About Me

My photo
Hi & welcome to my blog; my place to journal, to document & share my journey to tranfiguring my body & mind. I have struggled with my weight & body image issues my whole life leading me from one diet to the next and in and out of gyms & my weight & size has fluctuated more time that I can count. In Jan 2008, I learned about the benefits of "eating clean" & incorporated this into my life. Eating clean has changed my life & I love it! I also became serious about strength training & building muscle & have been powerlifting since February 2008. I love what heavy lifting does for my body & mind. Originally I thought I would aim only toward competing in powerlifting, but after reevaluating my goals & dreams, I want to focus on body building as well. I will lift like a man so I can look like a godess. This is my journey to transfiguring my mind, body, spirit & life & to see where this road leads.

STAND

The other morning I was driving to work, the radio was on at a low volume & I my mind was clear. There was a song playing that I've listened to multiple times, but this morning it connected to me. This was the 1st time I actually HEARD it. This song, every verse of it, speaks volumes about my life; my life long battle to get fit & stay fit. I've been broken, I've been mad at myself, I've had enough & gotten back in the race more than a few times. I'm still discovering what I'm made of & this time I'm finishing the race!

Have you found out what you're made of?

    Hi Amy! so glad you stopped by my blog! How's the Challenge going for you? I will remember your Cousin in my prayers. I am so proud of my son, but I feel in my heart that we have no business over there. But...they do what they have to do. Just like us. :)
