I worked out a lot in undergrad after realizing I had put on the freshman 20 my first semester. Once I started lifting, I put on a significant amount of muscle, but never lost all the fat I had gained that first semester because I didn't have the motivation to watch my diet. During my first year of graduate school, I slacked off and didn't lift at all, so I gained an additional 10 lbs. But by my second year of grad school, I regained my motivation. I got back into lifting, and actually started dieting. With in 7 months, I gained back all of the muscle I had as an undergrad but lost 20 lbs of fat.
After competing in my first show in June 2009, and placing 2nd in figure, I've now set my goals higher; I want to reach nationals!
Why I Love It:
I enjoy lifting because it makes me feel good about myself not only when I'm lifting but the results I get from it are pretty amazing. I love watching my body transform week after week.
How I Stay Motivated:
I don't need any motivation to lift or much to make myself do cardio. Dieting on the other hand is another story. As long as I set a goal, I do everything in my power to reach it, and that's motivation enough.
BB Accomplishments:
2009 Alamance County Body Building and Figure Championships: 2nd Place Figure
Pretty impressive occupation as well as being a bodybuilder on top of it all..
Keep up the good work with everything!
