When I Started:
May, 2009
How I Started:
I was tired of the yo-yo dieting and being fat, so I decided to make a lifstyle change instead of going on a diet.
Why I Love It:
Because I am going to get my life back and go beyond anything I have ever imagined concerning my goals/spirit/confidence
How I Stay Motivated:
In my short time so far, I just need to look in the mirror or be aware of how awful I feel about the way I look. And...I watch the incredibly inspiring NIKE/Warhawk video on my page.
Be on stage for figure competition by June 2010!!!
Goal (Long):
"I want to be 125 pounds of muscle while maintaining a femanine physique. Being flabby and fat will not be something I settle for any longer. I want to show the world how sexy and beautiful this mother in her late 30's can be. I want to have anything (or nothing)on and feel sexy and confident in my appearance. I want to put food into my body with the intent of giving it the most perfect fuel I can. I want to be healthy so I can see my daughter grow up into a beautiful woman."
I read her entries on her personal website and it really "spoke" to me. I was ready to "hear" someone say STOP THE EXCUSES...and that's exactly what she writes. I was glad to hear that it wasn't easy for her either. As someone who has always fought her weight, I would look at others who were in shape and think it must somehow be easier for them. The truth is they (normally) are making much better decisions concerning food/activity. Thanks Chicken Tuna!!
Going to spend more time working out, less time on bodyspace. I'm letting myself use it to keep my arse rooted to the couch too much. I am going to stop keeping up with everyone for about a month so I can keep up with myself better. I have really enjoyed checking in on my friends and I will...
Currently doing my first round of P90X so I can develop a good starting place for my figure training. I am also recently incorporating HIIT cardio training to hopefully shed some fat w/minimal muscle loss.

I was super excited when I saw that one scale. I guess you could say I had a ceremony, it was the day we left for Cedar Point so that's was exciting. Then I came home and got sick, so I have to play catch up now!!! :)
Hey hey, just leaving some love. I'm back from orientation which means I'm back to working out finally. I ended up gaining 4lbs or so, but I've already lost some of that, so it wasn't too bad of a month, but my stats didn't go down.
How are things on your end?

Thanks for the comment on my blog. Good luck to you for competing next year! Not to pressure, but posting up pics on here has really helped me with my goals...you might try it and find that it works! Again, good luck!
Hey thanks. I have a ton of nasty belly fat to get rid of still. You know that may be the last place my body pulls fat from. Best of luck to you. Keep pushing.
Thank you very much. What I like about this site is the encouragement. We all need it. Accountability too......knowing others are seeing my blog keeps me on the straight & narrow with my workouts & diet. Have a great weekend. :)
I'll keep you updated on the diet thing. I'm pretty sure I'm right though. If no one responds I'll let you know anyway since I'm my own guniea pig! FYI, the revenge post was funny! Just remember it's all about you though.

YOU WILL be on that stage in june next year. hard work & dedication. praise yourself for getting started. its always hard at the beginning, but you will find it to be easier as time moves on. good luck with your goals. i will be checking up on ya to see how your are doing. :)
Thank you!! Can't wait to get out of the 190's and then it will be the 180's, but as long as it keeps getting smaller that's all that matters! How is everything progressing for you? Hope all is going well :)
