Overall Goal: Past my shoulder problem and cutting. Down 8 pounds in 3 weeks. 6 weeks till I turn 40, and want those abs. Big thanks to KLTexas for her help, guidance, advice, and being a great listener, you are the fox girl!
Fit Status:
I have been flat. No up or down progress, just been maintaining while trying to get past shoulder issue.
Started working out when I was playing in a street hockey league while living in Atlanta. Played for 6 years in MASHA aka Metropolitan Atlanta Street Hockey Association, so and kept myself in great shape thru the w/o's and hockey. I was in my early 20's so nutrition did not matter, I just ate.
Why I Love It:
I love the pump from a good w/o! I love knowing it takes discipline to maintain a clean diet and to keep on training, even when you don't feel like it. And the cool part is, you usually feel better post w/o than you did going in. I love feeling strong and healthy.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by looking at that pic from January 13, 2008, my first real before pic. I had already lost a few pounds, maybe 10 or so, but it is a world away from where I am now. I love the fact that I can see the muscles working thru my skin, and it drives me to work harder.
BB Accomplishments:
Tampa Bay Natural 1999 - My first and only contest. I did not place, but was proud to have gotten in shape enough to go on stage. I was working in Aruba for last 4 months before the show, and the physical work 6 days a week, plus lack of good diet and training hurt me.

Goal (Long):
After losing around 50 pounds of fat and putting on a little muscle since December 2007, I have finally set into cut mode to get my abs for my 40th b-day. After I get down to a BF% and weight that I am happy with, I will begin clean bulking, none of the yo yo bulk and cut, I want to stay basically washboard ready at all times. Love the energy levels now, and feel so much better about myself, my lifestyle due to healthier eating, and just all the way around.
The bodyspace fox! KL, thanks for your encouraging words and advice. If you are ever in Texas and wonder why it is so hot, it is cause KLTexas lives there! Keep up the good work gal!
So the big 40 is rolling up on me like the slow train Johnny Cash sang about coming round the bend, and I feel like a freakin locomotive, woot, woot!! Man I feel great and it is getting better. Helps that I just finished legs and 3 miles of cardio! 40 years old can kiss my lilly white...
