Background

When I Started: Jan 1994
HOW I STARTED:

I grew up playing basketball and living on a cattle ranch in MT. I have always been athletic, then sometime during my Senior year in high school, I became interested in weight lifting. I started getting serious about it when I was 19 years old, I was a vegetarian trying to gain muscle...... I continued to workout, then incorporated chicken and fish back into my diet and dreamed about being a figure competitor. Then one day I decided, "Now is my time."

WHY I LOVE IT:

It is the ONE thing that only I have 100% control over. It makes me feel great, boosts my self esteem and I like that it is a sport I can do on my own, I am intensely private. I love to jam on a baseball cap, noise-reduction headphones and some good rock music to get me through my routine. What is especially great is when I DON'T want to go to the gym, but I drag myself there and afterward I say to myself, "YOU DID IT!" Very rewarding.

Her bravery to take adversity and turn it into something positive. I always like to make a come back and that is what this she is set out to do and that inspires me.

I am inspired because we are close in age and height and it helps me to visualize what I can work towards. It is great to find other tall fit women!!

Hello Friends!


God is doing amazing things in my life, thank you Jesus.


My motivation level is off the charts, my drive is almost more than I can handle. I am having a great time training and dieting and my focus is a laser sharp. I will transform.


I journal everything...training, food, feelings, thoughts. I love going to my book all the time and writing things down. It helps to keep me focused and accountable.


Soon I will be posting progress photos, stay tuned.


God Bless

Hi Everyone!


 Wow, looking at my last blog I was so wrong. I have gone through the hardest time in my life. The lowest point in my life. 


A little background, my husband and I started having marital problems a couple of years ago and I dealt with it by working obsessively, working out and drinking. I competed in a couple of competitions and then my marriage got worse (not related to fitness). He moved out of our house NINE times, just to come back and move out again. The emotional roller coaster was unbearable.

A New Year! A New Me!

Posted in Training  :  Jan 02, 2011 6:49pm
Wow, my husband moved out 4 times this past year (home now), job was incredibly stressful and I simply just didn't give a damn. Therefore, the consequences were putting on the most weight in my life. I knew I didn't care because I knew this was short-lived and that the weight will come off when I try...just more than I bargained for. Home life is very challenging and I have decided that the only way to combat the stress is to not pick up the bottle, but get my butt to the gym and work out the stress on dumbbells. I found myself trying to start every Monday just to peter out by Wednesday (usual...
