Headed for FAME....2010...Lord help me!

I haven't been around much...it seems the time is just flying by since I started training my body. In hopes of getting to the FAME Ontario stage in March 2010...at least I hope its around the same time as last year and not earlier! Yikes! By the time I finish working a 12 hour shift at the hospital and do my 2 hours in the gym lifting and cardio...I get home at about 10 pm, eat dinner, do some internet research on training, dieting, learning all I need to know about changing my body as I am doin… Continue

Where do you find support?

I am just curious because unless I come to these forums and websites on line, no one that I work with or am associated with can understand why i want to "look like a man...." lol...yup those are the comments I get when I say I want to compete. Does being fat and mushy make me more of a woman?

OMG! The day has flown by, between getting in all my meals evey 3 hours, and then co-ordinating some sort of weight lifting session today. I am zonkered! I really didn't want to come and type everything in the computer, but I must....I need to keep track of everything so that I can make adjustments along the way. Not a bad change of pace for a procrastinator like me...I am queen of procrastination!

Day 1 was yesterday.

It started off great!

I went back into the gym yesterday, boy I cannot believe how unfit I got in just 2months away from the gym, its like starting all over again. I did Cardio 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Then I did my abs after wards.… Continue
