When I Started:
May, 2008
How I Started:
I had a partial hysterectomy in February 08, and also had a lump in one of my breasts. After putting it off for 2 years, I decided to have a mammogram. The results were the lump was fine, the opposite breast however had fibrous tissue, and I need to have a 6 month check-up. The doctor said that I could cut my chances in half of developing breast cancer if I lost at least 40 lbs. He said "You are technically obese!" That was it! I joined my local gym, cut out fat, pop, sugar, processed foods. I began doing cardio 4 days/week, bought an elliptical, and began weight training in May. 7 weeks ago, I hired a personal trainer, and we've been working on getting me lean. I would love to fitness model (for my age group). So, for now, that's my goal. To lose another 7-10lbs of body fat, and get mean, lean, muscle! I'm liking the results so far.
Why I Love It:
It gives me super energy. I feel 100% better about my life, and about myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
I go to the gym everyday, read Muscle & Fitness Hers, and call my trainer when I need motivation!
BB Accomplishments:
Placed 8th at OCB Circle City May 30th, 2009. Division Novice Figure Class I. Trained 7 weeks for this first one...Sept 26th, I'm there!
