When I Started:
Feb, 2008
How I Started:
At age 16. Three kids, surgeries and a disability with chronic pain derailed me for ten years. I love working out and lifting weights.
Why I Love It:
The feeling of strength, energy and the natural high. I do not feel exercising is work, it is a pleasure. I need it.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at pics of my favorite male stars (Gerard Butler 300, Jason Statham,
LL Cool J, of course Arnold, Stallone and Corey Everson, Linda Hamilton, Madonna and my trainer Melissa. I also look at Transformations on bodybuilding.com
BB Accomplishments:
In 12 months lost 35 pounds already, three inches off my body and toned my arms and shoulders and back. I have been able to run and do circuit training on my treadmill through my chronic pain now. Pain will no longer own me.

Goal (Long):
The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it."-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I will think good thought based in reality and will fail forward and never quit. To quit is to fail immediately. I will never give anyone that satisfaction. Nobody can break me.
I will persevere because as Arnold says, "The world bows to perseverance."
