THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

My family of course.  Even my Mom who at first was seeminly disgusted with my stage hooker heels and she didnt understand figure and what it was about.  My kids and their comments to their friends….."my mom is jacked, she will kick your butt" and my 9 year old Sam who says I am ‘the biggest, most tan buff mom in town".  I suppose it’s something kids usually say about their Dads, but I am Mom and Dad so it’s ok.

I’m thankful we have a place to live after a messy divorce and an ex who tried like Hell to put me and the kids on the street.  I ended up moving out and giving up my half for a mere $3,000…..I said "you want the house, take it.  Life is too short to have to deal with your ugliness……I’m out." I now rent a house, but am A-hole FREE.  I lived in a car and in a truckstop hotel years ago so this is like paradise for me. Paradise is a raised ranch!! 

I’m thankful I have the opportunity to fufill many of my dreams like doing shows, modeling and now the prestigious Arnold Classic, even if it is only amateur.  A  pro card is not necessary for my happiness and I can do a ton of shows a year without one.  A card would limit me of course.  And thanks to the photographers who  want to shoot with me and make me feel pretty once in awhile…..it takes the sting of being called ugly on a daily basis all through school………..away. 

I’m thankful I have food.  My dieting is easy for me because in  my past I have gone without food so my kids could have more.  Oh and the anorexia thing, forgot that part.   So even if I only have a smidge of bland chicken and rice to eat sometimes…….it’s food……so no whining.

I have a decent car and I am thankful.  I went 8 years without a car when my kids were small. I appreciate my Hyundai!! 

See life isn’t always wonderful, but when it has been very bad, you appreciate the good things more.  Some people have a hard time understanding this if they haven’t struggled.  It’s not their fault though.  I have had to fight for everything.  Its like the song fighter.  Yep, I like Christina….the chick can sing.  So here are so vids to keep you entertained.
