Inspiration Lady!

My oldest daughter sent me a link to a video about this totally amazing woman. Her name is Ernestine Shepard, who, at 74, is a body builder and has the looks that many in their 20's would envy!! Whenever I see people like that, I say, yeah, but they've been doing that all their lives - how does that help me, the Queen of the Couch Potatoes (now 58)?

Well, this woman started at 56!! I don't know if it's possible to put links in so they are clickable, but for now, just copy & paste - or do a search w/her name. She is very inspiring.

Amazing! If she can do it, anyone can! She came in FIRST place in a ody uidling competition and no one was even near her age! That's crazy awesome!

I shed a few tears when I read about how she started - she & her sister were shocked at how bad they looked when they went shopping for bathing suits, so they decided to start on a plan to go to the gym & change the way they were eating. But a short time later her sister had a brain aneurysm & died! She, of course, got depressed - and didn't return to the gym until some friends reminded her that her sister in no way would be pleased with that.

She returned, & decided to reach the goal that the two of them planned on. She dedicated her journey to her sister - and now helps other seniors, too.

Amazing woman.

10 miles a day!!! That's nuts. And I almost died at the end of the video when she posed with her husband in the red outfit. Nothing to hide. :-O
