Receive Text UpdatesMy battleground has been autoimmune disease and fibro for 17 years, yet chronic illness has never taken my joy or my will to rise again. Most wouldn't believe I was mostly bed bound in August! There are still struggles, but I'm overcoming. True strength is physical, mental, and spiritual, and all three must be balanced. What we put into our bodies matters-our bodies are temples worthy of care and respect. I strive to show my children and grandchildren discipline, resilience, and never giving up
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?After being ill for many years, I’ve learned to honor my body even when strength looks different than it once did. Instead of focusing only on lifting, I now prioritize balance, flexibility, and core strength - areas that once suffered the most but are now becoming the foundation of how I stay fit as I rise from the ashes of chronic illness.
What would you do with $20,000?I would invest in adding a piece of equipment to my home gym - fitting after winning this kind of contest 😉 - and use the remainder responsibly, unless I feel compelled to help meet a greater need elsewhere.
