I'm an ex art model, doing some glamour and figure photography now, but what I really want to get into is fitness modeling, mostly because I'm older now (34) and kid is almost 13. I want to set a good example and body image for him. I have a naturally muscular body type, pretty fast metabolism, but get LAZY at the drop of a hat and solve body fat issues by strict dieting/food obsessive crap. I have always been into good form in the gym, study supplements like they were the evening news, have good endurance, low blood pressure...
My main objective is to get the self dicipline to stick with a routine and diet that is sustainable, and improve my body by summer. I belong to a great gym, though hopefully we will be moving soon.
Another big motivator for me is depression. When I look awesome, it fades. When I work out regularly, it's less of a strain. I isolate a lot, too, so the gym has the potential to be a social place as well. Fish oil is helping me tremendously, and I don't take any other drugs for the depression.
Another motivation is the modeling opportunities. Time in the gym could mean money in the studio, and fitness models can be older. My dream is to get into a magazine. With clothes on! I've been published a couple of times, nothing major, in art publications, etc.
I am also interested in becoming a personal coach, motivator (don't laugh) or personal trainer. Right now I am kind of a coddled trophy wife and lacking a social life, although I have a great relationship with my husband and son.
I just finished reading "The Princessa- Machiavelli for Women" By Harriet Rubin, thus, the screen name "Wild Peace". It basically says not to play by men's rules, and try to beat them, but instead play by your own rules and "best" yourself, your true biggest (potential) enemy. That's true for me, I stand in my own way, no one else really bothers to.
Anyway, I saw John Stone's fitness site and think it's pretty cool. I'd like to do something like it.
I mainly want some encouragement and motivation. I want to develop self dicipline, and as a result, the body I am capable of living in. The life I am capable of living.
