When I Started:
How I Started:
...Let's see, when I was in high school my friend and I would workout at the Army/Airforce base (Ft. Lewis/Mcchord , and go eat bean burritos at Taco Bell immediately afterwards...didn't really get into fantastic shape doing that...I can't imagine why...lol!
Then when I went to college, I started running, I used it as a stress reliever and did it about 6 days a week..I lost about 25 lbs in 3 months easily and ate a ton of food (didn't know anything about eating "clean" then, so I ate as healthy as possible in the cafeteria)...but never did any strength training at all.....I had been a member of a gym for as long as I could remember, usually only to use cardio equipment though...
But now, after struggling the past 5+ years with extra weight that just won't budge, I decided to step it up and add weighlifting to my exercise plan, after seeing the transformations here on BootySpace...oops, I mean Bodyspace...I decided it was time for me to transform too!
Why I Love It:
It makes the impossible possible and changes your life. I feel really good after a workout, like I accomplished something and can be proud of myself for the day. My self respect grows each time I leave the gym dripping with sweat, knowing I busted my a#*...
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at other's before and after pic's and reading their stories. Seeing the amazing body transformations here is very motivating to me!
BB Accomplishments:
Nov 2008--I'm starting to get traps! My first visible muscle :)
March 2009--feel comfortable enough with how my arms look to wear sleeveless shirts finally!
Wow I hate looking at this pic, but you can see the progress so I'm posting it. I weighed between 184-187 here and had been that size for about 3 years...I was not loving life like this!
...I knew I lost a little fat around my hips but this really shows it compared to previous pics...I weigh 146 or 147 now...diet not so good this week :/
It's in my heart, it's in my mind, I'm ready for the challenge, I've set my sights...
Goal (Long):
My body weight has yo-yo'ed my entire life. I want to step it up and not just be content with being a certain size number, but get toned and trade some fat for muscle. I have always wanted to have toned, muscular arms but haven't put forth the effort to get them until now.
Also-I was motivated by some of the transormations on this site before I joined it, and I would be thrilled if my progress motivated someone else that way :) :)
stumbling onto one of her blogs one night is what pushed me to give weight lifting a try...and it's what lead me to Bodybuilding.com...her bare fact, "no nonsense" perspective on diet choices and working out were exactly what I needed to hear...I just thought people like her had the "genetic gift" of muscle and a fit body and really didn't have to do much to keep it...her blogs erased that thinking and educated me on the work that goes in and what it really takes...and I am grateful :)
...Ok I tried to give it a break and stop taking it a few days ago but apparently for me it is also an appetite supressant! I kinda felt like it had been supressing my appetite to some extent while taking it, but I confirmed it now...
...I have had major HUnger cravings that I don't...
I heard it gives some people headaches and some muscleaches!!:( U have any of those problems? How much do u take daily? What flavors would u recommend? Thanks a lot 4 the info on this product!!!:) Stay Motivated!!! Aaron
