Claire Saady

Life fuels my passion for health and fitness. My mother died when she was only 40 years old. I was 15. This has shaped my life and my desire to live healthfully… no drugs, no alcohol, no distractions. By choice, my legal career is now, part-time. But, my fitness journey feels like a new adventure. I will be taking an online course to be certified in nutrition at Cornell University. This will compliment my self-taught knowledge of nutrition and my years of weight training.

Some say I am rigid. I say I am focused and disciplined. I enjoy each part of my daily structure. I am strong. I am healthy. 5:30 am wake up; gym for weight training (trainer 3 days a week); daily morning walk with a friend in my beautiful city of St Petersburg. 130 grams of daily protein. Dinner by 5 pm, followed by an evening walk. Saturday’s are beach warrior workouts and bridge walking. Don’t ask if I’m obsessed; ask me how I feel!!! Mind and body are strong.

I never thought about the money. I want to share my passion with others.I am not a great beauty but I am a great advertisement for how a woman can look and feel at any age. As to the $20,000, I’d like to use the money to share my knowledge and passion with women. I want to convey to women of all ages that being eating healthy and going to the gym is not a sacrifice. It is a way of life. And, my life is joyful!
