Overall Goal: Victory always starts in the head. It's a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing but obey.-Douchan Gersi. DO WORK!

Occupation:
Crazed body builder, works for hubby, happily married, mom of 3 teen+ boys. Gotta luv the males in my house!
I have been working out on and off for several years, but that all got put on the backburner for a few years by a demanding job. I have changed jobs and started working out with a vengence in May 2007. Got into kickboxing a year and a half ago and am totally addicted to it. Luv'n it!
Why I Love It:
I am amazed by the transformation I have been able to achieve. I believe you can achieve any goal if you really put your mind it. It also helps to enjoy it while your at it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I love reading about other BodySpace members' progress/motivation and just seeing my own results keeps me going. I like to reward myself when I reach goals too, though not through food. Maybe a hot new pair of jeans or some new workout gear!
BB Accomplishments:
Hey, I lost a lot of weight on my own! That's significant!

I love her, she's funny, down to earth and is a huge inspiration by showing that you can change your world and your body if you really want to! Go Fern!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I'd be thrilled to be able to do even a fraction of the pull-ups she can muster! Pull-ups and me have a ongoing battle and one day I'm it's going to go MY way! She's my HERO!
This morning when I woke I realized that every time I moved during my sleep I experienced Pain, everywhere. While sleeping seems to have helped it subside a bit, when I finally mustered the courage to move my body to get up there was a whole lotta Pain. Aching everywhere, head to toe, my...
Weight training on 4 days a week followed by 20 min HIIT on stationery bike (recovering from ham tear, this is the only cardio machine that works for me). Grouse Grind hike once a week in the warmer seasons, this is a one hour hard cardio in what is called "nature's stairmaster", trying to get...
