I started lifting 1980's for better Marine physical fitness scores. My legs developed quick but took years to build upper body. Became AFAA certified 1990's & taught aerobics for a few years. Part of my job as a Marine was to help other Marines maintain proper weight/ physical standards. I learned early on that having a muscular build boosts metabolism to burn fat.
Military retirement, my case worker job and having three miscarriages left me flabby. I decided to quit my job & get back into shape before my 40th B-day. I changed the way I ate and slowly trained to avoid injuries. I use more ice on my knees these days but can still achieve great results.
Why I Love It:
I train because I love to eat! I'm fortunate to not work at the moment and am able to devote so much time for training.
How I Stay Motivated:
The thought of getting older and looking it!
BB Accomplishments:
Looking to compete and win in either my height or masters class this winter.
Forum Signature:
Life begins when you live it! Dream big, train hard and stay true.

What a difference flexing makes compared to my other pics.
Post cardio - meal 1 - 6 egg whites and 1/4 cup quick toasted oats (2 multi-vitamins, 2 Thyrolean & 1 Glucosamine Celadrin MSM)
Three hours later - meal 2 - 4oz natural chicken breast (no rib-meat) and 1/4 cup brown rice
Sending u Gunny luv and respect, Sylvia. Your "renovation" is yielding incredible results. You're a South Texas siren, my friend. Keep us updated on your progress.
Fact of The Day: The spinal cord is less then two feet in length and is the same diameter as your index finger, yet it contains over 10 billion nerve cells.
I survived. Not feeling too bad. I don't think I could consistently do more than 2 wo per day but I'll have to keep this in my arsenal. Have a great day.
i hope i don't curse you tomorrow :) I tried a double workout today (7.5 hrs apart). You inspired me to give it a go. I hope I have enough NRG to go to work tomorrow - LOL.
