The Never Ending Journey

DesiraeLynn24

Hello! Technically I've been a member for years however this is my first real attempt at using this site and app. So I figured I'd dive head first into this community.

A little about me:
I am 30 year old Hispanic female. Was a high school athlete and in good shape until an injury my senior year and a second in my early 20's. I skyrocketed to 225 lbs. For the most part I was happy. But I wasn't happy with how I looked, the clothes selections in my size or anything to do with a doctor. The moment that helped turn not just my health but essentially my life around was a Biggest Loser Competition at work. My love of winning along with cold hard cash prize I was able to loose 19% of my body weight. Looking good and feeling good I continued to stay fit and healthy. Thanks in HUGE to my cousin and boyfriend I became introduced to weight training lifting, clean eating and the whirl wind of the body building community. Last summer (2014) I was in the best shape I was in for a long time. My body fat % was below 20% ( I want to say 18%) I was in the mid 140's and through some bad luck in my favor I was able to get some cosmetic enhancement (boobies) done. I had planned on not being able to train and made an outlined, detailed meal plan and progression training plan to follow.... Yeah that did not happen. I have slowly put back on the weight and I am currently 20 lbs over what I weighed a year ago.

Present:
My Goal is to be better than I was this time last year by 2016. Now this gung-ho attitude got me about as far as prepping my meals for today. Yes eating is 80% but I am having the hardest motivation in the morning to wake up. Loud, across the room, annoying alarm and all and I just do not get my butt up. But none the less I will continue to set my alarm and attempt to get up tomorrow. (Not truly an excuse even though it is; it is so hard to get myself out of bed to go to the gym at 3am when there is a sleeping comfy boyfriend who doesn't have to get up for another hour or so right next to me)

I look forward to helping and getting help from all the wonder people on here!
