When I Started:
Aug, 2005
How I Started:
I saw my body getting progressively worse through college. My friends were all in amazing shape and I lagged behind. Eventually I became frustrated and set out on my journey.
Why I Love It:
The constant challenge to evolve and reach new goals keeps me going.
How I Stay Motivated:
New goals are set all the time. Once I exceed a goal I move on. I also post pictures in my room of how I used to look. The progress I've made as a bodybuilder has inspired me to create my own business and blaze my own trail through life. I also blog regularly. READ MY BLOG :)
BB Accomplishments:
Melted 50 lbs of fat (250 lbs down to 200) while simultaneously increasing my muscular strength in all muscle groups. Licensed as a personal trainer.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
Think about where you want to be in 2-3 years. Work towards that goal. The average human life is ~77 years so don't get upset if 12 weeks don't give you everything you've ever dreamed of.

Good to hear from you! So far, competition training is challenging-but in a GOOD way--it's giving me something new to strive for. I will definitely let you know how it goes ONLY if you keep me posted on your progress towards your public speaking endeavors. NOW, we have a deal. LOL!

Understand about work, AND I get the idea that you're good at what you do, but you already know how this bodybuilding stuff makes you feel, so don't take too much time away from it.
