When I Started:
Mar, 2007
How I Started:
*Original Motivation*
After I my fiancé left me three weeks before our wedding I kind of let myself go. It’s amazing how much you can let yourself go and never really noticed. One day, my friend emailed me pictures from her wedding and I was shocked when I actually saw what I looked like. I was once a size 7, but nowhere near that now. On March 5, 2007 I took a long look at myself in the mirror and decided I can’t let myself continue this way and it was time for a change. That day I drove straight to the doctor to do a complete physical, so we can make sure I am healthy and stay healthy throughout the course of my diet and exercise. After that, I drove straight to the gym (Anytime Fitness) and started that day to transform myself back.
*Current Motivation*
On Feb 19, 2009 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Kaiden. Now, that my long and tough pregnancy is over I am motivated to get back in the gym and get a hot post-pregnancy body!!
Why I Love It:
I love working out because of the increase of energy, happiness and confidence I feel. I love it because of how I feel but, of course, it does not hurt when I see family or friends and they tell me how good I am looking and how happier I look. Also, I can’t explain how it feels after an intense cardio session or weight training session, but I love that too.
How I Stay Motivated:
I constantly think positive. I remind myself everyday why I am doing this. I tell myself, its ok if you don't drop the weight over night, b/c you didn't gain it over night. And I also have family and friends that support me and keep me motivated and wanting to do it.

This picture was taken two years ago. This picture you can cleary see the difference in me and what I look like now.
Between the picture to the left and this picture, I can see a difference. What do you think? I can tell a lot of weight has come off the front of me, like my tummy.. You can see it slimming. I like it.

Goal (Long):
My fitness goals have changed. I am no longer aiming to make my body look lean and fit. Instead, I am working with a new trainer who specializes in pregnancy fitness, to gain the accurate amount of weight throughout my pregnancy and to keep my body fit and limber while keeping a safe pregnancy and still keeping fit. Once the baby comes, it will be ON back in the gym to get this baby weight off and my body back in the line to being fit.
Colin contacted me when I went distant from the site, once he learned I was pregnant he kindly pointed out all this site actually has for health and nutrition during pregnancy. Since, he has also followed me and inquiring updates now that I am no longer pregnant and on my way to sculpting a great after pregnancy body. He has lots of words for encouragement, and helpful hints on supplements to use.
What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
Yoga pants, or soft fitted pants. Most of my stuff I order from Victoria Secrets online. Believe it or not its really comfy to wear when working out. For the shirt, just a plan tshirt really. I could careless about how I look while there. I just wear whatever get there, do my thing and go home. I do not go to the gym to impress anyone. The gym is me time.Yoga pants, or soft fitted pants.

What mistakes did you make when you first started working out?
I just started working out and kinda mocked what people did in the gym rather than getting a trainer and learning what to do and how to do it properly and most effectively.
Why I like this video: On Saturdays and Sunday I LOVE being outside when I can. I love my cardio outside. I just started doing this when I workout on weekends in the mornings. I love starting my days like this.
As most of you all know, I recently had a baby. Since I was released in May to go back training from the doctor, I have had an ok start considering I am a new mom and I work out as much as I can. I try to spend somuch time with my son though. Its hard working all day, then only seeing him a...
UNDER NEW CONSTRUCTION OF WORKOUT PROGRAM. I am about to begin working with a new trainer, so I am sure my workout routine will be completely different. Once I have a new program I will post. :)
