Overall Goal:  my goal is to show my son what it is to live in your passion and give it all you have everyday... and still keep your priorities and focus on the important things. i want him to know that the average joe does not have to settle for average.

Fit Status:  7 weeks till christmas and i've got clothes comming that won't fit right now. gotta buckle down!

Motivation Level: 9/10


Personal Info And Background:
Real Name:
ashley
Sex:
Female
Age:
26
Location:
Pennsylvania, United States
Occupation:
braydens bitch. recently retired from brayden's bottle and pacifier!
Personal Website:
Primary Gym:
College:
High School:
When I Started:
Apr, 1998
How I Started:
i was very unhealthy... well... anorexic in high school. when i recovered, my time at the gym, and the people i met there were far more help to me than any therapist or family councelor. i learned a lot, made changes, and i've been addicted every since.
Why I Love It:
i'm absolutely fascinated by the human body and how we can manipulate it in a relatively short period of time. to me, it's live art.
How I Stay Motivated:
even the day to day accomplishments are so exciting. i mean from "another hour of cardio down!" to "added five pounds to my extensions!" or the ever famouse, "i survived this day without chocolate!" the daily successes are what makes the long term gains. the gym is like a second home to me. i am more at ease there than pretty much anywhere else. it's like this: if i let my diet slip away, i've gotta face these people (accountability is good) but at the same time, most people are too concerned with themselves to notice someone else, so i also don't walk around trying to hide my head in shame... i do work very hard, but i am human...
BB Accomplishments:
third place in my first competition. this may sound silly but first and second place looked very good. i was proud to be on the same stage as these girls. i asked judges for tips for the future... perhaps with age and a little muscle maturity, i will do as they said and go back one day to clean up! (or at least i can keep it in my head as motivation!) my second two competitions i placed very well for the number of girls there, but i was pretty disapointed in myself. the competition place is irrelevent if the girls you compete against don't look that good. if they looked amazing and i got third place, then i'm proud... but it does tell me there's still work to be done.
Forum Signature:
it was the final week of my first competition that i understood the meaning of "meat head"!

how many calories do I eat? at the moment around 1,800 to 2,100 or more. I am trying to gain weight actually, well muscle and some weight. I probably burn around 800-1,000 calories working out. does that answer your question?

Aww, well we don't need you "hulking" up on sugar hun. I always try and get the baked chips cause I can never eat just one chip lol. I hate oatmeal :(, but I do eat a lot of honeynut Cheerios :). I agree, sweets are hard to not crave, but you can do it cause you're a strong lady! I'm glad to hear that he's doing better. I think he wants you to hold him cause he feels safe with you.

Hehe, Hershey kisses huh? That's ok, I did it with cookies 2 years ago. It shot my cholesterol sky high. So, since then I've been good of what I've been eating. Now that it's getting colder out I'll need to start eating a lot better since I don't go out in the winter time. Yeah, fruit and veggies are a great way to battle calories. How is your little boy doing?

Honestly, I've only had a few days where my macros were perfect and I feel great on them....but I've also been having a few too many cheats which has been making me feel like $hit. I had a rough day yesterday, so today is a new start...I'm hoping to drop the few lbs I put on by thanksgiving, which if I can keep it clean, it should just fall off.
