I hate being looked at like a skinny wimp, and bodybuilding is empowering. It helps me deal w/ stress & anger. I also like how my upper body is now wider across.
How I Stay Motivated:
I love to see new definition, and accomplish heavier weights, as well as see the difference in my progress pics.
BB Accomplishments:
Biceps: gained 1.5", my back :] compound rows= 120 lbs, gained 5# of muscle
Forum Signature:
It's only after you lose everything, that you're free to do anything.

What army_wife Is Up To:

army_wifeupdated Fit Status "Dr. says things look good. Still can't weightlift. & no sex. FML"
army_wifechanged Overall Goal: "lost muscle weight & strength. WANT IT BACK! Health declined in the last 6 months, recovering from surgery. 4wks post-op.."
lost muscle weight & strength. WANT IT BACK! Health declined in the last 6 months, recovering from surgery. 4wks post-op.
Goal (Long):
After my 1st bulk cycle, I didn't like how more mass made me look shorter & stockier. I'm just not meant to be big I guess. I do prefer the lean & cut look anyways.
Recently I had Mono, so no gym for 6 wks!! Now I've lost SO much muscle weight & strength & have very little stamina.
I'm still struggling w/ mystery pain in my lower abdomen/ pelvic area along w/ back pain & nausea. Occasionally the pain is so bad I shake & vomit. Diagnostic surgery was November 17th. Had cystectomy via laparoscopy. Hope that takes care of everything.
I can't believe I was SO healthy & it has come to this...
:'(
It kills me right now that I can't do anything! & haven't for months now! I'm jealous of able-bodied ppl. I will probably be recovering for 6wks, maybe more.
I go about 2hrs, 3x a week. Sometimes less, depending on how hard hit the weights. Then I kickbox once a week.
And I realize I hit more on the upper body than lower... lol.
I'm working on that
(although, squats are all you need... lol)
Get better soon so that you can hit the fitness again. Hope your hubby stays safe too. In our thoughts and prayers. Take care and stay motivated - Semper Fi!
Hey..Hey..updated the pics but damn things came in sideways...Better one next weekend...I am really going to hit the cardio and gym this week and see waht happens, two in half more weeks till course is over and I want to shred the hell out of things. Really watching the diet and what I put into myself..have a great week and take care...Motivate and Semper Fidelis!
