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!

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!

Kicking the @*%$ out of fat, one day at a time!
The photos taken on this vacation were the catalyst that got me going on getting into better shape. In this photo I maxed out at 175 lbs.

Wow! What more can I say. This girl does some crazy lifts, awesome muscle! Some day I'll dead lift 365 lbs too....in my dreams. She's just set the bar a whole lot higher for me.
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...
Thank you! I do figure comps-did 4 last year & qualified for nationals. This is my off-season to build lean mass...the national level is a whole different ball game w/the muscle symetry :)
I love your Fit Status remark -- "Stark raving mad for the gym! RAAWWWRRR!". Great attitude! Really motivates me to work harder. That's how I want to approach each workout. So just wanted to say Thanks!
