When I Started:
Apr, 2004
How I Started:
The Marine Corps gave me my start. There's so much emphasis on good strong bodies and so many fat military members... it blows my mind. I wasn't a fat one, but a little on the weak side. I could pull my OWN weight, but God help me if I had to pull Sgt. ChunkyButt out of the desert! During my first deployment I started lifting to pass the time. The second deployment I began to get more serious. Now I want to compete and I will be teaching a LesMills BodyPump class at my Gold's. My goal is to get street credit competing while working towards a nutrition degree w/personal trainer certification.
Why I Love It:
It's a great stress reliever. I enjoy feeling strong. I really am a fat girl at heart. I have a horribly strong sweet tooth and i'm constantly hungry! AND, I admit, I like putting my son in the kid-zone and having two hours to myself a day!
How I Stay Motivated:
By eating healthy and taking pride in how I look. Plus I like having "me time" at the gym.
BB Accomplishments:
I'm really happy with my arms and I placed 3rd in a 5k.
I did a show, now it's time to put muscle back on.
Goal (Long):
A healthy 2009!!!
I need some man-weight!
I have a LES MILLS Body Pump class to prepare for July 17-19. Three days of muscle failure so I can teach. CHECK! DONE! PASSED :)
In the fall I'm starting college to get a sports and exercise degree.
I want to open a gym one day.
what do you eat before going on stage at a competition? I hear that some people eat candy bars, others honey and pb. One person said pb, chocolate protein and coffee mixed into a goo paste. Just wondering what others do.
my third post today trying to keep myself occupied.
Hey there missy! Thank you so much for the inspirational vote. It truly means a lot. I'm excited to see what your physique looks like when you put on all that mass you're working hard for. Best of luck to you hun!
BLESSINGS,
LAURA
You look great Amanda. I forgot what kind of comp you're doing on the 22nd. Just wear a camo bikini & Marine cover. You'll scare into giving you the win. Good luck. :-)
