I usually have good days, where I workout and eat clean without any problems. Then there are other days, especially when I get stressed, that I return to old habits and eat everything in site; more chocolate the better.  I really hate these days and wish I could just overcome this and turn to something else instead of food. I would love to have a hard, well defined body someday and compete so I guess I really need to focus on that and hit the gym instead of the food.

Here’s a little about me and my life. I am a wife, a mother to 3 boys, aged 10, 7, and 3yrs, and a nurse. I have always had a competitive spirit and loved fitness; however, was not always motivated, especially after having my 3rd little boy. I was busy with school, part time job and family. I just didn’t want to exercise or take the time to eat healthy. With that I gained 10lbs in 2007; not a good year for me. But all of that changed a little over a month ago when I said enough is enough. I changed my bad habits and starting preparing and eating healthy foods. I also started training 6 days per week, following a routine that I’ve gotten my one of my Oxygen magazines, which incorporates weights, cardio, and resistance strength training. I’ve lost 10lbs in the past month and have really increased my energy. I’m working toward having a body for figure competitions. I know that it won’t be easy but I’m determined to make it happen. Will post pictures soon of my progression. Keep and eye out for me!
