When I Started:
Jun, 2008
How I Started:
I used to work out relatively hardcore when in the fire department. I recently returned to the States from overseas and was disgusted at how much weight I'd gained while abroad. That was really all it took.
Why I Love It:
Because this is my body, there are none like it and this one is mine. It's the only one I'll ever have and I'm nothing without it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I have no idea. Because this is my body, there are none like it....Just kidding. But seriously? I just want to do it for me. I won't let anyone else love my body so I guess that just leaves me.
BB Accomplishments:
Finishing the sets even when it hurts. That's not really major, but it's still an accomplishment.
Forum Signature:
This is MY body, it's the only one I'll ever have and I am nothing without it.
What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
You're going to think I'm crazy, or lying...but I really don't do desserts. Occasionally, I'll lose it and just HAVE to have some chocolate covered Hostess donut gems, and yes....I'm fully aware of how not even tasty they are. I blame this on being a woman. However.....we were saying "healthy" desserts. Honestly? I love fruit, so any kind of fruit with perhaps a dab of sour cream sweetened with Splenda. Or some, and hear me out on this....sugar-free Jello (any flavour) mixed with low-fat,non-dairy coffee creamer then chilled makes a delightfully creamy and low low fat and totally carb-free dessert. Yeah....I totally make this stuff up.You're going to think I'm crazy, or lying...but I really don't do desserts.

What are your secrets for making healthy food taste great?
I have 3 secrets. Garlic, onions, and salt. I DO use Sea salt, but I spare no pinches when it comes to garlic and onions. They belong in everything. Otherwise... I just experiment with herbs, spices, slat blends, pepper blends, actual peppers and other flavourful ingredients. Sometime you need add nothing at all.I have 3 secrets. Garlic, onions, and salt.

Where do you find healthy recipes to try?
I usually don't...I've been a hobbyist Chef for years and I genuinely enjoy what I like to call "Kitchen Chemistry". But I hate to shop. So I'll take an inventory of what I have in the pantry and the fridge and then devise my own recipe on the spot. I haven't starved to death yet, so my success rate is much higher than my failure rate.I usually don't...I've been a hobbyist Chef for years and I genuinely enjoy what I like to call "Kitchen Chemistry".

Okay...usually, my geekdom knows no boundaries...but I don't actually know what a "Blog" is. I think it's just something someone came up with to justify sharing their unasked-for opinions with thousands of people on the internet. If that is indeed the case...then I want to change...
My rotation works a little like this:
Mondays = Abs
Tuesdays = Glutes and Legs
Wednesdays = Upper Body
Thursdays = Abs
Fridays = Glutes and Legs
Saturdays = Upper Body
Sundays = Off
