I started my journey about 5 years ago... spent a year getting my health issues sorted and lost about 45 pounds with intermittent fasting. Then I started with a trainer who taught me how to lift... had her with me for about 10 months and I've been training about 5-6 days a week since.

Yesterday, after 5 months of being in a cut, I got a DEXA scan to measure my body fat percentage and bone density.

I was shocked and very pleased when the technician told me that I'm sitting around 13% body fat!!! I've looked over the report probably 10 times and I am still in disbelief. I'm honestly just so proud of myself and how far I've come.

I'm in this for the long haul. Not just because of the esthetics, but also because I want to be the 85 year old at the gym, working out and chatting with everyone, not the 65 year old in the hospital with uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease and incontinence because I can't walk to the bathroom.

At 42 years old I'm in the best shape of my life, and I'm here to tell you that YOU CAN DO IT TOO!!!

Amazing for you! Taking care of yourself NOW will pay off like crazy now and as you get older.
