I've been working out off and on since I got married in 1996. But I was never serious enough to make dramatic changes to my body. After having my second child and leaving the hospital weighing 175 lbs, I knew something had to be done. It took me 2 more years to get motivated. And now, I'm READY!!
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling of being strong. I love watching my muscles move when I pump the weights. I am amazed at how good nutrition and smart training transforms a body.
How I Stay Motivated:
My husband is a constant source of encouragement. He has also made dramatic changes in his body, and we keep each other accountable and on track.
BB Accomplishments:
2nd Place Figure Masters; 3rd Place Figure Short Class, NPC East Coast Natural Tournament of Champions

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Rom. 12:1-2

After seeing this pic, I knew something had to happen. I was not happy and had absolutely NO energy!
Here's the breakdown of my training for my competition. 3 days of cardio, 30 minutes MAX each session (he wants me to look fuller rather than stringy); my workouts look like this:
Day 1: A.M. HIIT cardio; P.M. Chest and Biceps (4 sets, 10 reps)
