Remember

Skin

Yes, I have stretch marks.

 And after 18 hours of labor,

 I earned them...

and have continued to earn them every day since.

 I forgot how much this hurts. F*ck! 

Fit and Fabulous!

 Michael pushed me tonight and it was fantastic!

 Wait, he would say he pushes me every night...

and he does,

 Im just extremely happy with tonight's workout.

 Im feeling it and I know my ass is going to hurt tomorrow

 and that my friends is fabulous!

That Way Again

The Correlation Analysis

My daughter and I at the statue of liberty.

 Maybe some day these kind of quotes will be powerless to me.

 But until then,

 they will continue to talk to me

 and give me the drive to keep walking.....

running...crunching...lifting...

and there it is,

 the direct correlation.

Time Is On My Side

Left taken 3-20-11 with my iphone 4,

 size 12 jeans (clearly too big), a medium shirt with a 36 DD bra.

Right taken 9-2-12 with my iphone 4S,

size 12 jeans (that I paint in cause I love them), an XS shirt, and a 32D bra.

 Was I happy with my image then, absolutely.

 Is this subtle change worth the money,

 time, effort and pain?

 Without a doubt.

 I told a friend last night

 this its a long slow process,

 and it is.

 Change does not happen over night
and it is not easy.

 But, the only thing stopping you from having the body

 and over all health you have always wanted, 

is you!

Boob Sweat

Michael told me to,

 "do something with that hair

 and loose the makeup"

 ...so I did. 

I won't give away all his secrets though,

 because you should go see for yourself.

 Word has it, he loves to demo.

 You can find him at the Alaska Club.

Mirror Mirror

Every morning I get up and look at my body.

I admire the changes 

and take note of what still needs a lot of work.

There was a point in time

 when I did not have any mirrors in my home.

But I want you to know;

Never be afraid to look in the mirror and judge yourself.

Instead, be afraid of never looking in the mirror.

Alaska Mens Run July 21, 2012

 It was raining at the start line,

 and rained the entire race. 

But, it was for a good cause,

 to raise local funds for grants in the community for support and research related to prostate and testicular cancer.

  At the finnish line! They had FREE food! 

 ...And I placed!!! 

Came in 3rd in my age division

 and crushed my time from last year

 by 7 min and 36 sec!

 ...thats almost a whole mile a head of myself.

Turnagain Arm Trail, Anchorage AK

Peace on Earth

No place I would rather be,

 then this moment,

 this place, this time.

 The warm sun, the beautiful mountains,

 the ocean breeze with the sound of the waves

 and my beloved train tracks.

 I dont know where else I could be

 that could deliver this all at once.

 Pure Delight.

Correct Squat Form

Before I start to add weight, its important to me that I have the correct form down to avoid injury. One thing Im watching is to not let my knees extend beyond my toes, which you can see Im close to doing so. 

Thank you to the random teenage boy that took my pictures. When I asked him to just capture me in a few positions, I found it awkward when he then stepped behind me and started taking pictures of my ass...great. 

Motivation to work out.

You may find inspiration through other success stories, watching others at the gym or going to competitions.

 But the best form of inspiration

 in my option comes from within. 

Dont be afraid to judge yourself.

 Look in the mirror and decide what you want to change.

 It is possible!!! 

The body is a living, breathing cell and you can alter it!

 Ive said it a million times,

 the only thing that is stopping you from reaching your goal,

 is you!
