So, I was thinking, do I need to back up and explain a few things?
I have my reasons for tackling this project at one of the busiest times in my life. How about you? Are you out there?
Let me give you some background.... maybe our reasons are closer together than you think! At the ripe old age of 26 (JUST TURNED) I was diagnosed with CFIDS. (Chronic Fatigue Immune Disfunction Syndrome) still not sure if that was the whole picture, but its the best they could come up with at the time.
Basically, my immune system was gone - abased, non exisent. My pituitary gland had shut down, and there was no nutrient in my body. So basically I was bedridden - for almost 4 years. Not the way yomu want to start a brand new marriage!!
However, after that time - I came out a Powerlifter! How? Well, the docs sent me home saying "you seem nice, hope you don't die - but we can't help you" "oh, and you will wish you were dead"
All I needed. I began studying nutrition, and with the help of a health coach, added the food supplements that would keep me alive for the next 4 years. so I came out of this thru organic raw veggies and protein supplement. (that is what gave me any energy)
in the midst of this, I moved to Nashville, TN - awesome place!!!! And I began attending Bible Studies.... and voila! More and more energy. The more of God's Word I learned, the stronger I became!!
One day this incredible woman came to me and said "I feel that God wants me to train you". I thought aobut it for about 3 seconds, and said - "let's go"!! Little did I know that this girl had been a bodybuilder and Army captain for a number of years already!! She is now, still, years later, a true sister and friend!
3 months with this woman's training, and off to my first competition. GREAT experience!!!! I highly recommend it!!!
So I learned more and more about this miraculous human body. Well, I was hooked. By then I was working parttime in Women's Ministry, and kept up my training, feeling like a million bucks!! I was off to the races, maintaining this until.....
