Tagged Again!

Thanks Ali :-)

Five things you probably don't know about me:

1. My husband and I met in a gym! We got married on our 10th anniversary and have now been together 13.5 years.

2. I have worked as a fitness instructor (weights) and started a nutrition degree but didn't finish it. I'd like to complete it one day, but at the moment I'm just enjoying reading nutrition articles to find out how they can help me rather than understanding all the biochemical reactions involved.

3. I work from home - going to the gym each day gets me out of the house and gives me the opportunity to socialise with other people.

4. I first tried to prepare for a competition about 12 years ago, back when no-fat diets were all the rage. I got lean real fast (probably the leanest my legs have ever been) but had no energy, and ended up sleeping most of the time that I wasn't training (I was only working part time then). I also had upset stomachs from all the protein I was eating. It wasn't until I started working for myself about three years ago that I decided to give it another try.

5. I'm not genetically cut out to do bodybuilding, but I do it because I love it.

I tag Deb, Di, Magda, Tara & Ursula

Myabe if you are nto really the body type for BB, you should give powerlifting a go??

You get a strong, sexy body and you will loose the food fixation!

And by doing that, you achieve and exceed your goals!

Isn't that wonderful! :)
