How I Started:
I started lifting weights in college after meeting my husband. He helped me overcome my fear of the weight room. We now own a gym and I train for figure competitions.
Why I Love It:
It's a difficult challenge I endure every day because I love the way it makes me look and feel.
How I Stay Motivated:
I work in a gym - You can't sell fitness if you look like a fat slob ;) Competing, tracking my goals, reading fitness magazines, talking about my goals with my husband and friends, looking in the mirror, hearing praise from others and the bathroom scale are all STRONG motivators for me.

Members That Inspire astraseske:
Ambrosia [ BodySpace ]
True Figure Girl right here! If it weren't for her (and Dan), I wouldn't have this rockin' physique. I'm inspired by her desire to be the best (in every aspect of her life). She deserves a pro card ... someone PLEASE give her a PRO card! :)
Jason is the real deal. He's very passionate about health and wellness and loves to share his knowledge with others. Jason is my rock, my foundation for personal and spiritual growth. He has always inspired me to lead a healthy lifestyle ... even when it wasn't easy. He's helped me reach my fitness goals, keeps me motivated, has patience and understanding, and loves me unconditionally. *love you, babe*

I used to get the same thing. My doctor explained that as long as my allergies were out of control, I would continue to get infections....

Have you tried Zyrtec (daily) for allergies? I started about seven years ago for my out of control allergies, and let me tell you: After two weeks of taking it, my allergies have been almost non-existent. I get a flare up about once every two months now, as opposed to daily....

Not much, just living the "rained-on often" lifestyle here in Southern AZ. While it keeps the dust down, it makes things grow big time...and yeah, therefore many more opportunities for allergens.
