When I Started:
Jul, 2007
How I Started:
I've always been a powerful girl. My parents used to call me Bam-Bam because I would crawl under my bed and lift it on my back.
As I got older, I studied martial arts 6 days a week and worked out like fiend. Then things changed and I realized that "real girls" don't have muscles. All of my muscle went to fat and I became a modern American woman; size 14-18 and sedated on Krispy Kremes.
When 9-11 happened, I had no choice but to enlist to serve my country. Working out is just a natural part of the job.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling I get when I see the cuts in my abdomen and arms. I love knowing that I can physically compete with some of the Infantrymen in other units. And if push comes to shove, I know that my training makes me a better soldier and fighter.
How I Stay Motivated:
I need all the motivation I can get. Waking up at 0400 to work out for two hours before work-call is a bitch but I tell myself that I'm disciplined and smart and I can sleep when I'm dead. Working out is non-negotiable.

I want to lose 30 pounds of fat before September 15, 2007 and 65 lbs altogether before February 2008. I must remain at that weight forever.
Goal (Long):
The first week of September is the promotion board. I had been training and losing weight for a long time but my foot surgery put me out of commission as did the training TDYs. I gained back half of what I'd lost and my muscle tone is all but gone. I hadn't even met my goal weight yet. Now I'm up for promotion and a new job at in Europe. I have to look fit to fight and be slim and trim. There's no getting around this problem now. It's time to step it up and do it right.
That means losing 30 pounds as soon as possible and 65 pounds to be really perfect. I can do it. I have already done what was supposed to be impossible. I was the only female carpenter in my local, and in the city for that matter. I enlisted in the Army at the age of 34 and I smoked all those high speed kids. I'm one of the few women in the world who has trained with the Green Berets and Rangers. I am blessed in a thousand ways because I work my ass off.
I can take this weight off but I need to find the right way for me.
I'm not afraid of work. I'm not afraid to sweat or break a nail.
I'm terrified of failure. I'm scared of being told I'm not good enough because my waist is too thick. This is not an option.
In addition to being THE cable monkey in my unit, I'm also the mail clerk de facto. I was dragging ass after lunch so I decided to get up and move it before it conjoined my chair. I never get mail unless a shipment I ordered comes in. Today was no different except...
My workout program is under constant revision. I'm still in the process of taking my physical fitness as a serious job. Please feel free to offer advice or guidance.
I generally wake up at 0400 and try to eat a small bowl of oatmeal and a bottle of water as I'm also trying to take...
Hey Girl,
How have you been? Haven't heard from you in some time. Talk to me sometimes. Take care and keep up that workout. AWESOME Stats and lifting Max.
After reading your profile and what you've accomplished you definitely sound like you have the dedication to reach all your goals! :) P.S. Don't be afraid to fail. Just keep trying until you find what works for you! I like this quote :)
