When I Started:
Mar, 1999
How I Started:
When I was 14, gained about 50 pounds...didn't realize it until i was weighed at the Doctor's office. I was regularly 155 pounds at 5'9, clocked in at 213 pounds! I instantly started reading on fitness, changed my diet by cutting out foods like white bread/pasta and mayonnaise, and doing taebo at least 4 days a week. I developed a passion for fitness, and I have been hooked ever since.
Why I Love It:
Working out helps me relieve stress, and not to mention gives me a sense of accomplishment after every work out. I constantly challenge myself to see how far I can go and how much my body can do. The benefits of exercise helps me as a capoeirista, a dancer, and with my internal and external beauty. I also love being one of few girls that can hold my own in the weight room;)
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by writing a list of the reasons i need to be consistent with fitness, like my career, self-esteem, long-term health,etc. I also know that I hate the feeling of waking up after I missed a day of exercise, and the feeling of regret knowimg that I could have been one day closer to my goal. I also keep pics of ads/features of fitness women who reflect my ultimate goal. Whenever I feel that I am lacking motivation, I look at those pics.

Taken approximately September 15th. Time to make things happen.
After a month of off and on routines, this is what we get. Have been lifting heavy, about to see what a months of circuits can do to my body, and work on my four CONSECUTIVE weeks of 5 days of cardio.
Sculpt the body into the new ideal masterpiece, and achieve more growth and success in 2009
Goal (Long):
I want to burn fat and increase lean body mass to be a more svelte personal trainer, better dancer, and better capoeirista. I also would like to use my height and physique for some fitness modeling.
I have seen her consistency and drive over a long period of time. She keeps going! Eliminates a common excuse that people use, saying only celebrities can attain bodies of excellence.
She is a powerful woman, mother, and now TOP TIER COMPETITOR! Not to mention a positive force to achieve maximum results.
So, about a month of my Goal Training has went by, and I know that i can do way better. I have had 5 weeks pass where one week i'll go in for five days of strict training, then the next week will be 3, next week 4, following week 2, etc. I have seen results, but the results are not as...
Thanks, I appreciate that you accepted my friend invite. Best of luck to you in accomplishing all your health and fitness goals. Take care and have a great weekend.
Training is going well. I think I had a 7 and 8 week out slump--tired and had to really kick my own butt to train. But I think I am getting my mojo back, quitting is just not an option. I got people in the audience, suits on the way, and shoes to break in. Today, I saw the difference a tan can make, so I am really excited. How are you? How is the training going for that March comnpetition?
Would the last couple of days happen to be low carb days? Man, I am carb cycling and doing 3 low days, followed by one hi-carb day--and on the low days (like today) all I can think about is cereal and oatmeal. We can do this! Have you ordered your suit, yet?
hey beautiful! things here are coming along! i am considering a show in November! The more i think and pray about it...the more i feel like i need to do it! good luck!!!! be blessed! :)
Yep. 10 circuits of 3-4 excercises. It usually takes me close to an hour. You are doing cardio during a second workout session 2-3 days per week? I think I need to up the cardio.
Okay--so we have got to keep each other on track so we can hit the stage in October looking fly! Right now, my PT has me doing 10 circuits of 3-4 exercises--a complete shock to my body. But it's doing something and has me hungry as heck! How about yourself?
