Overall Goal: 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 after hip/ankle surgery recovery and stay fit to my satisfaction. Life preservation....safety.
Fit Status:
Therapist released me today. Injuries are doing better. Hip still get in the way, but started my strict diet and steady workouts.
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.

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:
Lackland Classic

Depends. But definetely 4 sets per excercise. Maybe 4 to 5 excercises per bodypart. Reps? It fluctuates between 25,20, 18, 15, 10, 8. But, I dont waste a set. If I do 15 reps, but can do 18 I go for it and then I increase the weight. Some days I feel stronger than others.Depends. But definetely 4 sets per excercise. Maybe 4 to 5 excercises per bodypart.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
45 sec to a min. I use my mio watch to keep track of the time. I keeps my heart going and my blood running through my vains. Sometimes, I do lunges, plies or squads between sets with light weight, Oh, and I keep my headphones on so people dont try to socialize. GYM time is my relaxation time. Its like heaven on earth if you know what I mean. That is the time I do things for me...I am in control. (-:45 sec to a min. I use my mio watch to keep track of the time.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
Honestly my own. All of them are different. I dont envy anyone, if I want to look like someone or close to I should know what to do. All celebrities are awesome, but everyone has a different body type. They work so hard and I get tips from all of them. Work with what God gave you.Honestly my own. All of them are different.

My great neighbors got me an Easter Basket with doritos, cheetos, m&m, yougurt glazed "pretzels" and chocolates. I dont buy junk food and whenever I am off season and have the cravings for those I go to their house. Not often, maybe once every two months. Now that I started...
Monday: Chest/Abs
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Off
Friday:Biceps/Triceps/abs
Saturday : Whichever bodypart needing more attention
Sunday:Shoulders and abs
Sometimes I do "leg shredding" excercises between sets if I am not superseting a bodypart to keep my heart rate within...
I, hope everything is going ok, with you hip and knee, I will like to give my condolences and prayer to the family and victims at Fort Hood militray bases. You and all of our Militray personnel do a outstanding job for our country. Be safe young lady , my God be with you.
I am honored to receive such a wonderful reply especially coming from someone such as yourself. Your words touched me so much that I find myself "almost" beyond words, which for me. is quite the statement. Stay strong, focused and determined & may God bless.
Yeah, I can relate...but no kids around to bribe for car cleaning duties. They're too busy playing Madden NFL 2009. Train well, Dee. Aren't you gonna take some real leave soon?
Dee, you are truly a great spirit. Your courage and strength will get you a full and blessed recovery. The stillettos will fit in time...:) My weekend will be low key. Workout and car work on my menu.
