I actually starting working out when I was in the military. Fitness was a big thing for me then (in my younger days) and once I left, it just didn't seem that important anymore. Now that I am older and was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes I realize that it is time to make it a priority once again.

I love working out! I usually work out first thing in the morning about 6am and it just sets the tone for my day. I love the way I feel after I have had a great workout. I have come to realize that when I skip a few days in the gym, I really feel it and NOT in a good way!! Seeing the progress that I have made so far really makes this whole process worth it for me!
