My every summer home from college was spent working at a commercial bakery plant. Someone in the Quality Assurance lab got a crush on me and would deliver hot fresh baked goods to my desk. Something had to be done, so I joined Gold's Gym on their "home for college $99 deal" they had at the time. I didn't get along with my parents so after work, I'd spend more time at the gym than at home. After graduation and weird dietary experiments, stressful situations etc. I got back into fitness in a big way - now I'm always looking for new things to learn and bigger challenges. Sky's the limit!
Why I Love It:
I like being stronger, fitting into clothes well (though my shoulders and hips seem to not work well with most off the rack women's wear these days... grrrrr), its fun to accomplish small lifting goals and to see a positive progression
How I Stay Motivated:
Feeling better physically and feeling better about myself are the biggest motivators. I like to go out to the club and look good too. And if I can dance all night all the better!
Help me stay motivated Heehee:

Ok... part of the big booty is actually a shadow if you look at the photo closely. Oh wait, DON'T look too closely!!! I'm totally a work in progress here - it took a lot of nerve for me to put this in a public space!!! I'm at 130lbs here.
I can't believe how long it has been since I posted one of these pictures, gotta admit, I'm kinda embarrassed with the 2007 one....
Anyway, I'd like to give a big shout out to chin ups, kettlebells, and whey protein for all their help! :)
Gain muscle mass, functional strength, be at my physical best, motivate myself and others!
Goal (Long):
I don't really care what I weigh, but body composition is most important to me along with how my clothes look. Most local people think I looked just fine before working out and eating right, but I wasn't satisfied because I knew that I was capable of looking better and being stronger. I feel like I look my best at 16% bodyfat or below. When I moved down to Orlando, I got lazy and began to eat badly - its time to undo the damage and get back to where I am proud of how I look again. Now... let's get that booty fixed, shall we?
A good friend of mine has a goal of participating in the women's caber toss at the highland games, I need to find a fun goal like that too!

What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
Fruit! Or some of the strange tasty concoctions from Hungrygirl.com
So, the cardio-focused RKC of the group showed up this afternoon with a challenge for us - take a light KB and put it about 30 feet away from a heavier kettlebell, for instance, since this was cardio, I chose an 8K bell for the light one, and a 16K bell for the "heavy' one. Then she had us...
I'm currently all about the kettlebells! I'm not sure why they are so fun, but they are. I've worked out with traditional free weights and machines since 1996, but I like the fact that I can throw my whole "gym" in the trunk of my car and take it anywhere. My friends see them when they come...
More women need to look like you and less like thare idea of in shape requires chokolet and laxatives or a finger down thare throat. That is my subtal response!!! Good to here from you!
My older photos are also my progress pictures :) Please read also my comments ahead those photos (in the right order cause it's a continuing story).
All the best, Rene
