I'm a 46 year old mother of three. Two of the three are college grads and the third graduates from high school in May 2014. I am happily married and live with my husband, my eldest (yes, the college graduate who has been at home for a year without a job) and our two dogs. My daughter is in the Peace Corps in Malawi, Africa and my high schooler lives with his Dad, but will be attending the University of Michigan in the fall.
I love being active, but my body doesn't always allow it. I was in a car accident in 2008 and have had numerous issues since then with my back, neck and knees. I've actually had two surgeries to fuse C5/C6 and C6/C7 and have a herniated disk at L5/S1 that hurts me but I refuse to have surgery..I'm hoping that losing weight will help take some of the pressure off the vertebrae so I can continue putting off surgery. Luckily my bootcamp instructor understands my back/neck issues and always shows a modification for each exercise that could hurt my back/neck.
