When I Started:
Sep, 2006
How I Started:
I use to tag along with my boyfriend to his buddy's gym when I was in my 20's but never really had to work to look good. After having a baby that all changed. Now that my daughter is older, I want my body back. A year ago, we had a "weight contest" I've won 2 times and lost a total of 27lbs. So now I need to start working on my muscle tone and adding back muscle that I haven't used in years. I want to look better than I did before I had my daughter.
Why I Love It:
I can't say that I love working out, because I've never really tried. But I know I love a challenge and I'm really good with setting and meeting goals, so I'm sure it will be great.
How I Stay Motivated:
Every morning I get dressed reminds me of what I look like now, what I use to look like and what I want to look like and with those ideas in my mind I can stay on track. Also, making sure I have short, medium and long term goals set and written down is extremely helpful
BB Accomplishments:
As a beginner, I have nothing. But I hope too in the future

This is one of the very few pictures taken in the last 9.5 years. I'm just not use to seeing what I really looked like.
I really don't like any of the pictures I took. I was hoping to see a lot more improvement.
What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
This is such a female way to think of this, but I find that if I like my workout clothes, I am more excited than if I know I'm just going in old t-shirt and sweats. Not that they have to be new or fashionable, just nice & comfortable. (colors help) Then I think about what I want to work on changing the most and what I need to do when I get to the gym.This is such a female way to think of this, but I find that if I like my workout clothes, I am more excited than if I know I'm just going in old t-shirt and sweats.

for health reasons I have been out of the gym for almost 3 months now, and won't be able to return until the middle of Aug. after surgery. It's very frustrating. I've found that I really enjoy going to the gym and being able to release a lot of energy, not to mention all the diet and...
Oh sister.ya gotta do cardio after weights! The cardio lowers you natural human growth hormone levels and you cant grow muscle as well. The chick who had been in nationals didnt have to wipe everyone out of every class, thats just greedy of her. Plus she had big implants and a tummy tuck.we were all like "holy crap"
