When I Started:
Aug, 2008
How I Started:
Using Beachbody DVDs, they worked!
Why I Love It:
My confidence has soared, and I never knew how low it really was! I love the burst of energy after a workout, and the good feeling I get knowing I did it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look for new ways to motivate myself all the time... its hard! Upcoming vacations, photo shoots, maybe competing one day.
BB Accomplishments:
I've lost over 20 pounds, 14% body fat, and am no longer skinny fat. Now I'm just PHAT!
i've met my goal weight and then some, now I'm putting some muscle onto this frame.
It's been almost exactly a year since I started (for the umpteenth time) to get in shape. Mainly, I wanted to wear a bikini and feel good in it when I went to Mexico in January. I did it and it was such a great feeling! Going back in September for a week of fishing and scuba, and want to look and feel even better!
My newest "official" challenge is get set for a photo shoot in late August. Nothing like knowing you'll be photographed in bikinis and fitness, posed to show off that hard earned muscle, to get you motivated to push it harder.

Now:
I starting using Alwyn Cosgrove's Undulating Periodization on 8/3 and will work thru this until 8/30. I'm using this as a program to fill the gap between my last program and the one I plan to start when I return from Mexico. My previous training has been heavy and in the 8-10 rep range for...
For me, i am currently at work. I enter the facility on tuesday mornings and leave on thursdays afternoon. So the earliest i will be motivated will be friday. I hope you made it to the gym and had a great workout. Talk to you soon.
Thanks for the compliments, and YES, I really am a grandma! I have a 2 year old granddaughter who I want to be around to enjoy, so I'm getting fit and trim!
Congrats to you for coming so far already--you will meet all of your fitness and bodybuilding goals with enough time, patience, and perseverance! All the best to you! :)
