I was unhappily overweight. Once I realized I was OVER 200lbs, I KNEW I needed to do something for myself. Once I started really getting into the swing of things, running marathons and lifting - looking and feeling my best... my body quit. I was hospitalized several times for "Chronic Rhabdomyolysis" and continued to cause significant kidney damage. My life has changed, but I'm fighting to get it back. I'm hopeful 2018 will bring me good health, doctors that want to help find out why my muscle is atrophying at a rate that my body cannot repair and peace within myself to accept that things are different.

It makes me feel great. I find confidence, strength and personal power within myself. No matter what I want to do, there's always a new challenge or goal. There really is no limit.
