I have been a gym rat for about 16 years now. Being a gymnast, it was kind of a requirement. After my first child in 1999, I became addicted. The gym to me is almost like a drug.
Why I Love It:
Being a stay-at-home mom can be very stressful and working out helps me relieve that stress. Oh yea, and I like looking good too!
How I Stay Motivated:
If I'm having trouble getting motivated, all I have to do is turn to the fitness channel or look through some fitness magazines.
BB Accomplishments:
I'm pretty proud of how I have been able to stay in shape after 3 little ones.

Progress Pictures

I took this picture just today. I would like to lose about 5 lbs of fat and turn it into muscle. I'm very excited to watch my progress.
My goal is to stay happy with the way I look in a bikini!
Goal (Long):
After a racquetball back injury back in November 2007, I was forced to completely stop all exercise for about a month. Then even after that, I could only do moderate exercise, which left me feeling a little flabby. Now that my back is all healed up, I'm ready to go again. I have started back to a rigorous exercise regimine, and have started eating better. My long term goal is to lose about 4% body fat and maintain the muscle that I already have. I'm not into looking too muscular, just lean. I would like to achieve this goal by the end of summer.
Ok....so I went on a 3 mile run this morning with already sore legs, and now my right quad is so sore I can hardly walk. I immediately took some glutamine and iced it, then ate and went and sat in the hot tub. Oh....also took 2 Aleve. What the crap did I do? Maybe it's just...
I just wanted to stop by to congratulate you on all of your hard work and the great results you have achieved. I believe that people such as yourself who have worked hard to get their body into great shape and who many times are looked upon for advice or as a role model should be acknowledged and complimented. I hope that you have a fantastic 4th weekend and are able to stay strong, focused & determined. May God bless.
Hi Heather! Wow, if you hadn't told me I never would have known, lol! In all seriousness though, if you have a moment read my latest blog. If you can do anything to help, it would be so, so appreciated.
Hi. Just had to stop by and tell you your legs are amazing!! I am a stay at home mom and I know what you mean about StReSs-lol! Working out keeps me...sane :) Your pics are the best! Hope i can one day have a stomach like you!! -cat
wo looking ripped in the bikini. keep up the great work well after a week out workout out with my kid he said that the old man workout was better than his and is now workout out every morning at 4:30 to get ready for the hockey season. sometimes you have to wait allittle bit to see that use old and wise people know what we are talking about Have a happy and SAFE 4 of July weekend
According to this equation I think my workouts are more of the "lean"-type as well. I want to loose a bit of fat, but in fact I want to grow muscle. Maybe I should increase weights a bit. :)
