Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2003/04/30, 01:24 AM I just have to tell you all, since we are doing this competition thing it has motivated me beyond belief!!!! I would like to thank each and everyone of you who has challenged me, mostly the guys, cause I just have to show you that us women can keep up with ya! Today, I have actually increased my back exercises 10 lbs per each. I was a big scaredy cat doing bench presses with the big barbell, so little me was using the ez curl bar with light weights. Well, RW challenged me to use the 45 lbs barbell and guess what? I DID IT!!! and was able to complete all my sets!!! I couldn't believe it so for chest I am increasing that 10 lbs as well!! I've added on cardio days not only 25 minute HIITS/Jogs/Walks in the morning at 4am before I go to work, but also a 25 minute Bike Ride after work!!! MAN IT IS AWESOME!!! I am finding the energy to do all that and never knew I could. I would like to take a moment to thank BB1Fit for all the assistance he has given me with proper nutrition and fitness, I now have a new outlook on just how far i could push myself if i take that extra step. Also, last but not least, I would love to thank Ravenwolf, my soulmate! Babe, I know I am stubborn and hate to listen to you at times, but thanks for the extra push and support you are always giving me not only with my fitness goals but in our life together. I would be lost without you! Uhhhhh Hmmmm.... now back to the comp!! all i have to say is watch out boys cause this Raven's Wings are about to spread!!! lol! -------------- Bettia.... When you feel like giving up, take it to the limit one more time!! You will SUCEED :-)

But ya gotta realize that's the only way we're going to grow, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc... And then you get to taste that sweetness of success! But it's a major bonus when you have someone to kick you in the pants and tell you to quit slackin'! Kudos to RW. Keep it going, and more of the same in the future! -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

BTW, someone told me some good advice the other day when I posted a message about getting my "wings"...they told me that I should be telling others about it because it keeps the rest of us motivated - which it does!
