I am 53 years-old this year. I have heart disease, high blood pressure and because I smoked for many years I have COPD. My genetics have given me thyroid issues, 3 types of debilitating arthritis and I recently was diagnosed with lupus. I have had numerous procedures on my back for severe chronic pain and have more to go. The one thing all of this hasn't given me is a reason to give up. I just have to fight a whole freaking lot harder for what I need to live a long, happy, healthier life. But that is what a She Beast does so I'm entering the battle fully armored and ready to destroy the enemies that seek to block my path to the goal. Raawwrrrrrrr!

I reached a year long goal to walk a half marathon on January 12, 2013. I trained with other team members all of 2012 towards that goal. It is how I celebrated my 3 year Sparkversary. Soon I will start riding my bike again. Because of balance issues, I will have to have adult customized "training" wheels, but I don't care. I'm going to attempt to walk 1000 miles in 2013 and ride 1000 miles as well. I will make new goals each year. I'll never stop until my time is up. I can't. I won't. I may never be lean. I may never be totally fit. What I WILL be is the best I can be and I will ALWAYS strive for better!

My Program:
The only plan that really works long term - Eat moderate amounts of healthy food and get moderate amounts of exercise - This is for LIFE!

My program also consists of working to inspire, motivate and encourage those who struggle. In response, I get back so much more of the same. I'm always so inspired by those who keep going no matter what life throws at them.

I work hard to be a good example of what I preach and teach - self love, self worth, and self respect. Never give up and never give in - We can do this!

Personal Information:
MaryJane in San Antonio, Texas. Very happily married to one of the most loving, supportive men alive.

I have 3 grown kids and 2 young grandsons.

I'm a Spark-aholic!

I honestly dont think that they will be doing it. I got the vibe the writer who interviewed me wasnt pleased that I wasnt allowing her to write the story she wanted. She was trying to convince me Id lost the weight through boxing but I didnt . I run a lot, I walked a lot, I did Bikram yoga, Id get drunk and dance, I boxed, I lifted a ton of weights, I pretty much did whatever kept me active and interested. I am embarrassed bc I told a lot of people and then was never contacted ab a publish or not publishing issue but I'd rather look like a liar for not getting an article than to have a published article based off of lies altogether. So yeah. Sorry I havent been better about updating sooner.
