When I Started:
Jan, 2009
How I Started:
I have been a yoyo dieter for 15 years. Time to get serious. Got Oxygen mag about 1 1/2 ago and was blown away by the gorgeous women. My entire outlook on working out and eating changed. I have grown inside, shrunk outside, and continue to make progress on my transformation. The biggest and hardest thing for me to change was my diet (and still is). It is challenging to remain consistent, but I get better and better at it as I work harder and set new goals. I need to remember that this is a constant process that never stops and results take time, hard work, and dedication.
Why I Love It:
It feels good and I continually look better. The way my hubby looks at me. ;)
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking at myself in the mirror and the transformations here on BB.com.
Looking at, reading and poring over issues of Oxygen magazine.
this is SO depressing, but I'm starting over again and this stupid bikini is too small....(that's the point right?right!) so in three months I will be rockin this thing!!!!!
end of week two clean eating
tummy, hips, slimming very nice!
Lean, lean, lean, lean lean!!! Obviously, trying to lean out lol. Proud member of the DO THE WORK CREW!
Goal (Long):
My goal is to no longer be the sedentary girl who would rather stay inside reading than go out and do something active. I want to be happy and healthy both mentally AND physically and I want to be smokin hot for my husband!I want to wear a bikini proudly, not "what the HELL am I doin in public in a bikini?!!"
How has bodybuilding and fitness helped or hurt your relationship?
It has only helped!! I am so lucky to have the help, encouragement, and LOVE of my great husband (mrinky). We spur each other on to greater achievements.

Since you've been working out, taking supplements and eating right, how often do you get sick (cold, flu, etc.)?
One down without too much mishap, one more to go today. I had turkey breast (about 6-8 oz), one plain sweet potato, a little cranberry sauce (1/2 cup) and about 1/2 cup green beans. There was no salad available. No veggie plate. Lots of stuffing, butter, rolls, mashed potatoes, and gravy. I...
No problem...it's helping me stay in line as well...earlier I was about to change my mind about going to the gym...and I thought nah....I already told her I was going, so I gotta go... :) so thank you..enjoy the holiday and I'll be back in touch after the wkend...
What are your fitness goals for this week...I'm doing the gym thing..wed, thur, fri, and sat....maybe jus cardio on Sunday...Thur will be my "free day" but I'm not gunna get all outta control with it :)
I'm great! I am feelin a teeny bit sick to my stomach, but I am trying to ignore it...I am staring at my eggs on my desk, but I can't stomach them yet. I find with low carbs I lose my appetite a bit! I get sick of protein kind of easily. Yet I have lots of energy. It is almost time for a carb up day. I usually go until I can't stand it anymore, lol. How are you? What are you doing today? I work till 4:30, then home for a bit before the gym, then Biggest Loser is on. Yay!
It sounds like you're on the right track hon. When I get hungry I drink more water. I may pee ALOT but I'm folling my tummy into thinking it's full. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself I'm not sure. haha
I'm assuming you're following a set diet? I hate no carb things. Your brain needs them to function. lol However you CAN do it. Nothing good is ever easy.
OMG L!!! I see a HUGE difference between the bikini pic you took in Oct and now!!! It's AMAZING!!! Congratulations girl- I know this is encouraging you to keep working hard right?
It is mostly about diet, diet, diet L. Glad to hear you're back in the swing of things. I'm sure u feel so much better eating as cleanly as you are. That's awesome.
Hey, modern technology..go figure. But I swear, whenI made my first comment on it, it was empty. So now you have me woundering if I am slipping..a little. (lol)
