Until I was about 33 or 34 my body was naturally fit and I stayed around 125-135 without trying. My legs were very muscular and I went to the gym for fun an not because I had to. Now, at 39 and after 8 years of marriage and comfort, I've found that the "gravity thing" is true and it got me! I decided 2 years ago that I was going to take control when I became an NASM CPT but got another job offer that I could not turn down. Unfortunately, the job was very demanding and I only saw civilization about every 3rd day during Army training rotations. The living conditions and the lack of gym access during this time made it more than difficult to accomplish my goals. Now, I'm not working at all and I start to teach a Youth Fitness Training class in January so I NOW HAVE NO EXCUSES TO NOT GET TOTALLY FIT!!! Wish me Luck ;0
I read CC's profile one year ago exactly. Her courage and willpower as a single mom who recently suffered hardship to make the transformation that she did was more than impressive. She not only transformed her body, she transformed her life, her mind, and her daughters life. What a role model for her baby girl. She is certainly one to me. Even though I've fallen off the fit wagon due to my own personal hardships in the last year I'm back and she's still an ispiration to me more than ever!
My husband! He inspires me because when I say "damn my belly is getting big" he says "WHICH ONE" !!! LOL - Gotta love 'em! Also, I REALLY hate when we are spooning and he puts his hands UNDER my belly to get them warm...DISGUSTING huh?! Soon he will have to rub my washboard abs....UMMM I HOPE! ;)
What should look for in a gym? What should you avoid?
quality maintained equipment, cleanliness, knowledeable staff, hours that meet your needs, and fair pricing. Avoid a place that is unclean, has young and unprofessional staff members, and equipment that's held together with duct tape. quality maintained equipment, cleanliness, knowledeable staff, hours that meet your needs, and fair pricing.

What is the most common reason that somebody gets injured while lifting?
Improper form, too much weight, and trying to be explosive without proper progression to that stage of training. Lack of experience and knowledge.
Are you lying about your age? You can't be a day over 30...with a body not a day past 21. Good luck with your goals!! You're smokin fit hot! ~Take care~ Marq
gotta start somewhere. I've been struggling with my diet.. lots of friends coming to town this holiday season and going out constantly isnt helping. best of luck with getting back in it! its always good to have that fresh start feeling again. keep at it!
Heck , if you worked for me, that would employee of the week!!!! Yeah, hopefully, I'll be able to get back to a full routine next week. Anyways, are u able to work more time into your schedule to do ur training or is it that busy?
Yeah, I'm starting to see progress now. However, I have been slowed down due to a knee injury that is forcing me to lower my leg workouts. It's a little frustrating, but, I'll get it healed and be right back at it. How's working at the gym going?
Thank you Joyce. Best wishes in the 2009 and your goals. I look forward to seeing more pictures and your transformation. I'm here is you need anything. Take care :)
