I was always a fat kid growing up. I wanted to join the Marine Corps, so the summer before my senior year of high school, I started working out all the time...almost to the point of obsession. I lost about 35 lbs, gained a lot of confidence and I joined the Marine Corps and was honorably discharged 4 years later. During those 4 years, I had knee surgery and was a victim of sexual assault. Those lead to depression, anger, and anxiety issues. While trying to get better, I stopped working out and gained weight. To help with my anger issues, I started boxing and wound up Hawaii state Champ for my weight class. I love boxing! No matter what kind of day I am having, I go to boxing and I walk out walking on cloud nine!
Now, working out and bodybuilding is an outlet for me to regain my confidence, body, physical and mental health.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling that I get when I work out. The rest of the day I am energized and feel good about myself. I feel stong and I feel like I can take on anything after a good workout!
How I Stay Motivated:
I look at pictures of me when I was in shape! I am not happy with my self and I am trying to get back into the bodybuilding! When I get distracted or upset, I take time to refocus myself on why I am doing this!
When the clothes start feeling loose...better yet, when I go shopping and I can buy a size smaller!
If I lose the motivation to go lift, I buy new workout clothes. As materialistic as it is, it works for me! Plus I love to shop, so that always keeps me motivated!

I am really embarrased about posting these pics. I've always had body issues, so if you have nasty comments, please keep them to yourself. This is my first "before" picture

Goal (Long):
I don't want to be a skinny girl. I think skinny girls (and guys) look gross. I want my body to represent a stong (in every aspect, not just physical) woman that can take on whatever come my way.
I want people to look at me and be afraid to mess with me. I hate being seen as weak.
I'm not too concerened about a number...If I weigh 200 lbs and look great and am healthy, that's awesome!

What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
No sugar added ice cream. Fairly low in sugar, carbs and calories, but great taste (especially with a little bit of cool whip!)

Things are going well. Today is my first day of rest since Friday, so my body is a little sore! My diet is going well and I'm working on dropping the diet pop or reducing it to one or two servings a day. I drink diet dr. pepper like water, so going to the one or two cans is hard!
I train boxing 4 days a week for about 60-90 minutes. This includes:
1. Jumprope warm up 3 2-min rounds
2. Shadowboxing 3 2-min rounds
3. Heavy Bag work, sparring, boxing ciruits, speedbag, working with mitts and anything else we feel like doing!
Excellent!! You excited about moving back to Ohio? Training is going good. Ran two miles this morning with slight pain and did 5 100 meter sprints. Also worked out legs and abs at lunch, feeling good!!! How are you coming along on ur training?
That's great. I am glad to hear that you are doing great!!Well, I am able to start back at training my knee, so I am happy again!!!!!! I just got back from doing my chest and abs and I am feeling it good right now!!!
That's awesome. I am still in the process of getting weight items for the house. I have a treadmill, a gazelle, an ab exercise equipment and some light weights. Will be trying to get more in the next six months. What did ya work on today?
Well, glad ya made it home safely. How's it feel to get back into the mix? Here in about a week, I have to go to school for three months and will have to use an adaptive workout regiment until I get back home. Anyways, how are you doing?
