When I Started:
Dec, 2008
How I Started:
I started training in Krav Maga (military self defense) a year and a half ago, dropped a lot of body fat and developed some good core strength. I always considered myself to have a healthy lifestyle when it comes to food, but until I got serious and did hours of reading on bb.com, I never actually realized that eating healthy wasn't enough to change my body. (And also that cardio is over-rated). I decided in December 2008 that I finally want to make a BIG change and work towards my goals of having a strong, lean body that I can be damn proud of. Mainstream womens magazines tell u all the wrong things about fat loss and "toning" ur body- like do 10 squats per week and eat kellogs Special K for 2 weeks and get sexy legs lol. I finally educated myself by reading tonnes on bb.com which has given me the right information to keep doing what I'm doing- and so far its been working. Whatever training plan you follow, whatever type of clean eating pattern u prefer, the key is consistency- THAT will get you where you want to be.
Why I Love It:
I don't always love it, but I love the results it brings. I was working out for years and saw ZERO progress, cuz there's so much misinformation out there, but now I finally know how to achieve exactly what I want.
How I Stay Motivated:
It's actually harder to be motivated because England is cold and rainy all the time and our beaches aren't that special. But I have a solid goal in mind and thats what drives me- whenever I need inspiration or when I get insane sugar cravings (or when I'm just being greedy), I get on bodyspace and check out some of the ppl who inspire me on here- 1 peek of a 6 pack is enough to set me back on track.
BB Accomplishments:
Reaching one set of goals I set for myself when I joined Bodyspace. Now its time for some new goals...

ouch when training gets ugly
Thought i'd put this pic up cuz this is a good representation of the state of my non-figure from 2004-2006 lol
Me and my torn ligament. I guess u can't be on top of your game ALL the time. No Krav maga training at all until everything heals completely. Legs and abs work still happening- will post pix when I see progress.

Goals:
Main Goal:
Gain Muscle
Goal (Overall):
To build a moderate amount of muscle and increase core & functional strength.
Goal (Long):
I don't want to be soft or have just an average figure. There's nothing like a strong, sexy back- on both men and women, and I want one! I want a muscular-esque type figure, so I want to bring out the best in my body. Target hotspots are quads and hams, glutes, abs and back, and basically everything in between.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 5 lb
Bodyfat Goal:

Have 2 say I'm proud of you for hanging in there & keepin on training. I mean it would have been so easy to get down about it & pack things in, but u haven't :) My diet was crap yesterday lol but otherwise pretty good, changed up workout routine to break a plateau & it seems to be workin. Also new bf which is like the ultimate motivation lol. Worried he might not like me getting more muscle though.

I wasn't injured but i did my ankle playing football last Tuesday, a recurrence of an injury i was told i would recover from in about 2 weeks by my doctor, i gave it a month to make sure.. ever since i've had a recurring injury, it's not too bad at the moment. Hope you are recovering well, take care Cx

Hey hun - hows its going? Hope ur hanging on in there. I had quite a stressful evening last night!poor me! x factor; that Danyl is getting on my nerves - he was feeling really sorry for himself, instead of showing any heart. I admire confidence, but I think the guy has arrogance! I thought John and Edward would choose a popular karaoke song. Poor Freddie Mercury must've been devastated, lol! I'll PM u later - I'll try to keep it under 5000 words! ;)

From all I have read I am expereincing a form of fatigue -- in short my joints are reacting to my exercise and struggling to keep up. I am going to scale back my program a little and get a few more things in my diet that may help.
