My BodyProud Story: Obstacles I Overcame, My Transformations & My Triumphs

Not yet

What It Means to Me to Be BodyProud:

I was moderately active until I was involved in a car accident in 2004.I had a fractured femur,ruptured spleen and pancreas.I was immobile for two months working with a physiotherapist.After 8 months I was walking fine.From then onwards it has been a roller coaster right weight flactuating up and down until I layed my eyes on the Muscle Evolution magazine, from the Muscle Evolution I discovered the Fitness magazine.So now I'm currently using the full body exercises which I made copies and laminated and put them up in my home gym.I'm starting to see muscles I never thought I had and I'm loving every minute I spend exercising.I'm following a high protein diet.I will be going for my body fat assessment soon yey!!!:-)

My Life Message, Dreams, Mission or Cause:

I'm a 33 year old married mother of two.
I weigh 62 Kg's.
Height is 156 cm
Don't really know my body fat % but my scale says its 32%

To Be My Own SUPERHERO, I Challenge Myself to:

Today was my leg day.I did 3 sets of barbell squats 20 reps,calf raises,leg raises,dead lifts,and walking lunges.After that 10 min cardio on a stationary bike.I wish I could have done more cardio but my legs were shaking...

Actions I am Proud to Have Taken:

If you respect your body by giving it nutrient rich foods and get it moving it always rewards you beautifully...If you give it crap then you look and feel like crap.So the decision is yours....

Life Advice that Helped Me and I Believe Can Help You:

Nothing comes easy,but with hard work, determination and commitment anybody can look and feel fabulous any age.Just get started and keep on pushing.

How I Succeeded in Transforming Myself: (my actions, AHAs, or new belief system)

Before I put anything into my mouth I first ask if it's going to support my goals if not,put it away and sing this mantra to myself..."nothing tastes as good as lean feels and looks.Most of the times it works, but if I still feel like having that particular food I'l have it and make sure I do 20 to 30 min cardio..

My bodyPROUD Intentions:

Improve my Health, Increase My Strength, Become a Role Model to My Children & Family, Sculpt My Physique

Please Help ME with:

Nutrition and gaining muscle without gaining fat.I find that when I focus on building muscle I also gain fat, and it's frustrating..

Expressing Gratitude is a Key Ingredient to a Happy Life. I Am Grateful for:

For the life and the body that I have.I almost lost it but I was given a second chance to be still in this body so I have vowed to look after it the best way I know how.
I am also grateful for all the fitness women that inspire us everyday and have paved a way to show those of us behind them that this fitness thing is doable through hard work and commitment.I've had enough of the lies of having a dream body in 30 days!Thanks Nicole for always giving us real facts.
