When I Started: Jul, 2007
How I Started: Since my childhood, I have been very athletic. Tought aerobics for 5 years in college. Have worked out ALL my life but, it was not until I made it a definite goal and dream in my mind that I made it possible. I actually started by doing bench press single lifts on several powerlifting competitions setting records for the state of TX, but there are not many close to where I live. I looked at a pic of myself back in Jan 05 and had to really think hard on my health and safety.
Why I Love It: Working out for me is a LIFESTYLE, a way of living. It helps me relieve so much stress from the day to day activities. In the nutshell, it puts a smile on my face and it is really contagious. I love being able to help others through my story and continuos progress. It helps me remember where I started from and where I what I want to achieve.
How I Stay Motivated: In many ways... But honestly, muscle and fitness magazine and bodybuilding.com are a must on my daily "chores". I turn negative comments into positive ones by working out and sweating off my frustrations. I think on where I was and where I am and how hard has it been to get here. I read Muscle and Fitness Magazine while doing certain cardio machines to stay motivated....It really helps to pass the time.
BB Accomplishments: Had the guts to step on stage at the Heart of Texas 07 and Lackland Classic 07 on NPC shows. NOW, that was a dream come true...scary, oh yeah! Rewarding? Definitely. Set bench press single lift TX state records on powerlifting.

Goals:
Main Goal: Compete
Goal (Short): Dream on getting my pro card and if God allows compete as an IFBB Figure Competitor. Goal is to lower my bodyfat as low as I can and stay fit to my satisfaction. Life preservation....safety.
Goal (Long): Through my whole life I have dream on competing but due to work schedules and other responsibilities it was impossible and every time I started I had lots of set backs. Always wanted to be a professional bodybuilder but because of my career, I opt on being a figure competitor(which is not bad at all).....it does not go to good with too much muscle. I need the speed, but the strenght as well. I did some single lift bench press powerlifting in the past, but it was not as rewarding as figure competition. When I was a child I would look up to Cory Everson and wish that I could be as muscular, slim, strong, fit and have the feminine look like her. I don't want to settle for just being in shape, I want to exceed my high expectations (believe me when I say that)! I dont want to be an ordinary normal woman, abnormal is more fun. Keep people guessing. I want to maintain a great abdominal section, a low bodyfat and feel confident everywhere I go....but at the same time, I dont want to look sick. I want my legs to be slim and tone but as muscular as my upper body....I already have the mass, they just have to come down a little bit more. I have a puertorican lower body...what can I say? But, super happy with what God gave me, would not have it any other way. I would like to be 130 pounds, with 10-12% bodyfat, and be able to run forever....and I mean that. I know with focus, full dedication, persistance, patience, and commitment I can accomplish it in the near future. If it's God 's will it will happen....For now, it is my misssion.
Weight Goal: I want to LOSE 12 lb
Bodyfat Goal: 10%
Upcoming Contest: NPC-Anheim, CA

Hey, Dee! Great to hear from you and that you're back home. I admire your discipline. U know, I had no idea that honeydew melon had so many carbs. Had to cut it out as well as the nuggets. Could've knocked me over.

We do the glutamine capsules simply for the ease of carrying things with you to work etc. We take 5 grams, 4 times per day and carrying a tub around along with managing meals could get cumbersome unless you have other ideas. VPX bars are the best out there health and we think taste wise as well. The major drawback is they are very high in calories (about 440) per bar, but can be split in half if need be. Congrats again on your successes!
