When I Started:
Dec, 2004
How I Started:
I competed in gymnastics and dance growing up. In college, I used the cardio machines to help me quit smoking and stay slender. In 2005, my husband (cani1) introduced me to weight lifting and proper nutrition.
I accidentally ran across this website in March. I glanced through some of the female profiles and instantly got the "I want to look like that" bug. I have been training hard to reach my goals ever since. No more "just maintaining" for me!
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me look and feel.
How I Stay Motivated:
Motivation is a rollercoaster ride for me. Some weeks I’m ready to go, and some weeks I just want to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock and go back to sleep.

Oh, I don't paint. I've had multiple bad experiences painting and she knows if she wants a change, she will have to paint it. That doesn't stop her though. I'm game for anything else, as long as there's no painting involved.
Haha. It's just weird for me because my wife's an interior designer, so the walls always have something on them and the paint color changes every other month.
Thanks for asking! It's going really well, I just have to keep telling myself it's okay to gain weight...it requires a whole different mindset than I'm use to. You're still looking fabulous!!
Thanks :) I'm a little off right now since I still have lower abdominal fat and a little in the obliques. I've been training like a mad man trying to eliminate it asap.
Have you been making sure to hit mostly compound exercises for your goal? That's always the fastest route to results :)
