About the Author

I am a 34-year old female attorney living in NYC.  I work long hours, am married, and have a stepson, but still make time in my hectic schedule to work out.  Sometimes it happens at 10pm!

I do not work out to lose weight, even though I understand that some of my readers may be doing so.  I have always been more concerned with how I feel.  When I work out, I know I am getting stronger -- my posture is better, I am more flexible, I can lift more weight, I don't get tired.

I do not count calories or diet.  I have a massive sweet tooth and love carbs.  I also never met a milkshake I didn't like.  I just try to balance it out with plenty of lean meats, fish, fruits and vegetables.  I rarely drink soda, and if I am not drinking water I am probably drinking hot decaf green tea.

I am gluten-free, and not by choice.  It seems to be genetic in my family, and we have adapted very well over the years.

I am also egg-white free, again not by choice.  Finding out about that allergy was difficult, but once I cut egg whites out, multiple health problems went away literally overnight.
