Ok, if you had to do it over what would you change? What would you like to tell your younger self.
If I had to change something I'd have gone to school somewhere totally different, I love my college friends, but I know if I had gone somewhere else I'd have friends from there that I loved. I don't regret my choice just would love to know what else life could have been ...
I'd tell my younger self to just be me. To not care what others think and to be true to myself ... I am so much happier doing that now!

I would've used more brains and less guts when I seriously hurt my lower back early last year doing heavy deadlifts due to bad form. It was the most dreadful feeling after the last deadlift set when I thought I wouldn't be able to walk. I could not sit, stand, walk for longer than 10 minutes and lying down was the only comfortable position. I had 6 weeks of back rehabilitation.
I couldn't do ANY exercise and so my rehab doc later recommended swimming and that's how I got into it. My back is all well now - but I continue to swim - more regularly in fact, so I guess I fell in love with it. I guess I agree with Stephanie about things happening for a reason.
