When I turned 40, I got divorced. While reorganizing my life, moving 3 times in one year, plus working full time, taking care a my youngest daughter and also taking care of my mother who was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer and my 85 yo grandmother who had Alzheimer's, I lost 30 pounds of fat and was down to about 20% body fat. This was the first time that I actually felt fabulous, confident and SEXY! I was rockin it! I started working out at home but it was haphazard although on a pretty regular basis. I knew that I needed to take the next step and joined a local gym
And I loved it!

Working out gives my day structure, makes me feel confident and gives me a sense of accomplishment! I recently, like yesterday, realized I have an incredibly high tolerance for pushing myself, I am relentless energy and I need the emotional stability, or a release of inner toxins and thought demons that working out gives me. It's a release of negativity and negative thoughts. It's time for myself, by myself. I focus on the workout, I focus on the muscle group and technique. In other words working out helps me to focus on whats really important in my life and stop the nattering of negative people. I am a much happier person when I workout! Not to mention I love how my body an transform and I feel sexy!
