Frances Lynn's Story
I AM A MOTHER OF ONE SON. HIS NAME IS TYLER. HE WILL BE 13 IN MAY, AND IS ALREADY 6FT TALL. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH TYLER, I HAVE LIVED MY LIFE IN A WAY THAT WOULD ALWAYS MAKE HIM PROUD. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE THE BEST MOTHER THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE, AND AS TYLER GETS OLDER AND MORE MATURE, I KNOW THAT WE ARE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I AM NOT PERFECT, NO ONE IS. I STILL LEARN AS WE GO. AS MUCH AS HE HAS LEARNED FROM ME. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED FROM HIM. MY SON MAKES ME A BETTER PERSON. HE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. AND I HAVE TAUGHT HIM THAT YOU CAN DO, BE OR HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT IN THIS LIFE, BUT THAT NOTHING COMES EASY OR FREE. YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT. YOU NEVER SAY (I CAN'T). FROM BEING A MOTHER, I HAVE GROWN INTO A STRONG WOMEN. I AM NOT AFRAID OF MY AGE, I EMBRACE IT. WOMEN THAT TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES, THEIR MINDS, AND THEIR BODIES, GET BETTER, STRONGER, AND HAPPIER THE OLDER THEY GET. WHEN I TURNED 30, I SAID I WOULD DO IT IN STYLE. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED WORKING OUT, USING WEIGHTS, AND RIDING BIKES WITH MY SON. I LEARNED THAT YOU CAN SHAPE YOUR BODY ANY WAY YOU WANT IT. I WAS HOOKED WORKING OUT IS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. SO WHEN I HURT MY BACK IN 2004, AND COULD NOT WORK OUT FOR 3 YRS. I WENT THROUGH A BAD DEPRESSION BECAUSE MY MIND AND HEART WOULD WANT TO GET UP AND WORK OUT. I WANTED TO LIFT MY WEIGHTS, BUT MY B...Expand for more
ACK WAS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE I COULD NOT EVEN STAND OR SIT FOR MORE THAT 10 MINUTES AT A TIME. MY SURGEON TOLD ME HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE PHYSICAL SHAPE THAT I WAS IN WHEN I HURT MY BACK ,I WOULD HAVE BEEN PARALYZED. BUT AFTER 3 BACK SURGERIES,AND 4 YEARS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY. I AM BACK ON THE TREADMILL 3 TO 5 MILES A DAY, WORKING HARD ON THE BOWFLEX AND RIDING BIKES WITH MY SON IN THE MOUNTAINS. TYLER HAS BEEN RIGHT THERE WITH ME AND IS STARTING TO WORK OUT AND WEIGHT TRAINMORE NOW. I ENJOY WORKING OUT WITH HIM, AND NOW TOGETHER WE ARE LEARNING ALL ABOUT HEALTHY FOODS, AND HOW TO COOK HEALTHIER "AND THE FOOD STILL TASTE GOOD". I WILL BE 39 THIS YEAR AND 40 WILL BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. I USED TO THINK THAT 40 WAS SOOO OLD BUT, I PLAN TO ENTER THOSE DAYS IN STYLE IN SHAPE, AND LOOKING MY BEST.
MY FUTURE GOALS ARE: I HOPE TO BECOME A PHYSICAL THERAPIST. I HAVE A FEW MORE MONTHS MYSELF OF PHYSICAL THERAPY TO HELP TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN MY BACK MUSCLES. I KNOW WITHOUT MY THERAPIST HELP, I WOULD NOT BE DOING AS WELL AS I AM DOING TODAY. SO I WANT TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH EMOTIONAL CONFLICT DUE TO PHYSICAL CHALLENGES. I HAVE ALSO BECOME A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER FOR MY SURGEON'S OFFICE TO HELP MOTIVATE PEOPLE BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY.
I WISH ALL OF YOU GUYS AND GALS FROM FOREST PARK HIGH SCHOOL ALL THE BEST, AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT CHATTING WITH YOU ALL.
