Hey everyone, my name is BERTA, I am 36 years old (Now and forever)..lol.. I am a Labor and Delivery nurse who so wants to reach my very ultimate goal in fitness. My journey has been over around 4 years. I have had good losses followed with some gains. I have been 200+ lbs (threw the scale away at that point so I don't really know the real number) and have gotten down to 145. I am currently at 152. I wt train 3 days a week, faithfully even with the wt gain. My downfall is cardio, during the summer months I cardio every day even after working 12+ hours at work, but when winter comes I struggle to cardio 1-2 times a week. That is when the wt comes on.
The changes in my body are huge. I am more fit now than I ever dreamed. But could easily loose 30 or more lbs and want to. I know under this is some awesome muscle. Some of which I can see now but am tired of hiding whats lurking just beneath the surface. I have come to far to stop now and I owe it to myself to finish this journey once and for all. I realize this isn't just a destination, a place I want to visit but a place I want to live.
My ultimate goals are to get to 12-15% Bodyfat, weight wise somewhere around 120. But am willing to adjust when I see where I am at. Right now my goal is 130-135 . Acutally I am looking forward to reaching the 140's again. When you are big you think I will never gain wt again after I get this off. But in truth it is always something that can creep back if you don't fight all the time. My downfall is that I am not consistant. If I am not currently in a challenge where the stakes are high, than I can not on my own stay commited. It takes a great leverage to keep me focused. I have trouble staying true to myself.
I am looking forward to learning from you girls, I will be at my goal by March 29, 2004, which is my 37th birthday......oops 36...lol now and forever.
