This was taken at the Orthopedic Sports and Medicine. This was the day it was determinged I needed ACL reconstruction. Good news - my bones were just fine.
I wasn't posing for this shot, but I was pleasantly surprised - especially since I had PIZZA just hours before... *smile*

Goal (Long):
My goal is to attain IFBB Pro Figure status. My first milestone to this goal is top 5 placing at National NPC Figure competition.
Unfortunately, this milestone was not realized 9/16/06 as planned at the North American competition. I injured my knee (torn ACL) 2 days before check in.
My "Short, Short Term" goal is to Rehabilitate my Knee - Stronger & Better.
He has helped me understand what MOST don't - me! His direction in my competition prep despite multiple injuries has proven phenomenal. My diet ---> 'PIZZA FRIDAY' all the way up 'til showtime. And NO Ab work in my training regimen. Best Trainer Ever!!! *smile*
What's in a "name"?! Her progress pictures say it all. In fact, when someone doubts their ability to transform to FIT, I make reference to her BodySpace profile. *smile*

Let me break from 'alleged' singing of MY rendition of a renowned tune to answer the query posed, "(How U) Make Me Feel Like a Man Should Make a Woman (Feel)?"
Answer, " Criticize her gluteus maximus." That should do the trick. Ask my hubby. A fabulous example...
