I've always had an interest in working out but didn't start lifting weights until January of 2006 when my ex-boyfriend introduced me to the strength training world.
Going to the gym is the one place where I can get away from everything in life and take out my frustration by pumping some iron!
Why I Love It:
It gives me a great high! I love seeing positive changes within my body -- it also pumps up my self-esteem! I love receiving compliments in the gym!
How I Stay Motivated:
It's VERY hard at times. I try and stay focused on my goals and the potential outcome. I don't have a problem when it comes to working out hard core but I do struggle with the diet! It's something I'll always have a hard time with...I grew up eating dessert after dinner every night. That's such a bad habit and sooo hard to break! I never want to weigh 180 pounds again (that was in middle school -- yikes!)
BB Accomplishments:
In Progress!

hdgibbschanged Overall Goal: "Tired of being chunky -- let's get this show on the road!!! Short-term goal = 140 lbs! Today's a new day!! Starting fresh!."
Right now I weight train 3 days a week and do cardio everyday. For example:
Monday: Legs and Shoulders/Cardio
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Back and Biceps/Cardio
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Chest and Triceps/Cardio
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Light Cardio (something fun -- outside)
Awe that's too bad, maybe we can share the stage in September???
Oh! Supps, I like syntha 6 protein shakes once or twice a day...my favorite is Metrx meal replacements...I put 1/4 cup milk in them and stir them up like a pudding--its a nice treat once a day! That's all the supps I use besides BCAA's, Flax oil, and Glutamine...what do u use???
well then, I AM HERE TO MOTIVATE YOU!!!!!
maybe, ya I can identify, it can be tough to get motivated sometimes, it has helped me to simply have a weekly routine, come home from work, gym, eat, sleep....but everyone is different, hopefully you can find some consistency, but you look great either way!!!
