I have been working out most of my life, albeit sometimes I have taken it more seriously than at other times. However, I have been a stroker since I turned 31 and hope to keep going. I look up to fitness models like Jamie Eason and Gennifer Strobo as well as "old timers" Karen Voight and Rachel Mcleash (sp?). I am totally committed and dead set on being in the best possible shape I can be. I want to make myself proud!

It makes me a better person. I can give more love to those around me when I love myself. And overcoming the physical challenge makes me feel like I can do anything.
