College:
High School:
When I Started:
Jan, 1993
How I Started:
Weight lifting class in high school. My sole purpose here is to continually improve my appearance, my strength and to give/gain motivation to those who have my similar interests.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling of being tight, lean and strong. The feeling of accomplishment. The weights will never pass judgement, they will never lie or betray me. They will never cheat on me or let me down. They push me to face and overcome my mental weaknesses and only I have myself to blame if I do not succeed. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).
How I Stay Motivated:
Every day I am motivated! The mirror, my clothes and I am seeing changes in my body every day, whether it be on the scale or on the measuring tape ~ I'm making progress! I continually visualize the END RESULT. I've been there before (120 lbs) I AM going to do it again!! There's no turning back & there's nothing to lose ~ except nasty fat!! THANK YOU to all my bodyspace friends who motivate and support me. Without everyone behind me then I can only hold myself accountable. And it's easier to let yourself down than it is family and friends that are behind you 110%. I also thrive on the awesome groups that I have been invited to be a part of. Bodyspace has kept me going!!
BB Accomplishments:
LOL! That I posted my Before pics on my bodyspace. That was a very embarrasing, eye opening and yet humbling experience. Those pics are my motivators to do better with each workout! I MUST make each workout better than the one before because I will NEVER look like that again!
Forum Signature:
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be. Kahlil Gibran I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. D.H. Lawrence

Just checked out your pics and noticed you know P, too. Her mom and mine know each other both being musicians and I knew her from when she was with Total Package. Ahh, such a small world...

Very cool. Never met Skip, but I hear the name quite a bit. I've been going to as many shows as possible every since I went to my first one (Shawn Ray Classic) the second year it was here. I also work at Max Muscle (in Parker), so if I'm not there working the event itself I'm usually at the booth.

I don't have a show scheduled. I don't think I can get in front of a crowd in speedos. Lol. Maybe if I had something to show off I might feel different about it. But I am starting to train hardcore again. Glad to hear you're doing well!
