Alright! Getting into the fitness lifestyle can be difficult for alot of ppl, especially those of us that were raised on greasy meat and potatoes, or even hamburger helper and puffed rice cereal. That's how it was for me when I was younger, with 6 siblings it's hard to get great nutrition with parents on a strict budget.
Later though, my mother decided to get back into the swing of things. She used to compete in bodybuilding in the late '80s placing top three in all of the shows she participated in. She even won a "best poser" trophy which she values most. She was good. Great abs, a huge back and she could do weighted dips with more than some men. Sure she got accused of using steroids but it was all just determination and blood and guts workout routines. She ran close to 10 miles every day and practiced her routines for hours before each show.
She is my ultimate inspiration. She taught me correct form in the small middle school gym I started at. There wasn't much in there but there was enough.
I was overweight in school, I got made fun of and boys never asked me to hang out, or go out. I was depressed, as I'm sure most of us are at a tender age when what people think of us matters so much. I decided to make a change.
At age 15 I started running, at first I could barely run a quarter mile but I set large rocks, fence lines or power poles as my next goal and I made them! The first time I could run from my house to a reservoir over a mile uphill, I did the Rocky with my arms in the air and yelled. I was so excited! I love the feeling of reaching my goals. I started doing so with my weights and will continue to do that. It feels good to know you've made it.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DOUBT SOMETHING, DOUBT YOUR LIMITS.
Why I Love It:
If I didn't have the weight room, I would be a wreck! Stress is everywhere and it feels good to go throw around some heavy weight and kick your own ass.
How I Stay Motivated:
Sometimes I falter, just like everyone else. So I make sure to mix things up when I feel the over training creeping up. I also have cut pictures out of magazines and stuck them to my wall, my mirror, my fridge, my car (!) and even the background of my phone. I've got to remind myself every day that that damn french bread isn't worth it.
BB Accomplishments:
HOW ABOUT GETTING STARTED?! THAT'S THE TOUGHEST PART AND ANYONE THAT STARTS BETTER BE DAMN PROUD OF WHAT THEY'RE COMMITTED TO!
I placed sixth in the 08 Mountain States competition.
AND 2ND IN THE 09 MR & MS UTAH TALL FIGURE. YEAH BABY, YEAH!

What Aubrie Is Up To:

Aubrieupdated Fit Status "I've been sooo busy, ate a big mac, extra cardio and trying to catch up here. Sorry I'm slooow!"
Aubriechanged Overall Goal: "Keep it CLASSY-Keep it REAL-Push Past My Limits and NEVER DOUBT! Never look down on a person unless you are helping them up.."
Because he is my man, he pushes me and I appreciate it everytime he does. He knows I have no limits and he pushes me past the ones I think I may have. Love you!
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

RE: your fit status...it's good to hear somebody else cheats once in a while and has some fast food! LOL Personally, I'm a sucker for Taco Bell. It's my monthly cheat food!

Hey Aubrie i was just reading your story on how you started and i liked it, I also grew up around a bunch of family that ate really bad. I always stayed in better shape than them until my last gf who cooked bad and thats how my before pics came to be me, but since we split well u can see i cook for me now. And also u look awesome keep up the great work.
