Hello Divas. I am 41 year old single mom of two who was diagnosed seven years ago as type 2 diabetic and hypertensive. I was hooked on fast food restaurants and thought nothing of it...until I started to become extremely tired and not able to participate in activities with my kids.
At that point I know I needed to change my bad habits into good habits by finding exercise I enjoyed doing. God answers prayers because Zumba was introduced into my life and I reconnected with my love of dance. I also met a beautiful woman name Katina, whom now I do consider my bff.
With encouragement and a push from Katina to do more, I became a licensed Zumba instructor.
Fast forward four years and I have another goal that look forward to accomplishing. Something I was told never to do and it's not woman like. Something I set out to do since early 90's.
So now at 41, I am taking this opportunity to pursue my dream of competing in a body building competition.
It has taken me some time to get here... only God and I mean ONLY God knows what it took for me to get here. With the extra push from some wonderful friends, I am now looking forward to my upcoming competition November 7, 2015.
When I began this journey, I weighted 238...my new weight is 151 pounds.
Can you say inspiring?
