When I Started:
Aug, 1992
How I Started:
I have always been into fitness. I took a weight lifting class in high school. And I joined the military after high school and became a pt coordinator. I love to help others stay in shape as well, which is why I became a certified personal trainer. When I was in the Air Force, I really got into running and stopped lifting weights for a while. Then, I got serious when I wanted to lose weight after giving birth to my second child and realized that strength training, in addition to cardio, was necessary to change my body.
Why I Love It:
It makes me feel/look good, as well as keep me healthy.
How I Stay Motivated:
I TEACH SPIN CLASSES, which forces me to be accountable and go to the gym. I need to look the part and act the part if I want to give advice to others.
But I stay motivated also by knowing the positive effects that fitness has on your body. :)

Side view shows the fat that's gotta go!
I want to see more definition in my back. In this pic, I have a soft look.
GET FIRM, be as fit as I can be - and be a good role model to other mothers, proving we can be sexy.
Goal (Long):
I want to FIRM UP my legs and abs and get my abs ripped. My abs have never been 6-pack ripped. I want to lose about 5% body fat and gain a little muscle, and still look feminine.
I have steered away from running (which is an exercise I actually love) for a few months because I was told (by a close friend of mine, who's a full-time personal trainer) that my muscle tissue was being catabolized when I ran, which was causing muscle loss instead of fat loss...and it was...
excellent! I don't have enough time to have the cyber friends so much but from time to time i'll check in with a few folks. Whats the tattoo of? Nice avi by the way ;)-
Just revamp it Im not on much but I do revert back to it from time to time to track my progress and get new ideas for workouts. How was Iraq? When did you get back?
Iraq huh? I hated that place, keep safe and good luck with the chow hall food...haha, hard to watch what we eat huh. I am in Afghanistan....again. Good luck with your goals to be hot mama...hehe, you get my vote! take care.
