When I Started:
Feb, 2008
How I Started:
I was in great shape in the mid-eighties when I taught aerobics at Bally's..it was called Jack La Lanne when I first started! My family eventually opened up a Spa Lady which I managed for a few years before returning to college. Through the years, I let my passion for fitness slide...and two pregnancies later...I was pretty flabby. I recently became a lacto-ovo vegetarian and figured it was the perfect time to get in shape. I want to see how far I can take this. I'd love to drop down to...and maintain a muscular physique.
Why I Love It:
So far, it's helped with my lower back. I had an injury from Tae Kwon Do that acts up all the time. Now I can stand for a few hours and feel no pain in my back. I also love the way my muscles feel after a hard workout, not to mention all the increased energy I feel. The lifestyle is also great. Of all my endeavors...and I have a lot of them...I've found the bodybuilding community to be the most friendly, authentic and supportive. I'm so glad to be part of it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I'm very spiritual and I find living in the moment is a great strength in that it enables me to realize my insecurities are insignificant. I want to build a strong body because I want to see how strong my will is. Can I do this without allowing vanity to get in the way. Yes. This is about personal growth and determination...the act of doing. I look at all the success stories of women in my age bracket, and I've discovered bodybuilding is more than being vain about one's appearance. It's making the conscious effort to treat the body with respect and awe. Oh yeah...I also don't want to wear moo moos when I'm old and gray! LOL.
Yes, those are leg warmers I'm wearing. It was the eighties. This is way back in the day when I was as a fitness instructor at Jack La Lanne. I was around eighteen when this shot was taken. This was when I was at my thinnest.
Muscle really does get rid of cellulite! Need to hit my inner thighs a little harder.
Eventually I think I'd like to compete. That would be the next logical progression of my personality type...self-competitive. I always need to take myself to the next level!

I've decided to start cutting. Although adjusting my calories back down hasn't been easy. I'm motivated, but I'm also hungry. Before I started my clean bulk, I was following a warrior-type diet. It worked well for me as I wasn't hungry in the evening anymore. I fell out of that habit when...
