We had a Biggest Loser contest with the staff members of my school. I started reading a lot of magazines and really began setting personal goals.
Why I Love It:
It's the one part of my life that I feel I have complete control over. I make the choices about what fuel to use and which weights to lift. I'm a control-freak and it suits me to a T!
How I Stay Motivated:
I'm not gonna lie... my guys keep me motivated. They question me when I'm missing from the weight room and have honest discussions with me about every aspect of training. They've made me a member of their "club"... and it's nice to be the only girl invited!
BB Accomplishments:
Losing 7" on my waist in 5 months
Forum Signature:
Learning to count is good. Learning what counts in life is greater.
Why? What are the pros and cons of working out there?
Because I compartmentalize my life. I can't workout at home, that's the place where I relax. I can't relax at the gym, that's the place where I workout. The two aren't interchangeable.

Don't really know. I belong to my gym because I get a 20% discount for working for the school district. :-) As a single mom paying for the whole family, that means a lot to me. However, I do like that they have EVERY different piece of equipment that you'd need. And you are free to move it around to suit your tastes and needs. Don't really know.

I can breathe! In more ways than one! Literally, I can breathe now. I still get hitched up when I get to breathing deeply, but I'm not coughing just at any time anymore. Yay!
I can breathe at work. Knowing that this child is no longer going to be a member of our class is incredibly...
I've never tried them. It's hard for me to run like hell since my back surgery. Nerve damage in my ankle and foot. Once I really thought about it, I figured it out. I've been eating like a fat pig lately and only geting to the gym 2 to 3 days a week. Driving all over doing track inspections is killing me..
Next? I've actually started my prep for the May contest, which is now 27 weeks away. I'm mass building for 16 weeks, using a strength program for density. I'll then have 12 weeks to cut again. Fun!
