When I Started:
Jan, 2005
How I Started:
I've always been pretty active. I played basketball and ran cross-country in highschool. During that time I was thin and in pretty good shape (cardiovascularly), but didn't have any real muscle definition in my upper body or abs. Then, during college, my perfectionism and a bad relationship got the best of me and I ended up developing anorexia. In about 7 months, I dropped from a healthy 126 to a scary 93 pounds. Everybody in my family was so scared for me and convinced me to give up on the relationship. My brother also encouraged me to start lifting. I started by just doing some toning/aerobic videos with light weights. Then, when I switched schools and moved out of state, I joined an LA Fitness and started lifting weights more seriously. I haven't stopped since.
Why I Love It:
I feel so great after a long tough workout. It gives me so much confidence and such an adrenaline rush. I just love it when I am lifting as much or more than the guys at the gym or when I am able to increase my reps or weights.
How I Stay Motivated:
The gains in strength that I see in the gym & in my daily life motivate me to keep working. I also find inspiration in seeing and hearing about other people's transformations.
BB Accomplishments:
well... not sure if this is much of a bb accomplishment, but I was chosen for transformation of the week in September, 2007.
This was taken when I was 117-120 pounds. This was right after high school. I exercised about 5 times a week, but it only consisted of running, tae-bo, and biking. Look at the pathetic excuses for biceps- embarassing. I thought that I was tough!
Struggling with diet a little, but abs seem to be showing more definition.
Over the past several months, I’ve been approached for fitness and health advice by many people. I’m always flattered by it and I am more than willing to share whatever I can in order to help them achieve their goals. However, it seems that the majority of the these people want an easy answer...
3-Way Split: 6 days on, 1 day off per week; Abs & Cardio (40-60 min.)everyday
Monday, Thursday: Arms & Chest
*Unless otherwise noted, I do 4 sets of each exercise(Reps: 12,10,8,6). I lift successively heavier weights with each set & combine two lifts from different body...
U have THE most divine, shapely sexy legs EVER, OMG they r so beautiful, and the rest of u is just so stunning. How did u get ur legs in such super shape? wow.
*kicks up feet on couch* i'm supervising now. i've decided i'm not working anymore;) i love soreness...i'm thankful it's soreness and not nerve crap. your right, your prayers are gold.
Thanks colie! it is my day off as well, so i'm doing lots of stuff! paid rent/mortgage, doing bills now, deposted checks, dry cleaning, shopping for a fax machine...yada yada. I can't wait to do chest and see how weak i am since i haven't worked it in 2 weeks! jk. I'm glad you're working tomorrow...someone's gotta work in this house right?
oh it was alright, casino saturday night(didn't gamble, had to watch the little cousins) and apple picking yesterday... i'm pretty tired...lol glad your weekend was well, i hope work is well too
How was your weekend?We won a close game against the team that beat us in the playoffs last year.The score was 36-32.What's so funny is that we were beating them 23-6 at halftime.They came out and scored 26 unaswered points on us.It was a very emotional game.
Thanx for the advice. It does get very stressful. Taking small breaks really helps too. Well i'm here studing again. One more test tommorrow. Hope your training hard for me. Enjoy your day.
I did go out last night for a halloween party at someone's house. Noone recognized me! i had skull makeup on, and elf ears. Today, i'm not doing much of anything i think:)
good morning! i've been resting well. had some asian pears and a dozen quail eggs just now. wow, you do back, shoulders and abs in one? that is ambitious! Happy birthday to the little one! one more, then he can drive! I'm praying that it picks up for you as well nicole. move to southern calif!high census here!I'm going to get back on the saddle and lift, low weight this week, then hit it hard next week:)
the hours were rough for the first year and a half. Now that I have been here for three years, well, It was just another test for myself to see if I could do it, Now I am addicted to the vacations on exotic islands.
