Standing in an airport gazing at woman 20+ years older then me who looked fit, lean and looked healthy and happy, I realized something had to change. I stood there broke a 40. 50 lbs overweight, in constant pain because of a back, neck and shoulder issue. I was drinking my anxiety and depression away and although I quit smoking i was addicted to nicorette gum.
I stood there in the airport knowing it was possible and came home and started my health journey. 1% better and baby steps and in the last 7 years learning how to eat clean, intermittent fast and how to workout AROUND my injuries to get strong and lean. Always looking for healthier in the last year went plant based, another game changer in my life. Changing habits and routines and "Doing the Reps"
Then I saw my next inspiration her name is Ernestine Shepherd now 84 years young A woman who started to train at 54 years young to become the oldest woman bodybuilder. She has won a variety of bodybuilding contests and now train others from all age groups. Her spirit and strength is what inspires me. She teaches and empowers people to become stronger, and healthier in body and soul. She is now 84 years young she still trains other and inspires.
