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.
fit2be40changed Overall Goal: "Still growing, still eating big and getting a little fat. Four more weeks of growing then shed fat for beach body '09 :)."
Finally, my first BB comp was last November, NPC Texas State, and I took first in Women's LW Novice. I worked so hard with training, posing and diet but my legs just did not cut in comparison to my upper body. I almost quit so many times but my husband kept me going. He had a hard time...
