U of O gym / YMCA
Gym Location:
When I Started:
Oct, 2002
How I Started:
At 15 I was diagnosed with boderline cholesterol probs. So I took it upon myself to eat better. Then in Oct I decided that I wanted to do pilates classes... so I joined the gym to get a better rate. I didnt really enjoy pilates but I started to do the circuit at the all womens gym and some cardio. I went from 180 to 151-155 within months. Eventually I went off to uni... then gained the freshman plus a little more. Summer of 05 I started to train free weights and I love it.
Why I Love It:
I think its what keeps me happy and its a time for me to relax and just think.
How I Stay Motivated:
At this point, what keeps me motivated is the way I feel about myself. I love the new sizes I fit in and never thought possible to fit into! This site has been a great motivator along with all the other bodyspace members who inspire one another! Looking in the mirror also is a good motivator!
BB Accomplishments:
Well I can't really speak for extreme bodybuilding... but I surpass the weights at the womens gym and have been told by my personal trainer that I was the strongest gal at that gym hahah. Needless to say I moved to the Y.

This is my second year of university... pretty much what freshman 15 + had done to me. But I'd like to note this was still working out 4-5 times a week...Eat Clean Counts!
Wanted to wear a Canada Bikini for years... now I finally can!
My first 2 goals have been reached... i took last summer to see what I could do, I took the first half of this summer to begin to see my abs... now i want them to pop ... so I keep pushing myself... i need to stay motivated and this is great for that!

You are serious trainer and I like that... Unlike miss Tulip! Where was she btw??
Absolutely love that Simpsons episode especially the part with dropping the weight stack on his head and saying he's going to be sore in the morning. Good one!
Oh God, we went to casino buffet last night and even tho I ate proper I think something wasn.t right cuz I feel like trhowing up this morning...Got up at 6 to go for a cardio but felt like sh!t!! I hope you made it to the gym and worked for both of us...
Will be there tomorrow for sure in the morning unless I end up in hospital for food poisoning...LOL
You seem like busy girl(read- "Party Animal") over the weekends...LMAO
Ok, going to try to flip my stomach inside out, will TTYL...hahaha
I did calves last night and almost fell flat on my nose couple of times while running...Those treadmills are sh!t!!! Belt is always slipping forward...Got to put little incline every time!
So what do you do??Always run and then do weights after??
And we just missed Tulip girl..She was coming in as I was leaving! Very nice outfit this time...HAHAHHAHAAH
Enjoy your day!!!
You are absolutely HILARIOUS!!! I get there and see you and now feel stupid to start and not to say "HI" but you were "in da zone" all singing and animating!!!! It was sooo cute! I do the same thing, sometimes singing out loud and wait till u see me box while running when arms start cramping...LMAO
And maybe next time you could come over and say "HI" before you leave...I dont bite or nothing...We still didn't officialy meet!!!HAHAHAHAHA
