When I Started:
Dec, 2006
How I Started:
I was gaining weight and my coffee and sugar diet wasn't cutting it!!
Why I Love It:
Many reasons...it feels amazing to accomplish a workout knowing you gave it your all and you will be sore within hours, it can motivate others to see you make a plan and stick to it, and i love to help others, and it feels really weird to feel my arm and realize that, that arm with muscle is really mine... lol!! wow, who would of known...
How I Stay Motivated:
I think there is a part of me that can't wait to see how I will look after 3 years or 5 years of lifting...so that helps. Seeing others transform here on bodyspace, knowing that this sport allows me to be a more active mom to my three children, and of course, my friends, lovejones596, amyrose, my trainer, my workout partner, and many of you on bodyspace.
BB Accomplishments:
No offense, Trophies and placings, though nice, seem secondary...what matters most to me is supporting those that want to make a change in their lives... both spiritually and physically

The beginning of the journey 145 pounds and no muscle.....
Alrighty.... I guess it is time to set the next goal.... guess it is time to see if I have gained sufficient muscle over the last year or so to lean down and get on stage. So, as of the second week of Dec. I begin my diet for an April comp. to be followed up by one in May. After that.......
Hi Juls.. where have you been!.. lol just kidding, I just wanted to say hi to some of you guys after my being mia for a while.. I'm doing much better and have been getting some pretty good results now that I am thinking fitness 24 hours.. How have you been, taking a break before some pretty exciting new goals for you, that should be so much fun... well I just wanted to reconnect and I hope you are doing well!!..
Thanks...but my trainer has me send him pics every Sunday. So...to make me accountable I am going to post them. I don't want to...but it will help me not cheat so much. I just have this ideal body image in my head....that is where I want to be by x-mas. How is your day going?
i've been ok overall.. i hit a rough patch emotionally a few weeks back and i'm still recovering from it, but it does feel good to be on the mend :) i hope you're enjoying your weekend, my friend =)
Hey, Julie! How are you? Any new competitions coming up? I took a HUGE break from Bodyspace out of sheer laziness...just lifted and ate whatever this past summer and fall...have a renewed zeal to clean up the diet...mostly for my kids (they are CANDY crazy-thank you, halloween). Anyhow, just wanted to say hi. :)
well, i posted some new pics. tell me what you think. i also cheated this weekend...had a fudge peanut butter cup cheese cake in NYC. OMG it was soooo good, but really sweet! LOL
