Six years ago

This is me in 2002 -- I know, a weird pose but even then I had a glimmering of panic about being out of shape.  Looking back now, I want to slap my six-years-prior self for feeling flabby, huge and gross -- I'm looking OK here.  A little more toning and def. in the lower body would be nice, but I liked my upper body -- at this time of my life we lived in Osaka, Japan.  We had joined the Kansai Dragons International Dragon boat team, and by my awe-inspiring biceps, you can tell which side I paddled on most!  At the end of the racing season I discovered I was an ambidextrous paddler, but it was too late to even things out -- hence the mismatched biceps.  I'm sure Serena Williams has the same problem too, hahaha!
