A Little About Me

I'm a former model, singer and fitness enthusiast during the time I lived in New York City. Today I am a mother of one 16-year old son and I work for myself from home. I have two websites that occupy most of my time. One is a health and fitness site, the other a live advice (spiritual) site, which I have owned and operated now for over 9 years.

I do have to admit in the past two years I have gained some weight and I'm having a little trouble staying focused like I use to. In the past, there is no way I would not know where the nearest gym was nor would I miss a workout. I don't like the recent weight gain, I still have quite a bit of muscle but what I'm looking for is motivation. I have to say when I came upon My Fit Tribe, I sensed a pulse. It seemed alive, which is hard to do from a web page.

I'm here, I hope to make some friends and reclaim my former body, which I totally know is possible.

When I Started Working Out

1989

How I Started

My boyfriend took me to the then Vertical Club (now known as the Reebok Sports Club) on the upper east side of Manhattan.

Why I Love It

I transformed my body and became known as Ms. Vertical Club.

How I Stay Motivated

Well, right now that is the problem. I want my body back. Once you have a perfect body, you can never accept anything less. Currently, I'm disappointed. I want to change that and I want to change it now.

My Worst Injury

Once while doing abductor exercises using the cables, I probably was not using good form in addition to having too much weight and I hurt my hip. I didn't need any physical therapy or anything but I had to lift my left leg for a while to get out of car manually. It took a year to heal....and I never used cables again for my abductors until recently in my home gym.

I Would Love To Meet

More people who are motivated and who motivate me.

Goals

Main Goal

Right now my main fitness goal is to drop the extra LBs I've gained and to expose more muscle. Discover any issues that may be preventing me from losing weight or maybe it's just inconsistency.

Short Term Goal

Get a regular routine going again and stick to it.

Long Term Goal

To be back in my size 6 clothes.

Bodyfat Goal

??

Weight Goal

135-140

Favorites

Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)

I love men's shoulders and chest. Ooooh I just love it.

Bodyparts (Yours)

ass. I have been told my ass is a work of art. Right now it is a work in progress.

Exercises

I have almost a complete gym in my basement. It includes a Life Fitness gym, a treadmill, elliptical, weights, balls and workout floor. But it's lonely down there.

Healthy Foods

I love organic healthy foods. I shop at Whole Foods and a local organic health food store. I take regular supplements and a barley drink daily. I have found really tasty rice pastas I use now with my own sauces. I just love healthy foods.

Not So Healthy Foods

I have a sweet tooth sometimes when I eat wheat. I have discovered that wheat doesn't like me. Breads and pastas made with wheat cause me to bloat, slow down my metabolism and make me craves SWEETS. When I avoid wheat products, I lose weight faster but, hey, I'm going to eat some of the tempting pastas and breads sometimes. But not every day.

Supplements

I take barley green (big table spoon in carrot juice daily), omega-3's, bromelain, Tri-Boron and co-enzyme-Q10, and my beauty pill (hair, nails, etc.)

Hobbies

Working out of course

Magazines

Books

Spiritual books, books on entrepreneurialship

Workout Music

I love the big banging hip-hop music to workout to. If the music is not great, I can't workout. I've walked out of many aerobics classes because the music didn't do it for me.
