Fitness is not a hobby but a WAY OF LIFE!
Fitness should not be a chore but something we automatically add to our daily routine. Getting fit or maintaining fitness should not be something that could be potentially harmful, but instead it should be something that will prolong our lives and improve the quality. My goal will be to share my experiences as I maintain fitness, prepare for figure bodybuilding competitions as well as train and prepare others!
Let's get fit together!

Build HER Biceps!
I have to say that I have truly enjoyed the last three months of bulking and building. I have my curves back and muscles just keep growing! I have discovered that lifting heavy is SUCH A PLEASURE! I love going the distance! I love loading the rack with 45lbs plates I hearing people whisper, "Is she really going to squat THAT?!?!?!"
Most of all, I have enjoyed eating foods that are healthy, energy providing and clean.
For weeks after my last contest on November 7, 2009, I enjoyed hamburgers, pizza, fries, fried catfish, barbecue wings, and lots of cake!!! I really thought I missed eating those foods. Soon, I found out that it wasn't the food that I missed but the social activities that normally surrounded those foods that I had avoided for months. I didn’t want to risk falling into temptation, so I started avoided occasions with family and friends that I knew would include foods that I just shouldn’t be eating. I didn’t have the wherewithal to just say, "NO!"
After so many months of contest prepping, I had forgotten how to eat like a normal person. It actually took time and the help of a nutritionist for me to find my balance!
So now, 4 months later as I head into contest season, I understand that eating is FOR LIFE. You eat for energy, you eat to restore and you eat to heal. I love the energy that eating clean, whole and healthy foods provides. I can get through any workout and lift as heavy as I want!
I’m a 100% natural figure competitors and I’m building healthy muscle just by eating clean and exercising regularly.
Yes! I can be done.
See you on the stage at NATIONALS IN JUNE!
Ill be documenting my journey here ;)
