Man, she is tiny. I am only a half inch taller than her and can't imagine being that small. I would be happy at 125. :lol

Thank you for saying that. It was crazy when I was looking because there were heights anywhere from 5'9 - up to 6'3, LOL. I am hoping between her site and the NBC site, one of those would be true. It was just nice to see that she is taller and doesn't weigh 110 lbs. Of course, she has a great amount of muscle, but that is cool with me. Again, thanks for saying that. Very nice of you to say that.

They really do have great bodies, don't they? WOW! 99 lbs?!? I wonder what her LBM amount is, can you imagine?!

Yes, I agree. I am going to try to find a couple of pictures to keep me motivated.

They are based in the YMCA, Ginger. Pretty good set up, nice equipment--I used it when I was in town for the Ahhhhhhhnold this year.
Check it out. You'll loooove it.

I totally agree with you about Misty May...I mean who wouldn't want that butt?? Nastia is a bit too light for my taste...but so graceful!

I know! And she's tall and not skinny-minnie, I love that. Yes, she has a great deal of muscle, but dear goodness that bootay is quite wonderful.
A nice (motivating) pic:

Great motivation pics! I watch them in awe, too. Actually I do with most of the Olympic women athletes.

I think I'll pick Dara as my motivation. She's a lot taller than me, but I think she looks great!
How was your weekend, Ginger?

Finding pictures are always a great motivation. And Dara has an awesome body! I think she said, "you can't put an age limit on your dreams" I think that is so inspirational.
Keep up the great work!

Dara is fantastic! I think she's the coolest athlete there. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely mesmerized by the beach volleyball chics. That is definitely the body that I'm hunting for (and I love vball - used to play in HS), but for some reason, Dara is enchanting. The age, the baby, the unconventional workout scheme, and she just seems like a charming lady. Always smiling. Very cool
Also Ginger - don't know if you've seen this but here's Misty's website
Misty May
And here's Kerri's
Kerri Walsh will be back soon
Though it's kind of useless right now since it's down. |

I know it's been a while since the new challenge started, but I'm just finally catching up with your log, and I wanted to stop in and say "HI!" Thanks for visiting my log so long ago
I love your motivation pictures. I'm going to go look for some myself. Great idea. Good luck on your continuing progress - you've done an amazing job already!! |

I thought of you this weekend Ginger! My friends and I were walking around this cute little town in PA and we went into a poster store and guess what poster was displayed hugely in the front window.... you avi! I almost said it out loud to them and then stopped myself because I realized none of them know who you are or even know I'm enough of a dork to frequent a fitness forum, lol. But I thought of you and it made me smile, just thought you should know!
