My ex-husband got me into health stuff, but it was really my own desire to become healthier and sexier, especially when I saw the scales creep up and watched my dad pass away from heart problems. He fought his battle for nearly 20 years and ended it on October 22, 2012. Now, I compete in local and state pageants to bring forth the platform of heart health to everyone, especially women.

Working out is a pain to get started with. I used to loathe going to the gym! It is hard to get up early especially since I have to be up at 5 am just to get my appearances and daughters ready for the day. So, I go to the gym in the evenings or preferably after work hours. I now love the feeling I get going to the gym and actually look forward to it daily. I hate my off days! I cannot deny the great feeling of lifting those heavy weights and running until I feel that I can go no longer! I feel empowered and healthy and amazingly SEXY!
