By some miracle beyond my comprehension, this book came into being within one year of my mother’s passing on October 23rd 2011. There is no way I could have started this book without her and, to my chagrin, we couldn’t finish together due to her early demise from a childhood heart disease. For as long as I can remember, Mom said, “Colleen, we’ve got to write a book, people want to know what it takes to be fit forever!” So many people have sent us fan mail and query letters wanting to know how we were able to stay in shape, even after winning championships as bodybuilders. We created a DVD first and were featured in many health and fitness magazines, and appeared on several TV shows.
