I decided after having six children I really wanted my body back!

I was feeling depressed, uncomfortable in my own body, and very insecure.

I decided after having six children I really wanted my body back.

I initially started by looking on Bodybuilding.com at all the awesome physiques there. Also seeing so many people overcoming their weight problems and reaching their goals really inspired me!

So I researched and hired a trainer to help me with my nutrition plan and exercise routine. Every 8 weeks or so my trainer changes things up so my body doesn't get used to the same thing.

I have decided that I eventually want to compete in figure!

Day 7: Rest

I have learned that bodybuilding is not something that happens over night. I started my journey in July and it is ongoing. The best thing is to plan, plan, plan.

You will need to plan those meals and also plan for those days you eat out. Also training plans are essential. And have a good trainer. I could not have done this without her.

A good support system is also important. Especially when you have those tough days when everyone is eating pizza and you are eating your chicken and veggies. Having someone there to support you is always helpful to keep you motivated and going strong!
