Wilson High Attended 1996 to 1998 Long Beach, California United States
When I Started:
Oct, 2001
How I Started:
HeartBreak. I started by walking in my neighborhood. Then I started hitting the gym. As I started seeing better results, I started getting more and more dedicated. Eventually I became a gym rat working out 2hrs before work and 2-4hrs after work. Sure I had my "fall off the wagon" moments here and there but I always came back harder and stronger than before. That is until I had my daughter. Her first year, I didn't workout at all because I felt that she was at daycare 12hrs a day (because as a single mom, I still had to work) and the rest of the time should be spent with her mom. Right before she turned two I decided it was time to do more for me- so I got a gym membership at my local LA Fitness. Hit with the realization that "my dramatic changes" that I was used to accomplishing in the past within a given amount of time was no longer feasible, I felt defeated. I continued to go, more so as a mood pick me up (because I do feel better when I work out). However, my eating habits remained the same. My daughter turns three next month! No more excuses. I am older now, I know that they weight will not fall off as it used too. I am ready to take accountability for my eating habits and make the time I need for me and my health.
Why I Love It:
I love feeling like I did something, something I can feel immediately, the next day and the day after. I love seeing the changes in the mirror. I love knowing that I am doing something that 60 percent or more of the people I know don't do. I love saying I went to the gym last night after someone tells me about how they spent their night watching TV. I love knowing that I am doing something for me and setting an example for my daughter.
How I Stay Motivated:
Even after I have worked all day, taken my daughter to gymnastics and yeah it's 7pm - that every night when I drag my daughter to the gym, I am instilling in my her that fitness is not an option- it is just something you do and you do everyday- like getting your education.

croberts2010updated Fit Status "Been off my P's and Q's fro about two weeks now. I can feel the difference. Getting back on track today!"
Learn about total body health and transform my body for the rest of my life.
Goal (Long):
First, I will lose 50lbs. My Ideal weight would be between 155-170. I want to learn how the body works, what muscles need, overall long-term health and finally learn what information is BS and what is legit. I want to be able to help other people. If I had my way, My long-term goal would be to be able to pursue my new dream of becoming a fitness model and personal trainer. If I can do that and say I was able to do this as a single mother coming from where I am now knowing what genetics I am battling- I know that I have a major impact in helping others. Starting with my mother.
Apparently, my leg workout on Monday was GREAT!...because I can barely walk today. I took of yesterday- from everything! Not my intention but that's the way it played out. I went to a luncheon for a friend and that was followed by cake =(. To exhausted from going and going found myself...
Hey there!
Well I have been on the new diet that the nutritionist gave us a couple of months ago and I am dropping weight. Thats good, but I want to add muscle still too! I guess I'll take what I can when I can. So how is your progress going?
Wecome to bodyspace,Learn all you can about exercise and nutrition.Stay consistent and put in the work and results will always follow.Much success with all your goals.
I will let you know what our nutritionist has suggested. There are a few things that we have did to change to our eating habits that I think are really good for helping in dropping the pounds. I'll get back to you in couple of days!
I don't know what it is, but I can't gain weight! I've been to Texas too and I couldn't gain weight there either, matter of fact I lost weight because of that "HEAT" you guys have there! lol
