When I Started:
May, 2009
How I Started:
I've had a gym membership for YEARS. My earlier focus was on CARDIO and the CLASSES...shyed away from the weights.
Why I Love It:
It's the BEST antidepressant!!! It gives me something tangible to hold onto as journey through this dark period.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look to other women on this site. The ones who have shared their transmformations and not just the results.
Mama died when she was 60. She did not get a chance to REALLY live and enjoy her life. She had been overweight for years which led to her diabetes, high blood pressure and other ailments. She had been depressed and some recent studies I've read reveal that "people who are depressed are much more likely to develop a dangerous type of internal body fat which may lead to diabetes and heart disease.:
BB Accomplishments:
June 09 - Making a decision to not take
the antidepressants that my
M.D. prescribed. Instead
made the decision to test
the theory that exercise and
eating healthy are the way to
improved mental health for
women of a 'certain age'.
(Anyone for that matter!)
July 09 - Creating this bodyspace.
July 09 - Down 14 1bs since May 09;

Bestabs inspires me because her moniker does fit: her abs are the BEST. One of her mottos is: "be the best YOU that you can be, not a replica of someone else." [sic] I like that, be the best me that I can be. Also have the "3 D's" posted above my stove. Thanks for your hardwork Trish.
