When I Started:
Oct, 1995
How I Started:
Being young, I wanted to work toward something outside of school sports to keep me motivated. I wanted something that others kids weren't a big part of. I talked to a lifting coach at my local gym and he got me interested in power lifting. About a year later, a friend of mine talked me into doing my first bodybuilding competition, and it just spawned from there!
Why I Love It:
The way I feel after a workout is amazing. I also love to look like I am in the best shape I can be in for myself.
How I Stay Motivated:
I think of other competitors and what they've been through in their lives and how I want to be right where they are at. I don't just see fitness as working out, I see it as a way of life.
BB Accomplishments:
As a power lifter, I set 4 American and world records at the age of 15, placed first during state championships, placed 3rd in my first couples bodybuilding contest and 1st in my overall division.

Goal (Long):
I am a personal trainer and aerobics instructor, and also a full time student to FINALLY finish my kinesiology degree. I started power lifting and bodybuilding at age 15. I have taken a long break to get married and have children, but now I'm ready to get back into competitions. My oldest is 6, and my youngest turned 1 at the beginning of August. I really want to get into more bodybuilding or figure contests and put on more muscle, but with being out of the loop for so long I feel a little lost (YES, even as a personal trainer!). I really need my arms to grow...seems hard for me for some reason. So much has changed, and with being a trainer I feel I should know what I need to do...just a little confused I guess, but it can happen :) I have helped so many others achieve their goals, but I have a hard time taking my own advice for some reason. I guess it's because I am definitely my own worst critic! However, I'm stronged willed and ready to take on anything!! Oh...and I REALLY want to get into fitness modeling a lot more. I'm doing minor things right now, but ready for that next step!
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 5 lb

Give me thoughts: Have you heard about the Rock Star Fitness Weekend in Dallas hosted by Two Times Ms. Olympia Jenny Lynn and Pro Fitness Trish Warren. It is June 20-21 Let me know if you have interest in attending.
Waiting to get outta Belgium and head to Ft.Drum NY here soon. The calf is healing, just did a 12 miler in 2.5 hours and it was just a bit sore, to be expected though. Hopin tha Commander will let me get back on the marching team since my trial run went good.

Hope all is well , you 've been so nice to leave me a few comments , thanks
I don't mind the whole MRE thing, they are getting better! I love the amount of nutrition in them if ya wanna get big. I remember being in NTC when I was in the Infantry, we would be out in the desert for 45-60 days at a time. Eatin those MREs made me huge, I would always come back 15-20 lbs heavier and alot of it would be in my calves. I carried on average 120lb rucksack. I kinda miss it though.
The MRE's are definately a butt load of calories. I ate too many of them one day, 5 to be exact, and I ended up with the worst stomach cramps in the world, buckled over and everything! Sucked because we were out in NTC in Death Valley in July!
Yeah! my motivation is always up only because I don't let anything take me down no matter how things get, I'm determined to fulfill every goal. Besides that everything is going great. How are things going with you?
