I like to take pictures of my abs for progress. They are my strong feature to gage my nutrition for any shoot. My goal is to eat super clean and step up the cardio additionally to my weight training program till November 19, the day of the shoot! Then I will get to enjoy some turkey dinner...
Here I am backstage with two wonderful contestants! The girl on my right lost 30 lbs. and the girl on my left lost 60 lbs! They both had amazing stories and worked hard for this! I had a great time backstage!
I'm always looking for motivation whether is is a book, photoshoot, or a competition! It keeps me in check!
Goal (Long):
I am a fitness trainer, wellness coach, and model. I love motivating and helping other people reach their goals!! Just because I am a trainer peoeple assume it is easy for me to stay in shape. Yes, I love being healthy, but at the same time I have weaknesses too! I have to motivate and set goals for myself. I will schedule shoots so I have a goal to train for, or read lots of motivational books to change my mind set. My latest goal was 2007 Ms. Bikini Universe this past June in Miami. This was my first major competition!! I worked my butt off (literally) and ate sqeaky clean!! I couldn't believe I end up winning first place! I am still in shock! I have to say the hard work paid off!! Now...my next goal is to set up a shoot so I can keep up my physique!!! I also want to compete in a few more bikini and fitness model competitions because the added pressure of being on stage will make me work out harder! I live a healthy lifestyle. I want to keep it that way! I'm always looking for new motivation whether it is a book, competition, or a shoot.
