the muscles. I am wearing nipple shields required as to not expose the nipples to the public and the nipples you see in the photo...
I haven't been to florida since '97. I have been thinking about checking out miami since everyone who goes there raves about it and I have never been to that part of florida before.
Ya gotta have clothes on I guess. I do love this avi though, would love to see the other pics. How is Fla treating you? Hope all is going well for you out there! My big news....I'm going to compete in March...aaahhh, I sometimes think I'm crazy to do it, but its now or never! Lookin' good, girl! Keep in touch.
Awesome! Yeah, so many different schools of thought on this. Those that say fruit is good and those that say it's bad. Great to hear the fruit is working so good for you!
