Gym Location:

When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I was brought up in a very active family, with my father owning a bike shop, I raced BMX, danced and played basketball. Sport has been my life. I started doing weights to tone up originally, but then I loved the changes it made to my body, so after 3yrs I just kept going back. I would like to put all my hard training to good use and achieve a goal of getting up on that stage and showing it off and hopefully inspire others to get out there and achieve their goals!!
Why I Love It:
It keeps me sane. If I've had a bad day at work I can release all that built up frusteration and feel awesome afterwards. Looking in that mirror and actually liking what I see.
How I Stay Motivated:
Look back at before and after shots. Visualize myself up on the stage beaming with confidence and pride.
Having wonderful supportive partner, friends and family with encouraging words.
Motivation is just an emotion, If I feel low I get up and do it because I have to to be able to acheive my goal!
BB Accomplishments:
Reaching a weight I am finally happy with.
Winning my first Figure Comp at the ADF INBA Titles and backing it up 5days later and winning the NSW State INBA Title - Ms Figure Intermediate.

Before I began seriously training. Looking flabby and don't like looking back at that pic now...
To not get post comp syndrome... I WON both ADF INBA Title and NSW State INBA Title!!!
Goal (Long):
I'd like to Inspire/reassure other girls not to be scared of weights. You won't get 'huge' just by picking one up.
For the last two years I've wanted to compete and get up on that stage, but my confidence and other reasons held me back, but It's time to rid myself of excuses and take the bull by the horns - so to speak - and 'Just Do It' (thanx Nike).
All the years of complaining 'I can't tighten my glutes, my thighs are fat - Blah blah blah' Well in 4months I've dropped from a 12 to a 9 and I had to re-new my wardrobe (bummer)and all that I had changed was my attitude. No more 'I can'ts' and more like 'Bring it On!'
I want to remain this way, if not better, even after having Children.
If I don't place high this year in a Comp, I won't throw the towel in, I'll take what I learnt and what I need to improve on and make sure I kick arse the next year!
Do you sometimes use energy enhancing supplements?
Yes
Which supplements do you take? When do you take them?
Only for endurance events, eg Kokoda and cycling. But not for gym workouts. Only GU gels, or an electrolyte powder. Nothing outrageous.

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
I don't aim to look like someone else. I'm doing it for me and to love what I see that's all my doing. Not trying/wishing to be someone else as that will never happen. That's what people need to realise. You can't strive to have the body of someone else. You can envy it, but I would not base your goals around it.I don't aim to look like someone else.

Do you currently have a workout partner?
Yes
Why do you like having a workout partner? What are the benefits?
But he's leaving soon:(
Adds more motivation. I'm competitive so enjoy pushing his and my limits. Keeps me disciplined and look forward to training and sharing my thoughts and get contructive criticism and feedback. But he's leaving soon:(
