I started working out right before I got deployed to Iraq. I got in great shape during my deployment, but got off track when I returned home. I have been on and off again for the past several years, but starting in June of 2009 I am back on and more consistent then ever.
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel good about myself and allows my brain to relax after a stressful day.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing the changes in my body, getting encouragement from friends and most of all having several workout partners so that at least once or twice a week I have some competition.
This was actually a couple years ago, but I didn't take any before pics. It is a good representation of what I looked like on June 1st, 2009, maybe a little smaller.
5 months into consistent lifting. Weight gain phase, higher body fat.
So I have not seen any real changes in my circumference measurements over the past month. My weight is also staying pretty much the same. However, I am getting stronger each workout and I feel like I am gaining muscle. My body is definitely looking different than it did 5 months ago when...
Thanks for the blog comment! I help to know that I have support from my bodyspace friends. My family(aside from my husband) and friends don't understand this life style. So It's great to have people like you! I hope your having a great week!
It sure is hard. I got myself in a slump but will pick myself up out of it!! I don't get any support at home, so it's nice to chat to people here. Everyone's been fantastic!! I think it would help me too if I had someone to work out with!!!! Good luck to ya!!!!
