Favorite Quote(s): "Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there is footprints on the moon." ~ unknown, "I'm anal retentive. I'm a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I'm a control freak. That's why I'm not married. Who could stand me?" ~ Madonna, "Everyone is entitled to my opinion." ~ Madonna

IF YOU THINK... 

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you like to win but think you can't

It is almost certain you won't. 

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out of the world we find

Success begins with a woman's' will.

It's all in the state of mind. 

If you think you are outclassed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. 

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster woman;

But soon or late the woman who wins

Is the woman who thinks she can! 

""YOU EITHER HELP, OR YOU HINDER!" -me (u want the welcome mat or the boot in your ass?) 

LET ME WIN. BUT IF I CANNOT WIN, LET ME BE BRAVE IN THE ATTEMPT- S.O.A.O.

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT...DO IT!- ME

Training: HARD ASS SH$#! LOL balanced with meditation, tai chi (just starting) and stretching. I do martial arts, tabata, complexes...

What separates Status Fitness from any other fitness magazine: I think the biggest thing is the amalgamation of the fitness industry and the mixed martial arts world.
