When I Started:
Mar, 2007
How I Started:
In 2006, I started changing my diet little by little so that I could stick with it and not burn out. Then I started increasing the frequency and intensity of my workouts. I talked to a personal trainer friend who helped me figure out what to do to achieve my goals. I also purchased an online competition prep package...it helped take away some of the guesswork and helped my push through my plateaus. Now I work with a trainer about once a week just to focus on whatever body part is lagging and to ensure I don't slack!
Why I Love It:
I LOVE seeing my body change in ways that I didn't even know were possible. I love the challenge, and seeing friends and family inspired and moved to action by what I am doing. It keeps me on track because I don't want to let them down. I have dropped three clothing sizes and 1/2 a shoe size! I didn't even know that was possible!
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing and feeling results; looking at transformations on this website, reading magazines like Oxygen, Muscle & Fitness Hers, and Fitness RX.
BB Accomplishments:
October 2006--Tulsa Run (5K)
April 2008--Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon Relay (10K)
May 2008--Kendra Elias Battle of the Bodies Figure Championship--5th place

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Cor. 6:19-20
I can't believe you had a baby!! I'm pregnant right now, 18.5 weeks! :) You look great now!! I wouldn't even be able to tell you had a baby from your recent photos!! That's great!! Are you still in the AF NTL guard in OK? I can't remember her name but we had a friend in common. Her last name was long, I can't remember! I'm not a good friend... LOL Well, it's great to see you doing and looking great!!! Congratulations!! -Lisa
i know, its been rough. but i have been in the gym the last 5 days! my diet has been good too! ur girl is so cute! i am sure that you do a lot of calorie burning just by being a mom! i am sure that you two will get in a good routine eventually so that you can workout more, but atleast you get to workout a few times a week! ur motivated girl!!! so are you still in the guard as well??
your daughter is so cute!!!! you look great too! well, i havent been working out. i have gained like 13 lbs. for some reason i am so unmotivated. but i think that is all going to change bc i am starting to feel disgusted with how i have let myself go. its just been hard to get myself back in the gym!
