I weighed 155 lbs when I joined the military, and I wanted to slowly add muscle throughout the years. I did that and I am happy where I am now.
Why I Love It:
I truly love working out, it feels great. It is great for stress and I love to eat, so staying in good shape allows me to enjoy good food. Don't get me wrong, I do work my ass off, but I enjoy it and the benefits.
How I Stay Motivated:
Love the way it makes me feel, love the way I feel in my clothes and out of them.
BB Accomplishments:
Finally made it to 195 lbs in weight, my next one is to get back to 7% body fat without losing muscle.
Forum Signature:
The harder it is to get there, the more you appreciate the view.

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
I look in the mirror, and remind myself why I do this.
I also eat a banana, dink some fluids, and load up my I-POD with some good sounds.

What forearm workout has worked best for you?
Wrist curls with the bench press bar. I usually use the bar with 45lb plates only one on each side, and I try and do 4 sets of 10 reps. I save it for the end of my workout though, by the time I finish, I can't grip anything. Wrist curls with the bench press bar.

What leg workout has worked best for you?
I love squats, I usually do 4 sets of 8 regular squats, followed by 4 sets of 8 front squats, followed by 4 sets of 8 can't remember the correct name of these so I will just call them (seated squats), but on the smith machine with your feet as far forward as possible so as to be in a seated possition on the bottom of the rep. I also do 4 sets of 8 of squats with your feet and knees together. This really works the gluteus. I know most women normally do it, but I like this exercise. Anyway I do all of these back to back, works great.I love squats, I usually do 4 sets of 8 regular squats, followed by 4 sets of 8 front squats, followed by 4 sets of 8 can't remember the correct name of these so I will just call them (seated squats),...more
Overall it sounds like you did ok at the race. And thank you for the nice comment and compliment on my pics...again :) What is the web address for the race photos? If you feel you want to share it.
I'm with you on that one. I may complain at times, but I secretly love it. I feel like a really accomplished what I set out to do...build more muscle!!
Oh yes, I do remember you saying that. Well, that's the kind of job you don't mind having and to get paid for it!!!...WOO HOO! How did your team do and what is the website. I'd love to see the pics.
Thank you so much Guillermo. Positive comments are always so motivating and make me want more, more, MORE! lol. California must have been beautiful this time of year. I love California. I've been as far south as SanDiego and as far north as Mendocino. So pretty and so diverse. Nice that you got to see family, too. Did work go well for you?
I work the hell out of my back just because it's strong. My bf told me, "Whoa! your wings are really starting to show!" i didn't like that too much. I just don't like the look of it. I think it makes me look manly.
How's your progress?
Thank you for all the nice comments! You are the triple gift to women everywhere. Handsome, built, and kind. Keep up the great work, and thanks for the encouragement!
I absolutely LOVE Cali!! The weather there is so nice...much better than Texas! No trouble for me this weekend...I'm saving that up for my birthday coming up. Hee hee!
Well, good morning to you, cutie! I absolutely wore my self out last night...couldn't finish with the cardio. Went to the gym this morning though - kicked some butt!! What do you have going on this weekend?
Thank you for your compliment. No offense taken! I do write with a sense of humor, I'm a little twisted that way and I'm glad that shows through. Good luck on gaining muscle and thank you for reading up!
