The challenge of lifting heavier weight, and to improve my body! At 43 yoa you need to continue to challenge yourself!
How I Stay Motivated:
The way I stay motivated is by always trying to better myself as a person, a mother, and a wife, first and foremost. Then there's athletics. I love the thrill of competition! I always want to do my best! First to continue to improve my body, second to compete at the highest level my body will allow!
I have competed in gymnastics, swimming, powerlifting (raw, and equipped),figure, and bodybuilding. Have plans of doing a Strong woman, and a Highland Game events by year end!
But, I am a powerlifter at heart, and live to lift heavy! Always striving to hit a larger number in a meet or in training!
On Oct 4, I put together by largest total so far (equipped), weighing in at 146lbs. I squatted 575lbs. benched 270lbs, and deadlifted 475lbs. for a 1320 total.
Then on the flip side. I have just recently started competing in BB/Figure and really love atmosphere, and camaraderie!
I am definitely hooked!!!!
That is how I stay motivated! Always wanting to improve myself as a person, make a PR lift, or the next show to celebrate all my hard work in training!
REMEMBER: "Strong is the new Sexy!"

I wish I could make it back to the RAW Natls, but living in Europe makes it tough to get back to the states. And being in the military adds to the difficulty of getting time off. I also need to start cutting down for a couple of pro-shows next year. You are really awesome! I wish more people would give back to the younger generations.
Hi Carol! Are you going to hit up any of the lifting events at the Arnold Fitness Weekend next March? I just got invited back to do the Raw Challenge again this year. It'd be cool to see you hoisting some big numbers at any event!
