Overall Goal: My main fitness goal at this point is to work on toning and muscle definition (particularly abs).

Feeling fit, but starting to think bb.com is not the place for me :( *sigh*.

When I Started:
How I Started:
I have always been active. I started doing sports in middle school... running, soccer and basketball. In high school I did gymnastics and finally went to state my senior year. Now I'm a mother and wife who has an interest in working out and keeping healthy & fit.
Why I Love It:
I don't necessarily "love" working out, but I do love the way it makes me feel so I guess that is what keeps me going back for more!
How I Stay Motivated:
Honestly, I don't want to be over 115 lbs so whenever I see that scale slipping up I know I need to stop eating the crap and get off my lazy bum.
BB Accomplishments:
I guess my biggest accomplishment would be losing all the weight after my pregnancy. I got up to 156lbs, and within 6 months I was back down to under 115.

Do you monitor your heart rate while doing cardio?
Yes
Do you use a heart rate monitor? Which one?
I don't really "monitor", but I do check it from time to time out of curiosity.
What heart rate do you aim for while doing cardio? Why?
I aim for a high heart rate. That means I'm working hard.

What is your cardio exercise plan?
Walk a few miles, run for as long as I can stand, walk, run some more, cool down. Occasionally I do the bike or elliptical just to supplement my running and to switch up my routine.

What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
Apparently I'm not very good at blogging on weekends so I guess I'll have to do some back pedaling...
Friday I had one of the best workouts ever. I ate half of double bacon cheese burger (which I took off the bacon and gave to my husband) from A&W for lunch so I was feeling pretty...
Married to a seaman, huh? That is cool. I grew up near a couple naval stations in WA. Italy would be incredible to live in!! I loved it there! What are you up to? How is training?
I would love to go to Rome!!! I loved Italy. Germany is great and I wouldn't mind a trade. Europe is amazing! How long have u been in Italy? Is your hubby in the AIr Force or Army? I am Army. :)
Hey you hows everything coming along??? I need a vacation!! love the new progress pics, the one int he red is the best one :):):) very nice! you ever need help with the training and puttin on some muscles and definition(feminine of coarse) let me know!! :)

Ive been in sicily for about 19 months now. Im alone here and my son is in the states :( it sucks!! but i love this place actually except for the fact its like a high school haha. Im going to rome for Memorial day weekend actually i cant wait, you and your man should come up there, hit up a pub crawl....
Yes yes i am i am in the Navy a Seabee. stationed in Sigonella, WOW thats awesome im actually frequently going to naples, i love the gym there, they actually have chaulk hahaha. i like the gym there and the NEX is WAYYYY better than here!
Not at all the point is to switch it up..you need to constantly change up your routine for abs(thats usually where i come in) your abs are like running...when you first run alot, your legs hurt but after a while, they dont, they get stronger, you get faster, and leaner....abs are the same...
