Overall Goal: Keeping it real 100% all Natural Baby~ No cheating here~BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS Taking me to my full potential!! ~ Lord I pray to be blessed with the Strength & Determination to drive me to THE #1 SPOT~
Fit Status:
Transformation Prep: 12 Wks out to New Years Reveal
I've been working out since the age of 14. A (bodybuilder) friend of mine introduced me to the sport.~Thank you Robert~ He took me to my first bodybuilding show where Lou Ferigno was the Guest Poser (1983). This is when I knew, fitness (working out) was my calling. I was really shy at the time, but knew that I would one day be up there on stage competing.
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel, Inside and out. (Mentally, Physically, and spiritually). It gives me confidence, relieves stress, and gives me the ability to challenge myself each and every day to reach new levels of performance ~Creating the body I deserve~
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by knowing there is always something more I can get out of it, working towards an extraordinary physique. You will never reach a plateu as long as you challenge yourself all the time. Watching other Figure competitors out there and what they've achieved (PRO's), gives me more drive. I know that I can be up there with the best of them. I just have to keep focused on my goals every day and it is sure to happen.
My Favorite Figure/Fitness/Bodybuilding competitiors:Gina Aliotti,Monica Brandt-Peckham,Pauline Nordin,Gladys Portuguese,Rachel McLish,Flex Wheeler.(Just to name a few).I Dedicate myself to the power of CANI "Constant and Never Ending Improvement".

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
I don't go to the gym for a fashion show. Im not one of these girls that gets all dolled up to workout. I'm pretty hardcore, Im in there for one purpose. I wear what is comfortable and fits the season. I don't go to the gym for a fashion show. Im not one of these girls that gets all dolled up to workout.

Hey, Laura! Sending well wishes and positive thoughts from Cali. Congrats on a successful 2009, and best wishes for success in 2010. Any chance you might appear at Excalibur here in SoCal?
That is AWESOME! Congratulation!!!! And um, you have a feeling? I already know! I will look to see you all over now. I can say I chatted with her way back when… LOL Continued success and blessing to you.
Let me tell you something Ms Bravo, you have ALL my respect and admiration for being the DD!! In my opinion, nothing wrong if one decides to drink or not, but I have a HUGE problem with someone drinking and driving. I am a victim of a drunk driver and believe me, its no walk in the park. Mucho kudo's to you Ma'am!!! Wishing u a wonderful week!
Hey! I pray that you are feeling better. I'm doing well. My training is going good. I feel stronger and I'm making progress towards my weight gain goal. I hope you get to the gym soon. Ricky
