My username come from one of my other passions. Weight lifting! I enjoy having a muscles a little larger than the "average" gal and being strong (this comes in very handy when gardening!). So, orchids are this Muscle Girl's hobby

Hello! My middle name is your first name, but I spell it Nicole. For being in this game for 2 years, you sure are accumulating plants fast! I have been doing this about 5 years and have about 70-80ish plants. Most of mine are blooming size though...only about 15 are babies. How often do you life weights? What about diet? Do you have to follow a strict diet to keep up your physique?

I don't find too many people who spell it the way I do. I had a substitute teacher take note because hers was the same, and I had a girl who worked for me also with the same spelling.

As for the diet and working out. Some time are better than others! I used to lift 4-6 days a week. I also enjoy running and my mountain bike. However, I am also a disabled veteran. Lately I've been having some issues and haven't been able to exercise as much as I'd like. I've put on a few pounds. Oh well, it'll come off when I'm back in the game. I have had periods where I was obsessed with my diet, tracking every calorie and whether they were from protein, fat or carbs. This ususally happens in the spring as soon as I see a bikini in a store! lol But, most of the time I just focus on healthy, natural an un-processed foods. Um.... but I did have pizza for dinner last night
