In 2007 I was a full-time mum to 2 gorgeous littlies, a wife and working part-time. I eventually got to the point where I had been doing everything for everybody else and I had literally fallen by the wayside. This is when I thought 'enough is enough'.....and I embarked on a 12 week bodyblitz journey. I had previously been a cardio queen and had not bothered with weights..........but now I absolutely LOVE lifting.
Why I Love It:
I love what weights have done (and can do) to sculpt my body. I have learnt that weights are the true and only things that will change the shape of my body!!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
I love browsing magazines and this website and learning more and more about lifting weights. Initially Melita Jagic was my inspiration. I still love and admire her physique, but now it is more about doing it for myself.
BB Accomplishments:
No big out-there claims to fame yet......but my biggest personal accomplishment was reaching 19%BF in October 2008.
Forum Signature:
That, that don't kill ya.....will only make you stronger!
This was taken in Sept 2007 before I started my first 12 week body blitz. I could not believe how bad I looked and how much I had neglected myself. It was time to do something about this!!
Great trainer...check...motivation...check...f amily support...check...standing on an Aussie stage in 2010.....PRICELESS!!!!!!
Goal (Long):
Well, I got certified, so I can tick that one off! I have battled illness and am on the rise again. Dare I say that 'competing' could be my ultimate goal!
Everything is at a standstill at the moment. Nutrition is trashy and workouts are scarce. I was on a roll. I was so focused on my training that I even scared myself sometimes....and I was achieving great results. For the first time, in a long time, I was on the road to success (I could...
hey ren, which comp are you entering? i want to do inba, anb and nabba/wff in either september 2010 or may 2011. hope you're reaching all your goals. :)
LOL!!! I know that feeling... should I shouldn't I can I?? I LOVE training legs ECEPT Hammies cause i am wek in those... SO my new goal is to train them and love them!!! Let me know how you go with Kel. Sometimes she can be a little slow answering emails... If you want to email me on w1tchazel@bigpond.com I will give you her ph numbers...
Hey... Yeah I lift heavy in the off season and Love IT!!! I always work at increasing my weights in at least one exercise per body part each week. I do the same exercises when getting ready for comp but increase the reps to 20 for every exercise, so the weights drop a little but not much.
Yes I do my own training regime, 6 day split usually just so I can fit it in before work.. Now that the comps are over I will be doing 3 night cardios rather than every morning so I won't have to get up at 4am anymore, wow I get to sleep in till 5am LOL!!!
I used Kelli Johnson she is on the SUnshine Coast, I dont train with her just go in for diet and contest prep. She knows her stuff inside out and backwards... her website is http://www.enhancedperformance group.c om/ she is lovely!!!
Hehehe I eat more but stick to the same food really, I am just so used to preparing those meals it is easier than trying to think of anything else LOL.
ANB Asia Pacific 2010 the day after my 50th birthday is next! Damn steamed chicken for my birthday dinner again!!!
Thank you!!! Yeah the medalis HUGE, you have to lift weights just to be able to keep your head up LOL!!! My daughter said I could eat off it if I was allowed to eat LOL
Thank you so much! I am starting to get nervous, but at the same time I am really looking forward to it!!!!! This was my big goal for the year so to just get on stage there is going to be great. thanx again
Thanx about the suit, would you believe my hubby put all the crystals on it for me LOL. No my trainer is Kelli Johnson, she is in Wytulla. She was the IFBB 2008 Miss Australia and is excellent. I am definitely doing the Olympia and start the prepartion at the end of July. Till then I am eating heaps and training heavy - YAY!
