- About You: I am a 51 year old exercise enthusiast. I was heavy when I was younger & lost weight the wrong way before learning the right way to eat & exercise. I love lifting weights & reading anything about health & fitness. I have 3 grown stepchildren and 7 grandchildren.
- Goals: Encourage all to embrace fitness & health. To bring the word of weight resistance to women! To represent products in the fitness arena & let "older" people know that you are never too old to do new things!
- Favorite Foods: All kinds of whole grain breads, my homemade protein bars, oatmeal (YES!), power peanut butter, chicken/turkey, almonds, greek yogurt with blueberries, fav treat is a real big ole oatmeal raisin, molasses/spice or snickerdoodle cookie
