When I Started:
Sep, 2001
How I Started:
I have always admired women with muscular and lean physiques. I did tons of research before I even got started, by reading fitness and weightlifting magazines. I started lifting weights at home using tapes and videos. Eventually I joined a gym and I don't think I have missed more than 1 week of working out in the last 6 years.
Why I Love It:
I just love the fact that when I'm lifting heavy weights, I literally can not focus on anything else. To me, its almost like meditation. Absolute focus and control work your mind as well as your muscles!
How I Stay Motivated:
Things have changed in a really positive direction for me. While I am not planning to compete in the near future, I have learned to adopt much healthier attitudes and practices in regards to food. I don't want to be a slave to the roller coaster of guilt/obedience that comes with a very restrictive diet program. I stay motivated by health rather than number such as body fat percentage, weight ect. While I still use these tools to chart my progress, I am more focused on treating my body right!
BB Accomplishments:
Reducing my risk for chronic illness, obesity, etc!! How about ensuring I will live 3-7 years longer than the average person, and knowing that the quality of my life is outstanding - I feel great, and that's the most important thing!

You are beautiful! Good luck on reaching your goals - as long as you stick with it- it will eventually come - might be later than you want but it will come and thank God everyday that you are able to work out without injuries - and if I didn't say it earlier you are beautiful ;)
