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? :)

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.
Lots of reasons....he is gorgeous...he doesn't care what # he rates on the calendar, he walks the talk, he helps and motivates others from all backgrounds....and he is relentless in his quest! Huge hugs to you and wish I could do it in person!!!

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 just stopped by to wish you nothing but success as you work towards your fitness goal. Too many people think it can’t be done and so they don't even try but you are proving that with hard work and dedication it can be. Keep up the great work. I look forward to watching your continuing progress. You are a great inspiration to so many others.
Hey Sweetie, how's it going on that side of the country.... Pretty WET over here. I'll have to Smack Yancy for not answering you. Train hard and have a great week...
Elaine! As someone who is a strong and a positive spirit, your presence is certainly appreciated by the many you have taken the time to get to know here. Just knowing you took the time to stop by and not just say hello but talk to me, or better put with me, is enough to make me appreciate the day in a whole new light. Anyone who can do that is certainly doing something right! Besides being the quintessential pinup girl is a lost art. In that respect you are my go to artist!
OK Sweetie, here you go. yancywright.com
that will take you to his webpage & give you his art run down. There's also a contact on that page. You'll probably have to contact him on the bodypaint stuff.
Enjoy the weekend. I'll I've got today is cardio, so I'm breezin'....
This photo was part of a shoot from last Christmas. I am competing in a Raw Powerlifting Meet at the Arnolds Fitness Weekend next March, and then it is time to rip it back up!
