"No more patheticness. 30 days, people! You hear me??.......9/27"

Occupation: Stay at home mom

Gym Location: New England
When I Started: Mar, 2008
How I Started: Rachel McLish is who really got me interested in wanting to learn about body building, but I never did anything to create that kind of physique.
I was always active and athletic, so I never worried about what I ate.
I let myself go for a while after I graduated college. Continuing to eat crap, not exercising as much as I used to, plus, being a graphic artist sitting at a computer for 9 hours a day did a great job at helping me gain 20 pounds. I got into shape off and on over the years, but was never consistent. After I had my 3 kids, I wanted my body back, and I wanted to fulfill a dream I had which was to compete in a triathlon. I trained for 6 months and I finished one in June 2007. So, after realizing I could accomplish something like that, I have the confidence to accomplish the other dream I've always had which is to have a lean and defined physique rather than a soft looking physique.
Why I Love It: I love the rush after I've put in a good workout.
How I Stay Motivated: My husband's tenacity with staying on a daily strength training schedule is a major motivator....he sets a great example. I have to visualize the body I want daily and I constantly remind myself about the feeling I have after working out. Laziness sometimes feels too good if you don't remind yourself that the endorphin fix you get after a workout feels much better!

Left Tricep
This is what I'm starting out with. There's a bicep under there somewhere.  This by no means is meant to show progress. I just didn't have a shot of triceps for a starting point. More pics to come at the end of September.

I've got to split up my circuit routine.  I made sure to time myself this time to see how long it takes to get through at least one set.  Without stopping every few exercises to check emails, Facebook, etc., it took too long!  I'd never be able to get through 3 sets in the free time I'll have...

My kids have a funny way of making me slow down. My youngest hurt his toe last night so he can't go to daycare. I have to stay home with him until mom goes to work. I'll only mis 3 hours of work but that will take me from 15hrs to 12 and I'm sure my body will appreciate it.

Again, thank you. I still have alot of areas I need to work on tho before I begin trying to add mass. I have a very vivid picture of what I wanna look like in my head and I won't stop until I achieve it, then maybe I can be content on some level

Keep "patheticness" in there. You can use it as a daily motivator, esp for those days you have cravings & don't feel like eating clean or working out. You can remember how ornery you felt. (Be sure your 30-day goal is realistic. Make it a stretch goal, but attainable) Good luck. You can do it.
