When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
Growing up, I was always active. Played baseball for a lot of years and ran cross country. I had a physically demanding job, so that always helped stay trim and muscular.
In January 2002, I had a work accident and lost a lot of that muscle, due to inactivity for 7 months.
In 2003, I had a child later on that year. I gained a lot of weight. I went from 120lbs to 194lbs. I stayed that way for a long time.
In 2007 I lost some of the weight I had put on, but was still pretty gross. I finally got sick of looking that way and feeling like garbage. So, I joined a local gym.
Mostly thanks to my family support and self determination, I know my way around the gym, and am confident in it. I dropped all the weight that I had gained, and then some. Trading the fat off for some hot muscle and a ton of confidence that I never knew I had. Now it is a way of life and not just a goal any more. I live for this now and could not imagine my life with out it.
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel. I love the rush I get from lifting the weights and seeing how far I can push myself each time I work out. Wondering if I can do more than the last time. I love the improvements it has made to not only my body but my whole attitude in general. I feel like a whole new person now.
How I Stay Motivated:
How can you not? Seeing the changes that have occurred in the last year, I can't help but stay motivated all the time. Although I think that 'fat' pics I have on the fridge help when I go to reach for the ice cream and cookies, lol.
BB Accomplishments:
Aside from losing almost 80lbs, none yet. We'll see come 2010 if I have anything to post in this space :) Fingers crossed!!!

Goal (Long):
I want to tone and define my body. I am currently at my ideal size, just need to define it. I am hoping to compete in the figure competition in 2010 in Edmonton, Alberta. It will be my first competition, so it's going to be a huge learning experience that I look forward to.
Today was leg and ab day. I'm on the leg press with 360lbs plus whatever the bar itself weighs. Onto my second set and about half way through, some lady feels it necessary to interrupt me halfway through to tell me about push ups!? Why do people do that? Way to ruin a good set. Still...
For the first time in 8 or 9 years, I Deadlifted for sets yesterday. Didn't get injured while doing it and my back isn't killing me today, so things are well. Looking forward to having Deads back in my routine and continuing to "rehab" my herniated disks!
