I got involved in Triathlons and running races and in order to improve on that, I had to start lifting weights. Turned out I liked that a whole lot more.
Why I Love It:
I love the adrenaline rush you get. To see improvement, challenge yourself to go beyond what you ever thought you were capable of....it's the most amazing feeling.
How I Stay Motivated:
GOAL SETTING!!!
BB Accomplishments:
2009 My first figure show!!

Eat clean during the week, small cheat on the weekend. Pick up my running as my primary cardio. Continue to train but focus on my lower body. I want to hit the stage and drop some jaws!
She is ripped! Obviously works hard and how can you not admire that and be inspired too! It's tough to always have the attitude that keeps you on track. You need to surround yourself with people like that and you too will become that.
So I decided to enter that 10 week challenge. I am so far away from what I was when I competed back in september. I need to get that back. The only way to do it right now is to put a challenge in front of me. I am human, it's tough to look at those pictures and know that I competed. ...
hiiiii, thx for the add. haha ur funny u call ur dog max peanut, lol. ya my dog is my boy too, hes the only boy im gay for, haha. ur lookin great ya lil stud, keep it up! hope all is well =)
Yesss, sure thing. I use MHP's Probolic-SR Protein. I like chocolate and strawberry. Great thing about this, is it tastes GREAT with plain ol' water, so no extra unnecessary calories, etc. I use it at night as I mentioned and pre-workout! ;)

Aw, how sweet u are! No problem at all! Yeah, it's tough when you can't eat when you want and need to. After 3 hrs, I'm like, "Gotta eat, gotta eat"!! LOL. Try the Slow Release shake at night if u arent already doing so! :)
Have a great week!

Ok, so it took up more space then I thought! LOL. I like to wrap them individually cuz I find they stay moist (keep them in the fridge) and great for on-the-go! :) Let me know how u like them!
Happy Training!!

Hey chica! No problem... and you're right, it's hard! Sooo worth it tho! :) Yes, I certainly will share the recipe. The recipe is actually Jamie Eason's. I so luv her! And it really is quite yummy! May need to send in 3 comments...lol. Here we gooo...
thats good girl go you! ive been off track so many times its not even funny. & yea..the difficult thing about bein so young/in college is really just the instability of your life/emotional state so its hard to keep my routine stble but im workin hard nonetheless. cant complain [can but why lol]
Just started back into running the last couple of weeks here & bcuz of my knee I don't want to push it too hard, I'd like to learn everything I can with lifting (with help) from maybe a personal trainer, or a Physio Therapist. I have access now to a free small gym, but I don't know what to do with it. LOL Trying to learn my Macro-Nutrients & continue with my meal plans. How did you get into the BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE? :)
About how just a couple of month's ago, I looked like my pic, & now I almost look like what I did b4 the pic, & yet I've maintained the same weight. Just a loss of muscle. :( I know I can do it again! :)
