I was motivated by another girl at my gym who was competing in Figure to start competing...so, I decided to take my training to the next level, hire a personal trainer and do a show! It was almost 2 years of training before I did my show, but competing served to be the right outlet for me, as I have always been athletic and into eating clean. I tried doing runs and the recreational sports thing, but nothing was really the right fit until I started doing Figure competitions.
Why I Love It:
It keeps me sane. I really believe that eating right and working out is just part of my genetic make-up anyway (lol), so I need to keep a regular schedule of eating right and working in order to feel like "ME". It is empowering and extremely invigorating to watch your physique change for the better and get stronger in the process...the gym has always felt like my sanctuary.
How I Stay Motivated:
Competing and fitness modeling! Having a big goal like my Figure competitions and then fitness modeling is very motivating when it comes to sticking to a clean diet and never missing workouts. Having a b/f who is heavily involved in the fitness industry himself, and who is supportive and also acts as one of my trainers is VERY motivating as well...we push and encourage eachother!
BB Accomplishments:
Receiving my IFBB Figure Pro Card at the 2008 NPC Jr. Nationals in Chicago, IL!

hollandcchanged Overall Goal: "LIVE Chat Shows every week, FREE to my members at: www.catherinefitness.com Wednesdays 9pm EST!."
As you can see, when I first decided to start training for a Figure show, I was very imbalanced from top to bottom. And I know, it's a pretty hot pic :)
My back is slowly responding...my most stubborn body part!
LIVE Chat Shows every week, FREE to my members at: www.catherinefitness.com Wednesdays 9pm EST!
Goal (Long):
My goal in the fitness industry is to compete as a top IFBB Figure Pro, fitness model as frequently as possible, work for a sponsor that I believe in and who believes in me and promoting me. I will put on about 12lbs this off-season and add thickness to my back and stream line my lower body this off-season. I want to keep in 5 days of lifting, 20 minutes to an hour of cardio 5 days per week, eat 6-8 clean meals per day with the bi-weekly cheat meal.
Less than 4 weeks to go now until making my pro debut at the Orlando Europa Supershow of Champions on April 17th!! These pictures were taken Friday evening (3/20). I was down to 125.5 lbs Saturday morning, which is almost 5 lbs less than my stage weight last year at Jr. Nationals. I'm so...
Hey! ...How are you? Been a while...how's your week is going? ...looking great love...Keep up the great work and stop by sometime and say hello...
