Iam basically maintaining...at 225- 230# @ 10-12%...my waist is small now (31")...that was biggest goal..I dont think with my job and hours that I could maintain a lower BF for any length of time...(few days)..strength goals are really all I shoot for now, but are not as important as they used to be...so, Puddles Iam with you-maintaining is the most sought after goal at this point...Getting any bigger is NOT helping on the "singles front" I assure you....

Once I'm done with my job, I'd like to get my bf tested so I can see where I am but I'd still like to lose a little more & get a bit more defined and maintain my size 8!!
(I used to be a size 16!!)

Short term.
I've beed feeling better these past two months and since spring is trying to show herself and I'm going to try and get back into my rollerblade racing.
Post Fall
When the rollerblading is done I've going to take a few weeks off , come back and then try and put on a few pounds pounds of muscle through the winter.

I don't know anymore. I have had to totally step back and reevaluate what I want to do with myself. I thought I wanted to do a competition, but I am seriously doubting that now. I am at a point in my life where there are so many other things I want to concentrate on, and fitness is not ranking high on that list. I have spent so many years not feeling good about myself, always thinking I am sub-par, and berating myself for not being "dedicated enough" or "serious enough" to do a competition. Finally I am starting to see the idiotcy in that. The fitness life is very hard on the self-esteem. I am not sure what I want anymore.
I put on several pounds of muscle this winter, balanced out my upper/lower body pretty nicely. But I also added some fat.
Short Term.....through the summer.....get rid of this fat, about 5lbs of it, so maybe 2-3%BF.
Long Term....still figuring that out. I want to be healthy, both physically, mentally and emotionally. I am trying to figure out HOW.

Well, I was at my highest weight after my husband left in Nov. 1996 -- 170!! At 5'4" tall, that's heavy! So, I started slow -- just walking, then slowly changed my diet, then more diet changes & am still making changes. Added weights, cardio, cut cardio, added kickboxing, stopped kickboxing, met my current husband, lifted heavier, blah blah blah.....so my fitness journey started in 1997 & still continues......
Thank you sir for the compliment!

So, DG, you're not doing the competition now? If you have mixed feelings, I agree it's a good idea to take a step back & re-evaluate. Good luck with that & post up what you're up to.....we're here for ya!!
