Hi everyone, glad to see something on the net that is exclusive to Canadians! I also visit BB.com, great site but everything is geared to Americans, contests, product reductions etc, its not fair.
Anyway, I have been lifting for about a year. I was almost 200 lbs in 2006, didn't see the 200 mark because I had made a decision to not EVER see that on the scale!
On Oct 1st 2007 I quit smoking cold turkey, joined a gym that same day and have never looked back!
Now my goal is to achieve the body I have been chasing for oh most of my life I would say! Been a yo-yo forever, but lifting really made things start to change in terms of body size and shape.
I started training with a great trainer, and I had decided to start training for a figure competition, we were doing well, I was lifting heavier and heavier and then BAM! Well, not realy BAM because I should have stopped lifting when it started to hurt...but I didn't and now I am off work for 6 weeks already for tendonitis and its taking FOREVER to heal. There goes any hope of competing in anything I can't even lift a pillow now without being in pain! Anyway lesson learned! Once I am 100% back, I will start again, my hopes and dreams of competing in figure one day have not died completely! If I know my amazing trainer well, he won't let me give up! That guy really can kick my arse in the gym!
Anyway that's me and I hope to gain as much knowledge and info here as i do on BB.com! Except you all are Canadian and that makes it 10X better!:fwave
