EVERYTHING happens for a reason! Now if I could just understand the reason!!

About Me

Well I'm PERFECT of course ;o) Hell even I don't believe that BS... I'm a perfectionist but hardly perfect. I'm 40 yrs old, soon to be 41, but feel better now then I did at 20. Kinda makes me laugh cause when I was 20, I thought, damn 40 was OLD. But I consider myself like fine wine, I get better with age. However no matter how old I get, even when I'm 90 (if God allows me to stay that long) I will never wish to be in my 20's again. Nope I kinda like where things are NOW. I credit getting myself into shape for my feeling better on both a mental and physical level.In 2002 I weighed 215 pounds, at 5'6" it was not healthy but worse, was how depressed I felt every time I looked in the mirror. I finally decided on Jan 1, 2002 I was going to do something about it and I did. I learned to eat right and I exercised, both cardio and weight training. I found a kick ass trainer that pushed me and had more faith in me and my ability to do this then I did. By summer of 03 I was 85 pounds lighter and became interested in bodybuilding, especially when I realized a woman can have a muscular physique and STILL look like a woman.In 2004 I moved back to the midwest, competed for the first time in Nov 04 and then once again had the fine fortune of hooking up with another GREAT trainer, who helped me achieve the confidence to compete again in May 06. Both times I competed were awesome experiences but I will say the self confidence and training I received in working one on one with Jennifer Abrams made the 2nd experience 10,000 time better! So now I will challenge myself by competing at LEAST once a year in the spring and I will keep myself fit and healthy the balance of the year with local 5K runs and bike rides, along with my continued weight training.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

I'd like to meet:

New and exciting friends from all walks of life.. And someday but not just yet.... GOD!I'd love to meet others, especially females that are connected/into the sport of NATURAL bodybuilding. Seems there aren't many out there and heck to find one within a close drive to be able to work out with on occasion would be even better.I'm not here to find a date or a one night stand... I think I look fairly decent and if thats what I was after, well I don't think I'd have a problem finding it.But as far as who I'd like to meet by being here, FRIENDS, one can never have to many friends in life. A female buddy to hit a chick flix with on occasion or window shopping at the mall, etc. would be wonderful.

Music:

Just about anything but country and even then I can tolerate some of it.

Movies:

Pretty Woman, Brians Song, The Green Mile, Legally Blonde (sorry guilty pleasure), Die Hard, Raising Helen, That Thing you Do, Must Love Dogs, Catch Me If You Can, Terminator (all of them) - mostly comedies, love stories, drama, not much into horror or slasher films.

Television:

Considering I don't have cable right now, I don't watch much TV. Its on but mainly for background noise so I don't feel so by myself :o) - but I do LOVE Seinfeld and Fraizer, Sex in the City, Everybody Loves Raymond

Books:

The Bible, Anything by Nicholas Sparks

Heroes:

GOD!

Lets see - we've moved from the apartment to the house.  Actually kind of a funny situation on the house.  Kristin had it on the market trying to sell it, once her youngest was off to colleg...
