I loved working out in high school. I used to run every morning. I have been working out since 2007 off and on and have lost 117.2 lbs after a lupus flare and gaining lots of weight on steroids. My highest weight ever was 280 lbs in 1993, then went down to 254 that where I began in Sept 2007. This year has been a particular tough year for me. Lots of steroids after 5 flares. I didn't gain though but I found out I have avascular necrosis in my right hip and can no longer run or do plyrometrics due to pain and possible hip fracture. So the doctor will allow low impact exercise. I am lifting weights, elliptical, biking, and anything else I can do. In October 2014 I completed my certification as a fitness trainer and am currently studying fitness nutrition and should be completed by the end of March 2015.

Great stress reducer and health benefits!!!
