When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
Simply put (with no violins or sob story)...I just let myself go after a knee injury about 10 years ago. I never went back to working out on a regular basis after being in a brace for 6 months.
I recently discovered in April 2009 that I have insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and adrenal issues that put a damper on my results. Diet and exercise were not working alone, so now I am working with my doctor to fix this. I will truly have a total transformation (inside and out).
Why I Love It:
I don't love it, but I don't hate it any more...though I do miss it on my off days and those odd days that I make excuses not to go to the gym (but still haul my ass in there anyway).
I did have an inate distaste for sweating, but a few Bikram yoga classes and a Nike hat (part of my uniform) helped put a stop to that.
How I Stay Motivated:
I still don't have the body I want, so there's no way I'm stopping now.
Seeing some results (less flabby, more fabulous) is also a big motivator. I am trying to take baby steps. Consistency had been a problem in the past for me, but i am ever determined.
I've been browsing this site for inspirational stories (and bods) and reading a few magazines (Oxygen, Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers).
Also, the last time I wore a bikini was the summer of my 30th birthday....and i LUV bikinis - this is my primary motivation. I know it should be health - blah, blah, blah, but it's really all about the bikini and looking better naked. The only potential issue noted with my health has been my weight, which I am changing right this minute.
BB Accomplishments:
actually looking forward to my workouts instead of dreading them...more to come
