Background

When I Started: Mar 2006
HOW I STARTED:

As I gained some extra weight after having 2 children it started affecting my knee health (I was diagnosed with chondromalacia). The way I was eating was raising my chances for type II diabetis (I am genetically predisposed). Started working out for health and loved the results! Had to figure out my diets and training routines myself. Researched tons of magazines, books online articles. Picked and chose what gave me results. So, basically, 'trial and error' was my method. Thanks to all these resourses I have gained a pretty good knowledge of nutrition and physical training.Bodybuilding.com became my 'home page' in my web browser. I also learned how to 'work the mind' to reach my fitness goals. There's no stoppin' now! Now there are many other reasons to keep going. I would not mind promoting a fitness product or fitness clothes line sometime in the future.

WHY I LOVE IT:

The art of bodybuilding is one way my body pushes itself to its limits. It demonstrates to my children that to accomplish something worthy in this life you need to swim upstream! I also love seeing my family getting more fit and healthy.

My Motivation Program

Motivation is the key. It's not easy, since I workout alone, following my own programs. The main motivation - I enjoy it! To keep the motivation fresh I mix my routines up, put new goals before me, read lots of inspiring biographies of athletes. As I am getting ready to become a Personal Trainer I want to be a strong role model for my future clients!

If I slack, I remember where I came from and how much I had to work for it. I remember how unhappy I was and then look at where I am now.....Bam! I am back on the track:)

I get a lot of mail from women who need guidance in the area of fitness and nutrition. I am happy I have something to give them. I don't wanna stop at what I've learned so far. There's so much more to learn!

New Program for me - The New Rules of Lifting

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:17pm
I am going to track my progress of this new program at a different place. I've started a separate blog for this purpose at blogspot. After reading the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women (by Lou Schuler, Alwyn Cosgrove and Cassandra Forsythe) I've decided to join a little challenge that was organized at jpfitness.com forum. Every woman has a different goal, but is determined to reach it! I love a good challenge. My goal: to reduce body fat to around 10% for the coming summer, after I put on some more muscle mass in the next 6 months.My plan: Since all I got to lose is about 10lbs of fat, i...
