Although I have always been quite active and generally in good physical shape, the demands of residency caused drastic changes in my habits. I gained approx. 15lbs in my first year. This because of new unhealthy eating habits, inconsistent working out, erratic schedules, and constant sleep deprivation. As a result, I became moody and unhappy with myself, which affected my entire life. I was tired all the time, and generally uncomfortable with my appearance. I knew that I needed to get back regular working out and healthy eating habits, but could never quite get it together.
My current workout partner recommeded that I join a local bootcamp class. I lost 10lbs in 4 weeks, suddenly had lots of energy and a newfound motivation, and I have been a constant fixture in the gym since then.
Why I Love It:
The Results!!! I get out exactly what I put in. Nothing else in life has such guarenteed results.
I also enjoy the relaxation and excape from the stressors of life that exercising provides. When I am running, it is just me and the wind. Sometimes it gives me just enough boost to keep me going , while at other times it provides just enough resistance to make me work harder. Whatever its direction, in the end I am better for its presence.
How I Stay Motivated:
Looking into the mirror!!! The sense of accomplishment that I feel each time I move to another level keeps me going back for more. Because I am never satisfied, I am motivated to keep pushing myself. The irony is that if I donot go to the gym, I have an overwhelming sense of guilt as though I have broken some cardinal rule.

So I competed n the OCB Pride of the Atlantic show in Richmond, VA last weekend. I didn't do as well I I hoped, although I wasn't surprised. I placed 6th in Master's and 11th in Open Short Class. It was a VERY competitive show with many well-conditioned girls. Going into the show, I...
Ah, yea I gotta work to but should make it to finals. My friend that got me started w/Kareem is Competing! she looks awesome, can't wait to see her win!
I feel you on that, I worked out Monday and haven't been back, too busy going to Plaza Azteca and drinking margaritas! I am actually getting ready to go by some chicken and fish right now so I don't fall to far behind, gonna try out bikini in about 5 weeks so I can't gain to much! You'll be okay though, we need that break every now and then! Are you going to watch the show this weekend at ODU?
hey thanks for the good luck I needed it. I didn't even place, but it was a big learning experience and I'm just switching to bikini. Simple as that. I'll keep my head up and keep on busting my butt, but I'm done with figure for now. How's your training going? did you get the twins? lol!
