Check out my latest interview with The Martinsburg Journal:

An Amazing Transformation

Soon to come, a column I wrote published in the Crystal Coast Parenting Magazine!

Hey all, sorry I have not been around recently but I’m back!  I have gotten some notes and comments about new progress pictures, etc..   I’ve actually had a lot of medical things going on and been in and out of the doctors…  I am writing this to promote preventative exams such as physicals, mammograms, etc…  You can see some pictures from my daily life on my website (www.fittracey.com) or facebook/myspace.   Add me!
My doctor felt an abnormal lump in my abdominal region during a physical.   After xrays, ultrasounds, and CAT scans, we found a cyst on my left ovary about the size of a grapefruit!    I was then referred to UVA Cancer center where more testing was done.  It is not cancer and my oncologist/surgeon will be removing it in the beginning of August.  I can’t wait to feel better and also to make that big bump go away!   You will start to see more progress pictures after this out!  Don’t get me wrong, I am still in the gym working out.. nothin is gonna stop me.
I also went in for a mammogram.  This is important because I have a family history of breast cancer.  My mom and aunt are both survivors of cancer, I can say proudly.   I was shown three masses found in my mammogram.. very small.  I will be seeing a  specialist for this soon!   We are going to talk about preventative measures to make sure this does not become a bigger issue.

So, ladies and gentlemen, be proactive with your health.  Working out and diet is key to being healthy and staying healthy.  Make sure you keep up to date with your physicals and exams!

Lots of love!  Keep up the good work everyone!

First Magazine is flying me to Miami for a photo shoot (week of 2/16)  for an upcoming issue.   I will keep ya posted as to when it is coming out!  Really excited about hitting up some warm, beach weather!

Hey peoples!  So, I’m super excited about what has come into my life in the last couple weeks.

First, I was having an interview for some local papers about weight loss with an independent reporter and we began to chat. A group has been established to target the obesity problem of West Virginia children and their families.  I was asked to be contributor to the group.  I  can not be more excited about this.  I want to make a difference.  I want to help young children and young adults make positive choices and work to overcome weight issues.    I may be asking some of you in the fitness field (or anyone interested) in the general area to come in and talk to some kids or take them through an activity.

In early Feb,  I have a meeting with the coordinator of the Kids In Action group   in our community.  Looking forward to how I can support them or work with them.

Lastly, I was just notified yesterday by the editors of FIRST Magazine that I will be featured in an upcoming issue.  They are doing the wardrobe and everything! Super exciting!  Once things fall into place I’ll let you know what issue, etc…

That’s what’s up with me… oh, I also started T’ai Chi- amazing!   What’s up with you?? 

I’m thankful to be recognized by the NEA (National Educatotion Association) in their latest issue of their national publication- NEA Today.  Here is the online version:
