i got started when i saw a photo of myself and thats when i realized how much weight i had gained, so i did something about it but i wanted to do it the right way with a healthy diet and exercise! i 've already done every 'wrong' way and was never happy, so i wanted to it and do it 'right'!
Why I Love It:
when i first started working out...i hated it! i only did it because i HAD to, it was a chore but then it really developed into a true passion. i love going to the gym...its my favorite part of the day! i look forward to it---my 'me' time! training has given me so much strength (mentally and physically) that i never knew i could have. i feel good about myself for the first time in my life. it gives me the confidence in myself and pure happiness with who i am!
How I Stay Motivated:
my motivation is seeing the results and progress that i have made...i never want to go back to the person that i was before. i have never looked or felt so good in my whole life! even if i'm having a bad day and life is getting me down, i know i will feel better if i just go to the gym. it keeps me sane in a crazy world :)

Nov 20, 2009
nic902changed Weight from 108 lbs. to 116.6 lbs., a 8.6 lb. gain in 28 days
Eat smart, train heavy and hard....rock this off-season!!!
Goal (Long):
i'm very happy with the progress i've made but i will never be satisifed, i always have a drive and passion for more! i have already changed my life, i'm the most fit and most healthy i have ever been and i want to inspire others to do the same! the self confidence that training has given me, cannnot be measured! i did a photo shoot and a figure competition, it was so empowering and made me know i can do anything and to not let fears hold me back! for the first time in my life i found something that i really love and by finally stepping on stage...a place i feel like i belong! i can't wait to continue to compete and improve myself each day. i hope that i can in a small way change the image of punk rock chicks...we can have tattoos/piercings and still be athletic, fit and healthy! i am going to make my all dreams a reality! i have stepped out of my box...and i dont ever want to go back in :D
My favorite freak =) This is one crazy F'N Serb! D is for real...so BS, he calls it like he sees it, the good and bad! He is hardcore, kicks ass and expects nothing but the best. The support he shows is incredible, he TRUELY wants the best for everyone and will do what he can to help you succeed. D is one of a kind!!! We share a love of muscles, weirdo and poppin VEINS...it dont get much better than the freakiest of Serbs :)
Jumper is an amazing woman! She has mastered the art of balance....competition life, social life and a healthy mind AND body. Not to mention the woman is SMOKIN HOT!!! Jumper is the epitome of what a woman can achieve....a healthy body, mind and spirit!
This off season my goal is to find balance in my life...physically and mentally.
As far as my training goes, I want to bring up my legs more...quads, hams and the booty :) I am totally in love with my new routine, I trained legs yesterday and I am in serious pain today!!!! I dont have a...
Here's something funny: I ate a slice of pecan pie every day since last Sat! Just finished the pie today post workout =) Next week, besides Thanksgiving day, I will be back on my "plan." I'll let ya know in a few weeks if my "plan" is working well. :)
Yeah, the holidays are time to relax w/ family and friends. I too would rather not be uptight about food. Yep, we sure are all different. I definitely would like to look leaner right now, but I think I might be on to something. I'm gonna go with the flow for a few more weeks and see what happens.
Ok sounds good! That's very doable for you! Piece of cake! Mmmm..that sounds good, JK! My goal is to not have to bust out any pants that are above a 30 inch waist. I do have some 34's here, I hope to never have to wear them again! LOL!
GOOD! I'm glad! That is a good goal, and I'm very confident that you will accomplish that ;) Well, in my journal I posted a LONG post, but to be brief, I am not sure if I am cutting or not. I think the creatine has caused me to gain weight for 1, and 2, I think might have lost a small amount of fat. The past 3 weeks I've gotten stronger each week. I guess I'm just kinda goin w/ it for now.
I know! The diet thing is so brutal! LOL! I hear you about the holidays, I always gain some poundage during that time no matter how hard I try to keep it lean. I'll make ya a deal, I will try and not get too out of control if you do the same, sound good?
Thanks. Things have been really tough lately. My son started daycare in September, and he constantly gets sicks from the other children. I am sick now too and can't work-out. This is driving me nuts. I feel like I'm not making a lot of progress...
I hope you are good to girly, hey did I tell you I get to visit D.C. in January (business) I will be there for a week. It will be good to be back in the states for a bit, plus it will give me another chance to visit Arlington and visit and old friend and my hero....
I hear you there! You and me both! I wish there was a way to keep lean while eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream and cinnabons! LOL! Yeh it just isn't practical to keep body fat that low year round. It's also tough to put on muscle when calories are kept that low. Well at least we can pull it off for part of the year, most cant even 1 day per year. At least not here in WI! :)
