When I Started: Dec, 2007
How I Started: I am no stranger to working out from high school sports to military to a law enforcement agency. Adult life, children, relationships, career, took me through the weight rollercoaster. So last year, I made the decision of when to retire, I have about 4 years. With that on the horizon, question was how do I want to look, what to I want to be doing? I wanted to be in better shape. I started with Weight Watchers and was very successful, then cardio. After a trip to a fitness competition last June, I saw the potential for myself to look that way and so the journey starts.
Why I Love It: It's like creating a piece of art.
How I Stay Motivated: Self talk, especially through workouts. Pushing myself know absolutely no body else can or will get my body into shape but me.

Goals:
Main Goal: Transform My Body
Goal (Short): Continue to lose visible body fat and change my shape.
Goal (Long): Im a tall woman but with extra weight I appear shorter. That is not cute. I like a tall lean look and for the first time, my goal is to really develop a visible muscular look. Not large but strong. I also want to maintain agility, so stretching and flexibility are important. I want body fat under 15%, about 10%. To compete, of course, the body fat would be lower but right now I remain a fan of those that push to competition level. I'm not looking to be a size 2. I think I was in kindergarden at that size. But I'd like to be back in single digit sizes. AND I don't want to have to struggle to stay there but maintain a regular good routine of working out and nutrition.
Weight Goal: I want to LOSE 20 lb
Bodyfat Goal: 9%

What is the one tip you would give somebody who is just getting started?
Read, read, read. Develop a plan of action, map out the gym and know what you are going to do before you go in.
- Updated Aug 22, 2008 4:31am

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
Consistency and not planning. I started at 19 in the Army and did well but failing to be consistent kept me from maintaining shape.

What is the best age to start lifting weights?

Okay, new progress photos are up for November.  I am happy for the progress I've made.  But I have seen recent photos of me that don't appear as slim as I'd like to look.  So I have this new goal look I'm aiming for.  It's call, "photo slim."  When someone sees me in a photo,...

This time around I am trying to GAIN a few pounds over the next 15 weeks and I definitely want to improve my conditioning. But the biggest change is that I am focusing on legs and hamstrings/glutes 2-3 times per week--ALOT of work to do there.

Traci: Keep focused on your goal and the rewards will follow. Push through the hard times, because I can tell you, it ain't easy! But worth all the effort. Happy Saturday, H
