I got started three year ago lookin at my picture taken with my dad. I was fooled into thinking I was in good shape; the truth is, pictures don't lie. I also got serious this past February after my gallbladder surgery. I'd been going back to the gym for two years but progress was slow. It was then I realized I had to eat better too. That's made all the difference in the world!

I love how it makes me feel after a workout: I have more energy when I leave the gym then when I had when I first get there! I'm always proud when I finish a set workout: it shows if I start something, I can finish it!
