I decided one day I did not want to be fat any more. I wanted to be physically fit, strong and healthy and be a good role model for my children. My husband and I started walking on our treadmill, then I started running to lose weight. Now I'm done with running and only losing weight. I'm ready to build muscle.

I love working out because I feel almost like a warrior! I feel good when I work out, and I like knowing I'm doing good for my body. Being healthy is the utmost importance to me and working out is my way to be healthy. Only I have control of my health, so I love that I can do something to continue to have a strong body.
