I ran a marathon in the summer of 2007 and was very disappointed when I still couldn't get the body I wanted even with hours of running. Discovering weight training was an amazing thing for me-- not only has it transformed me physically, but it has allowed me to constantly strive to be more focused, dedicated, stronger, and has done amazing things for my self confidence.
Why I Love It:
Sense of accomplishment.
Taking care of my health/well being.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
...Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing results! It is a constant challenge ~ there is ALWAYS room for improvement!
BB Accomplishments:
None

What do you do before your workout to get motivated and energized?
Having a "no excuses" approach has really helped me. Getting in the habit of doing something no matter what, and making it into a 'habit' is key. It doesn't matter if I don't feel like working out, I go anyway.Having a "no excuses" approach has really helped me.

Well, I haven't posted on here in a LONG time so I thought I'd start updating it a little more.
Last week marked the end of my first 3 months of weight training - not very long, but a milestone nonetheless, as it represents a goal I have accomplished and a 12 week period (however short it...
