I am starting now, January 2014. I've never gotten serious about my health... only dreamt about it and admired all the women that put the hard work into bodybuilding. But after watching and helping take care of my healthy minded Step-Mom passing away from ALS at 56, I'm done taking advantage of my healthy body. I'm going to be an active participant in my health. I'm going to live my dream...
So... here it goes...
I've always been the skinny fat girl and I'm not okay with it anymore. I tired. My emotions are everywhere. I have no energy! I want to take care of my body and feel strong and energized. I've entered the 2014 body transformation and want to win a healthy, strong, fit body. This contest will help encourage, motivate, and keep me accountable.
I'm a stay at home Mother of three children, 16, 9, and 7...well over time for the excuse of having 3 kids to be done. My husband is a United States Marine...time for the excuse of him being gone most the time and moving so much to be squashed! The excuse of not having family and friends nearby to be put to rest. I don't have a gym membership, it's not in our budget, excuse over. Excuses are not okay. No more excuses! I can live my dream and nothing can or will stop me, except me!
I will be working out at home by myself. No gym, no trainer, no friends, no family, just moved to a new state, new climate (negative degree weather and snow on the ground!!!), husband on travel 80% of the time, 3 kids in school with busy schedules, I will not be detoured from meeting my goal and living my healthiest, fittest, strongest me!
Okay, I love working out and lifting weights! Long story short, I have PMS/PMDD and so my emotions can take over sometimes. I can get very depressed! Not good! Not good at all! It completely interrupts my life every month! It interferes with my relationship with my husband and with my children. Since I've been committed to getting healthy, fit and strong, my emotions haven't gotten the best of me. It seems to be the cure/medicine I needed. That is why I love Bodybuilding/Working Out! AND it's only been three weeks! It's incredible!
