"In the next 28 days i want to lose 10 pounds...get as close to 15% bodyfat as possible or lower..."
Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
Shari
Sex:
Female
Age:
30
Location:
Canada
Occupation:
beginning to study this year for BA in psychology...then to my Naturopathic Doctor degree and Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture and Masters and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
im just restarting after a long hiatus after my last big step...i lost about 55 pds from december of 2005 to april of 2006...i was settled between 145-148 but no muscle tone and flabby so thats my next goal, hitting the gym hardcore again to firm up, gain some strength...my goal is from Thursday, April 24, 2008 to Thursday, May 22, 2008...4 weeks!!! ill post before and after pics when im done...i want to see how far i can push myself and what i can accomplish when i set my mind to it
Why I Love It:
i love how it makes me feel, strong, determined, energetic...i love how i feel in the gym, i physically feel my body working and progressing...i love when people notice my accomplishments before i do...
How I Stay Motivated:
i get motivated by thinking of what i can offer my kids, u dont have to settle for what life has handed you, you can change it, i dont want my lack of self confidence overshadowing the time i can spend with my kids, i want to take them swimming and out playing etc with confidence, not worrying about how i look or how bad my health is
BB Accomplishments:
my entire weight loss has been almost 100 pounds...i packed on the weight from a depo birth control shot, depression, ocd/anxiety and an abusive relationship and pregnancies...ive left the abuse, am rebuilding my emotional life with alot of hard work and rebuilding my self esteem...i stay off the birth control and am adopting a more natural style of living, ...the biggest challenge ive faced is trying to train in the face of huge bouts of anxiety/ocd...i wont get into details but its debilitating when it happens, i commend anyone who pulls through cognitive distortions and physical disabilities to better themselves...

Progress Pictures
This member has not uploaded any progress pictures yet.
In the next 28 days i want to lose 10 pounds...get as close to 15% bodyfat as possible or lower...
Goal (Long):
My chest and tricpes and shoulders are the weakest, completely out of balance with my back and biceps, so im working on evening out my muscle strength thoughout my body, circuit training for weights 4x a week, abs 4x a week...cardio six days a week, alternating diff types of cardio (bootcamp, kickboxing, dance, HIIT etc) for a minimum of 20 - 30 mins each session...pilates six days a week
also concentrating on relaxing my mind and increasing flexibility in my body with yoga seven days a week, 45-60 mins a session...this is very important to my peace of mind and flexibility
i want to get down to around 135 and lower bodyfat to around 15
To Fitness model and start an inspiration program for women who dont think they can do achieve anything physically or mentally...the frumpy feeling housewives, the meek shy girls, the depressed, the lonely, the mothers who time have forgotten...the biggest thing i want women to know is u dont have to have a perfect body as long as ur happy and healthy in the one you have...if that happens, its perfect for you!!
i want men to understand one thing too...dont ever judge a woman by who she is on the outside, u dont know the kind of woman hiding on the inside and what u might be missing out on...i didnt even get glances when i weighed over 230 pds, life circumstnaces etc is what got me there, but inside i was the same person i am now, and now i get guys attention left and right, but it means nothing to me...the ones who had my back when i was at my lowest, will reap the benefits when im at my best...im not talking about the heavy people who look slobbish cause they just dont take care of themselves, dirty, etc...u can have bigger beautiful healthy women too...
Lets see how long i can remember to blog for this time LOL
well ive been really lazy lately, not keeping to what i say i'm going to do and i got a kick from fate this morning which was nice...i woke up about 4:30 with sore eyes because i forgot to take my contacts out...and ive been wanting...
This is a sample day of my program, ill be doing this six days a week with one body part a day and ab training four days a week
ive designed this program to keep my metabolism reved up and my interest peaked as well as balancing my body strength, i have extra exercises for chest, tricep...
Shari, thanks so much for the add. I'm really impressed at how well you have done with your training...congrats to that! You look great and you have come such a long way with the pregnancy and relationship that you deserve for some really good things to happen so i'm happy for you. Keep your head up and always train hard!
Maybe when you achieve all that you have planned you can help me get rid of the incredible phantom pain I have every day, 24/7 except when I lift weights.
I wish you success with all of your goals.

Its not going as well as I had hoped. Life is getting in the way (stress and moving). But things like that will always happen, so I need to find a way to work with it! How about you?
