I had been lifting a little bit on and off before, but in July I really got into it and made it a serious part of my life.
Why I Love It:
What's not to love? I love the way it drives me both in and out of the gym, how the dedication and motivation spills over into the rest of my life. And I love knowing that I have finally found something I am really good at!
How I Stay Motivated:
When you are doing something like this, motivation isn't a problem! I love going to the gym and pushing myself to the limits.
BB Accomplishments:

Do you track your workouts (exercises, weight, reps, etc.)?
Yes
If so, how do you do it? Workout log, software program, etc.? Why do you do it this way?
I don't always track them, but when I am going through a routine where I need to know what I just did the last workout, I keep it written down in a journal.

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped and/or changed your family life?
I have been very consistent and dedicated to my training. I eat extremely healthy with only one cheat meal a week, even though I am not in contest preparation, and I never miss a training day. If it is the case where I will absolutely have to miss a training day, I will do that...
