I am not now that which I have been….
Wow its been AWHILE, since I’ve blogged. Part of my hesitation in the past couple months to continue to blog about my training is because I haven’t felt like I quite belong to bodybuilding.com anymore….My training has completely changed, I’m not trying to alter my body composition any longer like that of a bodybuilder….I am now a fighter and will stay that way until, well my body gives out =0). The past couple of months have been a life-altering experience with many more changes soon to come…..I’m very excited now because my training with Duane has moved from his house to Sam Hoger’s MMA gym and so now I’m getting to experience training/sparring with new fighters, be IN a ring and experience the new world of HEAVY BAG hitting. WOOO its tiring but FANTASTIC. AND I’m the only GIRL and I’m cool with that!! =0) I train right along with the other dudes and they treat me NO different than the other guys.
Now back to my bb.com dilemma, someone made a good point, that there are countless people on this site that are here for many reasons, to get good advice, support from others, and compete in many other sports besides bodybuilding…So I’m cool with that…I still feel like I can contribute to the site in many other ways than I have before!! So now that we’re in the gym I’m going to be taking vids of some of the interesting stuff we get to do everyday! woot!
Yesterday I got to swing the sledgehammer on a tractor tire and today my back is SOOOO sore….haha….okay anywho, thanks to you Dejan, I feel better about continuing my progress here on the site! Okay time to go put some more BAND-AIDS on…..ahahahahahaha……

While there are a lot of "bodybuilders’" on this site, I’d say a lot of folks are here simply to get into great shape, or to stay in great shape. I blogged this morning about my own long-term goals, and they have nothing to do with getting huge (though a little more lean mass I wouldn’t mind), or competing.
Good luck w/ the fighting. Hope you don’t have a glass jaw…….

I think it’s fantastic to show the infinite ways one can improve upon a physique for performance. And, more importantly, it shows the evolution of your goals. I think THAT is what makes the site interesting. Looking forward to the videos!
