When I Started:
Feb, 2008
How I Started:
I worked out here and there in between birthing my kids. The gym I have in my home is well equipped and I would look at it every time I did the laundry. It was only after having my second surgery for an abdominal hernia Feb.5 of this year that I decided to try the weights again..hopefully for life this time! And of course the photo I saw of myself YUK!!!
Why I Love It:
Believe it or not..I like to sweat! You know that old saying..horses sweat, men perspire and women glisten..now that's a bunch of bull. I love knowing the blood is rushing through my veins and arteries especially since my aorta was blocked at one point from below my chest all the way into my groin and blood wasn't really getting through...looking in the mirror and seeing a completely different shape than the one I was accustomed to seeing. Doesn't mean I always love it! Somedays I do, other days I hate it! Not gonna lie!
How I Stay Motivated:
Multiple ways! Everytime I take my blood pressure and it's normal, every time I see my surgeon and he tells me my bypass is still working great and my circulation is flowing at optimal levels, every time I go on bodybuilding.com and look at all the transformations each time I look in the mirror, when my husband can't keep his hands to himself..well...that's really not a bad thing and every morning when I wake up, I know I've been given another opportunity by the good Lord to live and see another day! What's more motivating than that?
BB Accomplishments:
Managing to drop thirty pounds and reshaping my body. More to go ...

My 10 reasons to stay healthy...
Even though my user name says "momof8", my husband and I are raising his three boys in addition to my kids. Though I can't be their biological mother, I'm the closest thing they have, and take great pride in that. Even though my youngest child's life was cut short, he's still a part of us, and I did ...
Never really showed my abs before. Two scars are visible..one from hernia surgery and the other..its a biggie..from bypass surgery. They are what they are. I need to get over it. Need to face my demons where these scars are concerned.

Transform My Body
Goal (Overall):
Goal for the month of Nov. is to drop 5-6 lbs and the rest of the bf that I can still pinch!!!
Goal (Long):
Health, health and more health! That's first and foremost.In the last eight years, my youngest and eighth child died..enough said about that, I divorced and then remarried..and he has three young boys that we raise full time, and in 2006, I had surgery..aortic bifemoral bypass at age 47. Stress was killing me. No one could take charge of my life but me. With my health being compromised both physically and mentally, I knew I had to take charge. My long term goals are to continue to work at STAYING healthy! The looks will follow!

When I started  doing this whole body changing thing back in Feb., I weighed 165 pounds. While I am not a slave to the scale, I usually weigh myself every two to three weeks. Well....got on and found myself weighing 131!!!! Yipee!!!! I was so excited and now have only 6 more pounds to go before...

Hey there. You can do the 5-6 pounds. Just get out and move some so those cravings can't keep up with you. Have a great evening.

Thanks. I thought the time was right last night I may have been wrong. 2 hours martial arts and 1 hour weights plus I taught my Tae Kwon Do class for two hours. After a 3 week lay off and going right back at it I am feeling it today.
