When I Started:
Apr, 2007
How I Started:
As you get older the weight just sordove "crepes" up on you... One day I just looked down at the scale and said "no more its gotta go"! I was over 150lbs. I immeditaley joined LA Weightloss and lost 35 pounds. That took me about 6 months to do. My passion has always been to weight lift, I had never even lifted a weight before but I always looked at all the muscle magazines and dreamed about having muscles. In April of 2007 I joined the YMCA and started taking some classes. I always looked at the weights and wanted to do them but wasn't sure what to do so I hired a trainer to work with me once or twice a week. We workout for about 6 months but not at the level I wanted to. My trainer had no idea how serious I was about weightlifting. My goal is to be in a magazine :) Finally she realized "hey this girl is serious"! I told her I wanted to do more, to lift heavier! I secretely wanted to compete sometime but I never told anyone. So in March 2008 I went to the Arnold Classic and all I can say is I AM HOOKED! I have never been so motivated in my life! I just want to show women in their 40's you CAN do this, you CAN change your body. I have never played any type of sport, never exercised, can't even do a cartwheel LOL But doing a competition in 2008 is my goal!
Why I Love It:
I love how I feel and I love how my body looks! Especially having a 6 pack!
How I Stay Motivated:
Just seeing my body change, I love the muscles I have built! I love people coming up to me and asking me questions!
BB Accomplishments:
Just doing this at the age of 43! Plus having 2 C Sections!
My goal is to be the very best I can be! I really want to motivate and help other women. If I can do this in my 40's anyone can :)
I would love to just do 1 figure comp!
Great pics...what are your plans for Saturday...my number is 577-0459. Please don't feel obligated to go in the evening. Hope you are doing OK... Help I can't sleep my husband is snoring like a bulldozer ...it is almost 1:00 am and I have to get up at 4:30...pray for me.
Glad to see women kick the old stereotype of aging. By you beginning at 43 it will make your 50's even easier. I'm getting very close to 60 and have no plans of throwing in the towel. Stay with it!
Hey Tonya, Thanks for the comment but you would've made my day if you would've added me as a friend. JK I see you have alot of requests. Again, you look Spectacular.
