When I Started:
Apr, 2009
How I Started:
Hated mirrors! One day after getting out of the shower I called BULLS#&T on myself. Went to Target and bought the doorway pull-up thing. I couldn't do one freak'n pull-up. Went back to Target and bought a pair of 25lb. dumbbells, drove over to Walmart and bought a $29 bench. My mission ...... if I choose to accept ........ complete body transformation.
Why I Love It:
I can't believe how much better I feel. More at peace with myself, way way way more energy, happy, physically feel great. It is absolutely crazy how much easier everything is now.. from tying my shoes to carrying softener salt..... sleeping better. I used to take a pill for everything, see a commercial and say. hey, that's me. I have that problem, I'll get that pill there to fix me up. BULLS*#T. The healthier I get, the more the problems disappear.
How I Stay Motivated:
bodybuilding.com is a big help. People on here are awesome, always willing to assist others, share knowledge and give positive reinforcement. Also.... guys.... let's admit that women are a motivating factor in much of what we do. I just plain love beautiful women...... I'm glad we gave up that rib.
BB Accomplishments:
Just in my head right now, but it's all good!

It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it!

Her energy and confidence shines through in her photos. Her transformation is really what it's all about, getting to that place where you are not just going through life, but truly living life with a peace deep in your soul. More than the body....... her face tells the story of true success! Not to take anything away from that sexy physique though!
From the outside looking in, one would think the people with these great physiques could very easily be vain. When I joined bb.com I was pretty intimidated by all the great bodies and really wondered if I belonged on here. Then I was welcome right away by these same folks, wishing me luck...
What are you doing with your diet lately to drop more fat? Have you tried things like cut out 200-300calories/day for a week or two? If you try that, maybe a few times, then that method should let you find your maintenance calories level and then to cut fat, stay below that.
How's it going? Workouts going well? I just changed mine up to start a cut. I also just added my first set of progress photos...stop by and let me know what you think.
If I were to have an arm day it would be the last day of the 5 day split. Originally my 5 day split looked like legs, back, chest, shoulders, arms. I put my arm day at the end of my split so that they aren't wore out on back, chest, and shoulder days.
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying that you find me inspirational. It is people like you at Bodybuilding.com that keep me inspired as well as allow me to believe that I can make a difference in people’s lives.
Stay strong, focused and determined & may God bless.
Things are going much better now. I'm easing back into working out. Now that husband is back at work, it is much easier to be productive!
Glad to hear that your dealership is one of the ones staying!
Thank you:) WOW! Look at that progress! You have done an amazing job thus far! Keep it up!! Oh and I'd like to be 6 inches taller as well.. guess we're both SOL:D hahaha
