Angela Johnson had been active for a long time, but she always followed a self-described "loose" diet. Wanting to surprise her husband when he got home from military commitments, she joined BodySpace, stepped up her game, and "Xercisegrl" was born. Now she helps others and inspires everyone along her journey.
Thanks to that social commitment, combined with sound strategy in the gym, kitchen, and her supplement cabinet, she shares her story and plan with you as the newest BodySpace Member of the Month! Check out Xercisegrl and step up your own game!
There was never any single "Aha!" moment. I had been working out and teaching aerobics for many years but always carried too much body fat due to a "loose" diet. What can I say? I love food!
My husband was away for work (he's in the military) and I took advantage of his absence to address my diet and kick my training up a notch. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but so worth it! I feel great!
I would have to say the biggest change is what and how I eat. I am also more consistent in my training and diet.
My husband would order supplements from the Bodybuilding.com store and I eventually started a profile to track my progress. I would also view other profiles for motivation/inspiration!

I'm originally from the south so "home-cooking" (e.g. FRIED!), biscuits and cornbread, and daily desserts were the norm. I wasn't consistent in eating clean. Plus, my portion sizes were WAY off.
I worked out for years, but until my diet was squared away, I was just spinning my wheels!
By keeping me honest! Seriously, though, posting progress pics, interacting with like-minded people, and learning new things - these are just a few of the great things about Bodyspace!
No one can transform alone. Friends and family pressures often force us to transform, but they also serve as our inspiration.
I love following everyone's progress through their progress pics. So motivating!
Thank you to each and every one of you who has stopped by to say hi, comment, support and encourage me in this journey. It never fails.
