What fuels me to continue to grow, and be better, is my three boys! I became a mom later in life which means my oldest is 13 but my youngest is only 5! Therefore, I will naturally be older than most when they reach typical adult milestones. I want to be as strong and as healthy as I can be, so I’m around a long time for them! I can’t wait to be a grandma one day. In fact, I told my oldest I plan to be a “Glam-Ma”. And yes, since I have three boys I am secretly hoping for a granddaughter. ;)

I currently weight-train 6 days per week M-F. I hit all body parts twice per week except for Glutes - which I train 3 times per week (following Brett Contreras). I sprinkle in 20 minutes of cardio 3 times per week. And on Sundays, I play in our neighborhood adult co-ed Flag Football league! This has really taken me out of my comfort zone, but also resulted in a mild shoulder injury. However, part of the fun is that all of us are in our 40’s and 50’s, so injuries are just par for the course! :)

First off, it’s such an honor to even be considered for this! So thank you! Being a single mom, funds are always tight! Therefore, if I had an extra $20,000, it would go toward my boys’ college tuition! Thank you!
