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 competed. 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.
Why I Love It:
Gives me a sense of accomplishment.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB.com. Just knowing this is what I have to do to provide me with the best quality of life now and in the years to come.
BB Accomplishments:
12/08 I did 500 REAL pushups in 1 hour 45 minutes (next goal is to beat time). ------ 3/2/09 500 pushups in 1 hour 18 minutes. 3/3/09 500 squats 17 minutes. 3/5/09 250 pullups in 2 hours 2 minutes. 3/6/09 1/4 mile walking lunges 21 minutes. ------ 6/29/09 500 pushups in 58 minutes. 6/30/09 1,000 squats in 29 minutes. 7/2/09 250 pullups in 58 minutes. 7/3/09 1/2 mile walking lunges in 28 minutes.

Members That Inspire ShanBL:
frogprincess72 [ BodySpace ]
Lil Miss FP inspired way long ago back when I first joined here. She whispered in my ear "Do another triathlon" and I said NO WAY. But that whisper stayed with me and seeing how she ran and ran, the inspiration kept building to where maybe, just maybe, I'll do another race. Maybe a duathlon is a good compromise.
cwpullups [ BodySpace ]
Name one person, woman or man, who can do as many pullups as she's done. She has class, strength, and beauty. Much to be inspired by.

Why is it I can never come up with a smart a** remark when faced with the need to do so????

I went to the gym by myself last night.  The first order of business was to do 3 sets of 25 box squats.

I go as heavy as I can with those.  I raised the weight from what I did last week so I...

Ok, did the Hell Week walking lunges this morning - 900 of them. Took 23 minutes. It wasn't as debilitating as I thought it would be, but I'm already feeling it right after doing it...

My Brazilian (head hair not pubic) should be good for another two months. Eyebrows will need another shaping between now and then but are good for tomorrow. For the chest I'll stick with the tried and true Gillette mac 3. LOL.

I've had mine Halle Berry short before too. Which wouldn't have been bad if I hadn't been 45 pounds overweight!! That is NOT a good look when you have added poundage! :-) I almost told my stylist that I was going to be wimpy and cut a little tiny bit off at a time, but figured I should suck it up and get the damaged stuff off so I could start with healthy hair. It's a good thing I have a sassy attitude, cause I need it to pull this look off! :-) I will take pics this weekend.

Picture and essay only to pick the semi-finalist 60. Then after that, they will interview and go over the final 60 with a fine tooth comb. So if I make the semi finals, I will be nervous then. Already thing of what to wear (seriously). By the way, I'm kind of a nervous right now, I thought I wasn't but I am. LOL. :-o

[sigh] yep... I needed to get rid of all the damaged stuff, which meant going much shorter than I wanted to, so I am pouting today. :-(

Thanks for asking. Hell no! I spent 25 years presenting adverting to hostile clients where ONE bad meeting could cost you your job. The way I look at it is I am now in the best shape of my life. Anything after that is gravy (Fat free of course). I can't wait to have chicken cutlet Parmesan (Oh Jesus, I shouldn't have said that...Oh, my stomach!)and baked Barilla plus ziti tomorrow (No...Grilled veal chops... No...Homemade salmon pizza...No...I...I can't decide).

Uggggghhhh... I'm having a "tight jeans" day! I accidentally put on a pair of my daughter jeans (which is kind of nice in a way, but after eating breakfast, snack, and lunch they are uncomfortable) :-(

Very nice! :) My day has been ok, just ran to the store (as usual) while my daughter had school. I have to get my son into the dr since he can't seem to get rid of his cold. I called them earlier this week b/c I KNOW he has a sinus infection and needs an antibiotic...but they said to give it time. It has already been 2 f-ing weeks! Poor guy...so finally they want to see him. Grrrr. Annoyed. But oh well.

Great! That timing should match nicely with the end of my 20 Chin-Ups program I'm on now. That leg work in particular is going to be rough...

I'm sure you can find a way to control your envy. Alcohol and hard drugs can help. have a great one.

Ok, found your blogs from March - that was your last Hell Week? Didn't seem like that long ago. Perhaps I'll try a mock-run of the squats and lunges tomorrow morning instead of my normal leg workout, and see if my legs are anywhere close to being able to do that...

When is your next Hell Week planned for? I'll have to dig back through your blog to see what exercises you did. If I recall you had a day for each of: push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, and something else? Hmph, senility is in full swing here.
