I began working out in college, and then slacked off after graduating and working full time. Now, I have found a comfortable gym with minimal people traffic, giving me plenty of room and comfort to train as hard as a I can. I'm back into it full swing, and I feel great!
Why I Love It:
Working out allows me to forget my worries and lose my stress. I find that when I work out, I am more focused and determined. Working out makes me feel great, both physically and mentally.
I am also very comfortable at my gym. The folks are fantastic and very friendly. The staff members are wonderful. It's been great working out there!
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by thinking of how horrible my body feels when I don't work out. I also realeze that my training boosts my confidence. When I see overweight people struggling to do simple tasks, it makes want to train harder so I don't end up not being able to enjoy the activities I love most.
I have also recently found some new motivators: heartbreak and anger. I am seriously learning to focus my emotions into every single pound I lift. I know now that my health is more important to me than drama I don't need.
The folks here on BodySpace are incredible - all of their pictures, progress pictures/updates, and words of encouragement are great motivation for me!
BB Accomplishments:
Since March 2007, I have lost 41 pounds! I am finally starting to see the form of a six pack, and I have noticed much more size and definition in my muscle! I feel great!
I haven't been to the gym all week, have been eating like crap, and haven't been on BodySpace in a long time (until recently). I have put on a few pounds, but nothing that can't be lost in a short amount of time. Regardless, I don't like feeling as if my body is suffering from not...
