My dad has worked out since I was young, so I grew up watching him. Towards the end of college, I got bored with my school work and started reading fitness books instead.
Why I Love It:
Regardless of what else is happening in my life, I can always rely on working out. It's the one thing I have control over and will give back to me whatever I've given to it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I got to a point where my own mom told me that I'd become altogether unrecognizable. I remember how bad it felt to realize that I was less than what I could've been.

To never eat cheat foods again...no alcohol, desserts, or meals out...details on my blog. DO WORK CREW!
Goal (Long):
To maintain 135 pounds or less. To control food rather than letting it control me. To leave running in the past. To be grateful for everything I have and for where I've come from. To start my own family and be a mom. To tear apart and rebuild myself if I become mediocre–and be miserable until I do.
Jeff's one of my best buddies on here...always there when I need another Type A Personality to chat with LOL And if I don't watch out, he's gonna break all my running records :)
Until recently, I was always consistent with my workouts but never with my eating. Between April and August of this year, I ran one full marathon and five half marathons but also gained twenty pounds at the same time. I was simply eating too many calories–mostly from desserts and restaurant...
hey girl!! workout this morning, that was prettty much the highlight of my day...lol just home getting ready for a party later with the family, so alot of cleaning up around here, its still early so its all good..haha what r u up to??
It's true, I do a lot of talking, but that's only because I can back it up. Don't worry about Money, his loss is a lock. I've already placed some bets. As for the progress pics, just be patient, I can still lean out a little more. Just a few minutes ago I was talking with my sister about how awesome my tibialis muscles look.
Getting snowed in today. Looks like I will be working in the basement. Things are going well. Wife is baking though....bad, so bad. I will have to summon up some will power.
You too Genie, keep doing what you have been doing and trust me you are not!!! crazy, just driving. I said it before never lose it, your kids will grow to be proud of you:)
Happy Holiday!
Randy
