I was tired of being fat and wanted to look and feel better for myself and my son. I also needed another way to deal with the stresses of deployment/work.
Why I Love It:
I feel like a different person every time I walk out of that gym. It's my stress reliever. I give it all that I have for that day and it's beginning to really show. It also makes me feel good when someone asks for help/advice.
How I Stay Motivated:
This was how I felt in the beginning:
Wanting to be a better ME because theres always room for improvement. It also feels good knowing that my kid thinks that working out is cool and being the COOL MOM is AWESOME!!!
This is how I feel now:
The support I get from my AWESOME son as well as my friends here and everywhere else. On this site I've noticed that the most Phenominal physiques I've ever seen are of women that are 35+. That is OUTSTANDING!!!
BB Accomplishments:
The first time I saw my 6. I was grinning ear to ear and all I wanted to do was wear a swimsuit for the rest of that day...but it was cold. :-( HAHA!!!
