I have always been athletic and participated in sports such as Lacrosse and Swimming. I am competitive. As the years wore on my priorities got a little messed up. After a disastrous first marriage I became depressed, developed anxiety and OCD tendencies. With the support and love of my second marriage, and four of the best kids ever, I slowly found my way back to running. I love running. I have had several surgeries for aliments I know were brought about from stress and poor eating but I eventually recovered from all of those. The more I ran the better I felt but it wasn't enough. I wanted to be strong. I got stuck in the mindset that at age 42 I couldn't be strong. I don't know why exactly. Anyway, I got back into the gym and within a week I felt amazing. I wanted to lift more. I began to seek out programs and help and like minded people. So here I am. Working on being in the best shape of my life and eating clean. I have felt better than I have in YEARS!!!

I love way I feel when I am done working out. Admittedly there have been many a day I have gone to the gym kicking and screaming but once I was done I walked out of the gym feeling amazing. That is what I live for. My kids are seeing a whole new side of me and I love that they are motivated as well. The next best thing to feeling good is looking good. I have some work to do but I am looking better every day. I don't want to be the skinny girl, I want to be the girl that can lift some heavy ass weight, hahahah.........
