In 2003 I was diagnosed with a rare and very serious lung infection. Prior to that my husband, dlmaloy, and I rode bikes all the time, I was fit & healthy. For 7 years I was in and out of the hospital, on numerous meds, and ultimately the upper lobe of my left lung removed. All of that left me overweight, weak, and no confidence in how I looked or felt. I watched my sister transform her body at the gym so I went with her one day and haven't stopped since. God has given me my life back so I want to make the best of it, live it healthy and ready for whatever He may call me to do.

I love it because it makes me feel better and stronger. I am realizing that I can have the body I've always wanted. I am more confident in how I look and feel.
