Who is SugarMomma?  My nephew used to call me 'momma' when I babysat him.  I used to joke and say 'I ain't your mama'.  So, the kids started calling me 'ain't your mama' and it soon became 'sugarmomma' like the grandmother on their cartoon 'the Proud Family.' So there you go!

So many of you have dropped me a line here to thank me for www.mybodysite.com.  The best thanks in the world would be for you to tell everyone you know to come and join mybodysite!  If you have a page on myspace, bulletin everyone (often) to tell them to come check it out.  Drop me a line to let me know how you're doing.

I have no desire to look like a teenage girl again, or a perfect-figured model. Those bodies are beautiful, but I can't turn back the clock. My husband and I turned 40 this year and although it freaked me out at first to think I'm getting old, I realized I like myself.  I'm not perfect and I will never be, but I'm in a great place.  I'm working to keep what I've got, looking as good as it can look, for as long as possible to be healthy, fit and strong. I always feel like I can make improvements. It's important to me and integral to my happiness that I am NOT driven by the way I look. Instead, I'm driven by the challenge to stay fit, to stay strong, and to be an inspiration to others. I hope that I am and that I can be.

I just never want to be the person who brings other people down. You know the type, you bump into them from time to time and they are always sick, tired, too fat, too skinny, and on and on. They just suck all of the energy out of a room. I want to BE the energy in the room. The only way I think you can be that way is to keep your body and mind fit and have faith in God. I believe God wants us to look and feel as good as we can so we will inspire others to do the same. The old saying - 'when you look good, you feel good' works for me.

Here's some more about me. I live in sunny South Florida and I love the hot weather. I am originally from NJ but could never move back North after enjoying life in a tropical climate for several years. I have two absolutely amazing and beautiful children who are the main focus of my life. I am very happily married to a wonderful man who was my first love. We have been together since we are 13. We are both interested in fitness, health and just looking and feeling good.

I like to workout, hang out with my family and I love to cook. At my house, if we're not cooking, we're eating and if we're eating, we're probably talking about what we're going to cook next. It's an Italian tradition that goes back, for me, to my grandmother.  My secret to staying thin and healthy? Eat. :)
