Well,I was in a car accident in 1999. I was at a dead stop and was hit from behind at 45 mph. I suffered a fractured disc,and some torn muscles in my upper back. I also had a serious case of whiplash! I guess I came out of it better than I could have. I was in physical therepy for seven months.My physical therepist told me that I would have to be a body builder for the rest of my life to keep my muscles strong. So, I started lifting and really enjoyed it. Life kinda took me away from the gym for a few years until in 2005 when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I had suffered from a lot of unexplained pain as a child,but no one knew why,so I did just that...suffered.
I think I have always had Fibro,and my car accident really set it of. So,I realized that I would have to take care of myself to be stronger and hopfully lessen pain. I started lifting and working out religiously! I loved it! It has helped me SO much! I still struggle with Fibro everyday,but when I lift,I am challenging this illness to try and stop me! I am too stubborn and strong willed to let anything keep me down. My faith and determination drive me everyday.
Why I Love It:
Just love to sweat! I love to push myself in everything I do. I love to be stronger and see the results. I am very passionate about living a healthy lifestlye. This is the only body God gave me, so I want to take care of it!
How I Stay Motivated:
I am very self-motivated. I CHOOSE to be healthy and strong,not just for myself,but for those that I love. I want to help others overcome chronic pain or any other obsticles that might keep them down. I know that I was meant to help others,so I must get ready to do so:)
I also have ADHD, so being a little hyper helps!
BB Accomplishments:
Well...it was'nt 'MAJOR',I guess,but I was featured on the front page of the website. Hey...it WAS a big deal to ME!!! It made my day!!
