I am no stranger to working out from high school sports to military to a law enforcement agency. Adult life, children, relationships, career, took me through the weight rollercoaster. So last year, I made the decision of when to retire, I have about 4 years. With that on the horizon, question was how do I want to look, what to I want to be doing? I wanted to be in better shape. I started with Weight Watchers and was very successful, then cardio. After a trip to a fitness competition last June, I saw the potential for myself to look that way and so the journey starts.

My favorite workout is one I don't have to go anywhere and still get a sweat. It's a chore for me to drive somewhere, gathering my wallet, water, towel, towel for the seat of my car........ Today, I pulled out a Firm Video for thighs and glutes. It's a good workout with weights and I...
I just dropped by to say that you are looking absolutely amazing! You have the body that so many women dream of having but are not willing to put the effort into developing. I compliment you on your dedication, determination as well as your achievement. What a fantastic inspiration you are to so many others. Stay strong, focused and determined & may God bless.
