    So many reasons...let's see...

    So I can set an example for my son who is 7 right now...plus the perk of him telling his friends at the bus stop that "Mommy deadlifted 200# last night!!!!" We also play tennis together when it's warm enough...and run together. He wants to do a 5k in the spring when he is 8. He also likes to lift with me sometimes (which we keep to a minimum for safety reasons)...he weighs 45 pounds and can deadlift 50#...little rock star ;)

    So I can be the example to others who have the same brain condition I do (Chiari Malformation), showing them that it is still possible to be healthy and fit despite what the naysayers say. It's better to take risks now and live while you are living them lay down and die before you die.

    Definitely so I can wear cute clothes.

    Definitely so I can eat eggs like a man. And chili.

    I originally came on here so I could be supportive to one of my good friends. I found so much more. I found more good friends and a great support team.

    I worked out before I came on here so I could keep my body fit and healthy. I love to garden and go hiking, or for a walk with the family.

    One day I will have grandchildren and I want to be able to keep up to them too. :flowerforyou:

    - to improve my overall health and well being

    - to avoid the same early demise as my father

    - to be a good example to my children

    - to be a good example to my friends (none of us are getting any younger and most of my buddies don't really take care of themselves)

    - because it feels awesome to be fit and strong (I had forgotten)

    - because it is amazing what proper nutrition can do as "medicine"

    I needed something to track my calories and macros in addition to my training so that I can hopefully some day be a sexy beast.

    I workout so I can possibly stand a chance against being attacked/potential rape yup

    I watch my calories so I can lose weight and maybe help my mental state (not working btw)
