Lifting is what's made me stronger and made me look better. Not only does it burn fat amazingly - and I think it's really honed my body - it's also given me the strength in the ring to lift girls up. I can literally lift anything on my shoulders.
I truly feel like I'm a living Wonder Woman.
I was loving being the champion, and I wasn't listening to my body. I almost felt like I was untouchable in a way - that I could just keep going and everything would be OK.
I am with a very successful man, and the crazy thing is people think that it makes my career easier.
I think my mom is kind of this way, too. We're just such strong women. My mom's been through so much, so I think that's where I got it from.
I know that with my spinal condition I can never be full time again - I just can't do that, but I do wanna be full time, and I don't want to retire.
