OK, I reread the beginning of your log and understand my original question. Your dedication to achieve your goal has helped inspire me to find the motivation to restart my program this week. I love reading your journal.

Thanks, IP

Wow! I just really don't know what to say! Thank you SO MUCH for making my day!

I guess what really keeps me motivated is my love for nutrition and exercise...I am VERY excited to find out what my body can do and not do and what works and doesn't work. I also have a wonderful husband that loves exercise and lifting as much as I do, so that has been a HUGE motivation! Plus, all of the woman on the board, like you, have been great and I feel accountable to all of you! So let's hope I can produce some results!

Though, I have to be honest, this gaining weight thing to put on muscle is VERY new to me and has been a little hard for me mentally, but it is so nice to know that I have people on this board that are reading my log and supporting me!! Being a competitive figure skater demanded leaness with little bulk, so we will see what kind of muscles my body is made of!!
