I've always played sport from basketball to little league baseball...I played sports in high school; soccer, basketball, baseball, and golf. I started lifting weights and playing pick up games of basketball in college to stay in shape. I started lifting more then playing ball. i incorporated speed rope into my training and noticed a significant difference in my agility and speed on the basketball court.
Why I Love It:
I love pushing myself ...in the Gym at least...even when it feels like I've got nothing left, I know I've got more to give and I am going to keep on going. I love feeling sore in the morning, afternoon, and/or night. Working out is the only constant I have, the only thing that keeps me going that keeps me smiling, I know I've got a lot to learn but I'm always hungry for more, I'm addicted. I can't stop. I won't stop.
How I Stay Motivated:
If I see or hear a worthy quote or song that in some way defines my goals or becomes a mental queue to allow for new ones, or if i happen to come up with one myself, I repeat it over and over and over again to keep my mind focused on what i'm doing.
ALSO...Now that I've been a member of the local YMCA for about a month and a half now...I find myself being some what of a mentor in the weight room. This is a "family establishment" so there are a lot of members here who are young and old whom are always looking to make a small change in their own routine. so they either take what they see from my routine OR go ahead and ask if I know something else they can do. This motivates me infinitely and even gives me a little extra pump for my own workouts.
BB Accomplishments:
One of my friends actually described me as "being obsessed with results" ... I simply told her that "obsession is a word the LAZY use to describe the Dedicated"... That shut her up...lol

Goal (Long):
Gain strength and muscle mass, endurance, stamina, and lose fat.
I want to be bigger(but not too big as i found out, its quite difficult for someone of my size to crawl through a tunnel with full fire gear and air pack), leaner, stronger, faster, all the things I would need to fight fires safely and successfully.
SOFTBALL SEASON 2008!!!!!! Hopefully more home-runs in my future!
Also looking to make some friends on here that can keep me motivated and keep me on track and see if i can return the favor.
OK SO IN THIS PAST 2 MONTHS OR SO, I'VE ACQUIRED A FEW INJURIES... A POSSIBLY SEPARATED COLLAR BONE AND NOW... A SPRAINED ANKLE... MY DIET IS GOOD, MY TRAINING IS CONSISTENT... HELP?!?!
