Personal Info
How I Started
Started after my second child. I didn't have to do anything after my first, hadn't gained much & it just melted off, almost 0 stretch marks I was young. But after #2 and I gained more because I had attitude I could eat more and it would melt off like the first time lol, wrong. I gained 20lbs the 1st time, 2nd time I gained 40! My daughter was 5lbs8oz so I was 150 leaving hospital! I started with aerobics then step aerobics, took a class in college on nutrition and aerobics so I became obsessed with calories, weighing, then anorexia then bullimia and laxative addictions. All addictions get worse, you keep looking for lifes answers or 'fixes' in relationships with food, exercise, or ways to fix the problem you create from over or under eating. So after 10 yrs doing that, and growing up, maturing, finding the real reasons inside the real woman I was lost & searching to be loved and found and safe. Always did light weights, they told us ladies to use to "tone" so I never went over 10lb Dbs lol. I took a kick boxing class at the Ymca and LOVED it, love kick boxing and MMA been doing ever since. I get bored with not enough movement or methodically repeating like running....boring....I loved to dance in high school and in single days at the club so to relive those times Ive danced at home more than 20yrs. Salsa in high heels, fast, sexy, hip hop, club style, twerking lol, strip tease...its about knowing who you are...inside...no one else but you feeling sexy and music and dancing your butt off...powerful...intense...knowing you own the room in a crowd when you walk in and start dancing....or alone no make up...sweat & who cares....just me....its an incredible high....
I was in a relationship for the last 3yrs and ended last spring. I am going through alot of healing and soul searching and my progress so far has been amazing with God. Only God can heal the wounds people give us, heal the scars on our hearts they made selfishly. I go to church twice weekly...and I have a very large supportive girlfriend network in my church who have been my biggest blessing....God found me, I found myself, and God sends the right people in your life for your good, for reasons you cant see yet. My prince charming was a diamond I saw in the rough....he was not always charming, he was not always good, but he's a fallen angel, but he will always still be a beautiful angel always in my eyes....
I have a third child, my 2 oldest are grown on their own, my baby is now 7...he is pure joy.... He is my gift from God. He is most precious, intelligent, empathetic & purely innocent and sweet. I am blessed to have everything....
Why I Love it
I work out to live. To be ALIVE. We are given one body, dont screw it up. Ive never done drugs or smoked a cigarette EVER. Limited alcohol and dont drink at all for years and not currently. I dont lay out and get mahogany dark EVER. I lay out once or twice a week in summer only then use lotions with bronzers etc to extend it longer. I take care of what goes in my body. Eat clean, feel clean. Eat crap, feel like crap. I have IBS I manage with h2o excercise and nutrition, so Im very careful what I eat. Drink 1.5- 2 gallons some times more H2O daily. Drink green tea! My anti aging and fountain of youth secret for.no gray hair yet no wrinkles yet.
Healthy vibrant skin, toned and soft, use tanning oils/lotions after shower all year round for extremely soft tone skin. Cocoa butter is best. SLEEP! You really do nee beauty sleep, and your body makes more hgh.and testosterone while you sleep so your muscles grow!
I love doing well. At anything. Very competitive, Ive had to rein in as it affected relationships where I would do anything to win a competition and didnt care about their feelings. Im now only in competition with myself. How good can I get? How great can I be? How much will I love my body when I put hard hours building it up? How big can my legs grow? How high can my glutes sit up tighter on my body? Well....why dont we just see what I can do? Could I compete? Im blessed with alot of good body parts with good genetics....Some who use PEDs may not have the genetics I do....but I refuse to lower my standards &morals to "cheat" nature and myself to get a means to an end.
In the end I want to give all thanks to God, He takes care of me, comforts me, protects me, provides for me & my son and HE gives me love and forgiveness when I make mistakes/sin and I owe everything to HIM. and I am thankful to myself for letting go of my past hurts &; being healthy on the inside, even more important than being healthy on the outside. I am valuable. I have many many beautiful gifts I hope others may receive joy from me. I refuse to compromise my morals or standards....God has a plan for me, and has a plan for whomever He wants FOR ME and I trust in HIM that man will be the one and true love from God. A mans actions are the essence of his true heart......not his words....
