When I Started:
2000
How I Started:
I lived most of my life as a super skinny girl. By the time I hit my late 20's I was skinny-fat so I ran, and ran, and ran...and ate one meal a day! I didn't know I was killing my muscle (what little I had to begin with) and my metabolism and I only got fluffier looking while still wearing a size 5. I didn't like hearing my friends say "you don't need to exercise" when I knew what I REALLY looked like naked! In 2000, I finally gave weight lifting a shot (since I realized cardio alone wasn't working) and improved my eating habits too. I had a 1.5 year lapse in weight training from 2004 to 2006. I've been back into regular training since July 2006.
Why I Love It:
Looking in my logs to see how far I've come makes me smile. I love to see the weights increase as my body gets stronger. Looking great naked is a plus too!
How I Stay Motivated:
The results in the mirror keep me motivated in addition to my desire to compete in a figure competition (or several!) in the future.
BB Accomplishments:
Branch Warren Classic 2008, Figure Class B - 9th place out of 12 girls.

This photo was taken one week after receiving the roman chair squat apparatus. Soft, and not much size.
Weighed in a 107.5lbs this morning due to water retention. The contest is next weekend and I'm not worried about the water since it will be gone by then. Note to self: relax my hands!
What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
I don't mind grunting. I do it myself sometimes.

What leg workout has worked best for you?
Since I train at home with limited equipment, I got a roman chair squat apparatus since its a space saving piece of equipment. It kicks my ass and is bringing about a decent quad sweep!
Description: This video was taken on Friday, May 30, 2008. I had just completed a 3-mile cardio session and thought I'd throw in some pullups.
Re: Alicia's pullups
Played: 116
Description: I had a request for chinups (palms facing me). I managed to do 13 and then got in two half reps. Was shooting for a good solid 15 reps. I'll keep working at it!

The freight company called early last week to say they had my Powertec order. The woman on the phone said they prefer to do residential deliveries on weekends. Great, no need to take time off work! We were given a window of 9am to 5pm on Saturday. My hubby predicted the driver would show up...
Hey there!!! How are you my friend! I hope all is well! How have you been? I haven't been on in a while, but should be getting on more regularly again! YAY! Talk to you soon! :)
Are you competing at the 2009 Ronnie Classic in Dallas on Saturday April 18, 2009? This year we have Figure, Fitness and NOW BIKINI competition. Give me your thoughts.
Thank you ...I looked up the "diet doc! " Looks pretty good...I think, a friend of mine is willing to help me! Thank goodness! Thank you for your response..Hope training is going well!
Not only the holidays, but in the middle of nowhere! LOL I am not ONLY one in a 3-4 hour radius that is trying to conquer this! Lets just say I have to change my music up a lot on my ipod!
Thanks for asking...any suggestions on contest diet?
Hi there! Just looking for some local people to connect with to maybe do some future figure shows. I am doing two this spring in MN, but really don't want to fly there all the time! LOL...Let me know if you would like to chit chat ...
