I have been facinated since I was very young. I remember my mom exercising to Richard Simmons, lol. I was obsessed with building strength and being able to do things that were beyond my assumed possibilities. There was this addictive rush to pushing yourself.
Why I Love It:
First of all, it makes me HAPPY!
There's something very empowering about being stronger than people expect you to be. Working out makes me feel like I'm alive and over-coming physical obstacles that have tortured me for years.
I always thought that I'd be as fit as the women in my mags by now but after the military, a car accident, and some other contributing factors, exercising for any length of time has been a challenge. Not being able to lift is depressing to me so I have spent the last couple years trying to listen to what's going on in my body and do what it needs to get better. It's a cycle... couple weeks going strong and then I hit a wall. I aim to go way past that and beat it all. With the help from God of course :)
How I Stay Motivated:
I just think about that time I gained weight from eating too much McDonalds when I had an ankle injury and how grotesque I felt from not working out. It was the first time I ever got chubby...I don't look good with any fat, it just doesn't go in the right places if you know what I mean.

I took this after I had been on a lean out diet to help tighten up.
I want to look like G.I. Jane without the shaved head.
I am hoping to make a drastic change in the transformation contest, it's good motivation for me to kick my butt in the gym and eat clean. Plus it ends on my birthday and I want to look hot for my 33rd birthday!
dont know what your talking about...now my "before" pics, motivate the hell out of me to train my ass off LOL i want everyone to see them...make fun of them ETC so it pushes me train harder, ahhh the mental games we play ;)
Been there done that on the shoulder issues. Mine actually flared up on me this week with 385lbs on the flat bench. I decided to go down to 335 and rep out instead of risk injury.
