When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
During my Master's program, I spent a lot of time sitting, studying, and eating! Though I was never overweight, I became the epitome of "skinny fat" -- I looked fine normally, but I was not in shape by any means. After looking at progress pictures on this site, I was motivated into going to the weight room! I've been lifting for almost a year now and I love it.
Why I Love It:
I never thought I would go into the weight room, but now I love lifting! There is something empowering and addictive about being able to lift more and more weight -- I love pushing myself both mentally and physically.
How I Stay Motivated:
I feel that as a future physician, I should take care of not only my patients but myself! Also strange as it sounds, seeing the amount of adipose tissue in my anatomy group's cadaver has really motivated me to hit the gym and eat clean. Dead or alive, I don't want three inches of fat under my skin..
BB Accomplishments:
Going into and staying in the weight room, cutting back drastically on alcohol consumption, eating clean foods and loving it! My 5K training log (treadmill times; outdoor races not listed): Aug 22 - 34:00 Aug 25 - 32:30 Sept 1 - 30:20 Sept 8 - 30:18 (had to sprint the last couple minutes to beat last week's time..) Sept 25 - 29:50 Sept 29 - 30:30 (not happy with this increase in time.. AM runs without breakfast take a lot out of me) Oct 1 - 28:55 Nov 15 - 28:36 No new updates for a while.. since I've been running OUTSIDE! :)

Taken a year ago. I still wasn't a hardcore gym-goer, but my undergrad lifestyle was definitely more active than my life as a graduate student. It definitely shows!

My Saturday night was spent as a fitness quest!  Hahaha.. went running around 10:30PM and it was great!  Kept a great pace, even added extra length and ran past the point where we usually turn around and start heading back.

On the way back, threw in some sprints too, about three...

I think my weekend diet wussness due to stress results from being out of my M-F routine. I seem to keep it together better. I'm out of that daily routine on Sat & Sun, and I think we tend to "let our hair down" on the weekends. At least I have. Whatever, it's frustrating not to handle stress in a more constructive way (I won't blabber & blubber the cause & details.....LOL).
