Early in my exercise life, I loved working out because of the difference it made in how I could compete! A feeling of confidence on the field. As I grew older and family became a such an important part of my life, working out and the healthy lifestyle took on a whole different meaning. Not only did I feel great when I started learning that its more than hefting some weights around. But it is a lifestyle! It's diet, attitude, fitness and overall health. And most of all it is something that I can pass on to my family, and seeing my kids eating better working out, having a positive attitude, and showing kindness to others. I can't think of a better legacy. The inspiration and motivation I have found on this site, just goes to show, that there is still some pretty amazing people out there! Our attitude and happiness is a choice and when we live it and share it, it is contagious.
