Hello! I've a few short and long term goals in mind and looking for inspiration and motivation from each person that wants to add me. My food diary is an open book for all. I lift weights consistently 5 to 6 days a week and watch my diet like a hawk....using my own body as a test subject to see what it will do with various…

lmao!!! I still dread squatting (knee surgery makes for a mental game)....but there are so many benefits to it that I feel guilty leaving it out...so I press onward! I've met my goal with squats at 145 lbs tho....now to add more reps to it without being a puss... Deadlifts are far more fun for me...with a bad back it's…

@bigme3505...it's ok...I'm finishing up the expresso flavor and will move onto the mocha...a friend recommended the mocha but I've yet to break into it and see if it's any better than the expresso. The expresso is do-able to me once I got used to it...it's no Starbucks or sweet cappuccino! lol

female 42 5'10" SW: 188 GW: 10 to 12% bodyfat... ...so i can cross off my bucketlist being able to stand on stage and do my very first figure competition! (i'm guessing that would put me around 130-150 lbs depending on how much muscle i can pack on this spring/summer) Never too old to try!
