I've always worked out....however I decided to take my workouts to another level. After my breakup earlier this year it pushed me even further to accomplish this goal. I peaked at 185 lbs..the heaviest I've ever been!! Now I am a cool 153 and still losing....hopefully by the show I will be 145....
Why I Love It:
I love working out because it helps me relieve stress, keeps my b*tchiness to a minimum (well I'd like to think so, I love the way my body looks!
How I Stay Motivated:
I look at pictures of figure competitors. Trust me I have my days when I'm like the hell with the gym...but then I feel guilty. I also put on some heels and strut my stuff in front of my mirrors and I love what I see.
BB Accomplishments:
I've lost 30 lbs since November and am competing in my first show June 28, 2008.
I still continue to maintain my weight, even after my first show I remain a cool 155....I would like to drop that by 10 lbs....I'm competing in my 2nd show October 25th.

This is me after my workout....my body fat is still up hence my stomach...
Trying to compare how my legs look from June until now....I haven't even begun to get lean yet
To always keep God 1st no matter what I'm doing. Keep my mind right admist life's ups and downs. GET LEANER~!~
Goal (Long):
I've accomplished part of my goal...in November 2008, I peaked at my heaviest...185 lbs. Never in my life have I weighed that much...I was going to the gym daily however my diet sucked! All week I would go to the gym then comes Friday and Saturday and it was cheese pizza, wine, cheese, and CEREAL! So that will undo any working out....
So the next goal as it says on my page is to compete in my first show which I'm doing. I love the way I look now. I can't believe 35 lbs lighter I'm still going strong.
Anyone who takes the time to read this, be encouraged! If I can lose 35 lbs in 6 short months so can you. Yes it's discipline, yes it's diet, but you will love yourself even more when you see the results. Don't let anyone discourage you and remember once you start this it's a "lifestyle" change, and by that I mean your diet and exercise. Remember not everyone is up for the challenge...never accept complacency and discouragement from anyone regarding your lifestyle change.
FOR THE LADIES: Don't throw away those "skinny jeans". C'mon you know the pair that we keep and we say to ourselves I'm going to get back into those one day. My skinny jeans have become my loose jeans :)
AGAIN BE ENCOURAGED, SET YOUR MIND TO IT AND STICK WITH YOUR GOALS!!

I hope you had an enjoyable, safe, and eating right holiday weekend :) LOL! I cheated....there I admit it....The key lime pie in the damn Giant store kept calling me.....I feel so guilty!!! But then again this does show my humanistic side....That was on Saturday...needless...
Great blog post Megs, about keeping Him 1st. Man that's hard isn't it? Good luck deciding where your life/career is headed. Don't fret too much -- I made a career change at age 42. I'm GLAD I did, and He was faithful (& my wife doesn't work - didn't have a 2nd income to fall back on). Best wishes. :-)
Excellent profile pic & results, Megs. All is coming together...you'll no doubt have everything dialed in as u step on stage. Be positive, diet well, stay motivated!
Well, just as those who pray loudly in public, the "haters" too will have their reward. Just don't let them dim your positive aura and energetic smile. Stay focused and strong!
Hey AKA Girl...I'm still undecided about my suit. I leaning toward ordering from Passion Fruit. I may get a basic suit and add some bling myself. I can't decide on color though. But I have to order soon, as I am now 10 weeks out. How early did you order? I want to have a good fit.
Its good to see you're back. You never told me how you did but congrats on getting into shape. Your profile pic is GREAT!!
What is the next show you're doing?
I was reading your blog and it is true what you said about haters. Just remember haters are born from other people who take away excuses. We show them that it can be done and they know that they are not strong enough to achieve it. When ever success is achieved we take away the reasons why other say they can't. Stay motivated because you motivate me.
