In her own words,

“I’m living the life now that I’ve always wanted to live – to be healthy enough to be active.  First part of my life was raising children, supporting my husband in the ministry and now it’s all about me. I’ve decided to be selfish about my body; this is the only one I’ll ever have so I better take care of it’
