I've moderately worked out my entire life in some kind of a sport but, after my first baby I had to really try to get my body back for the first time in my life. Seriously, I'm sorry to say that I had to recover from gaining 50lbs!!! So, I lost it all and then some when I went below my pre-pregnancy weight. Why stop there? I was on a roll. So, I decided to take it to the next level and here I am.
Why I Love It:
It sets a great mood for the day. Challenges aren't as big to overcome and I have more energy to deal with whatever life has for me that day.
How I Stay Motivated:
Role models like Monica Brant keep my sights high. If she can do it, so can I.
BB Accomplishments:
2nd Place Bikini Division Local NPC Contest June 2009.
3rd Place at the Europa Hot Mom contest April 2009.

Michelleswimfitupdated Fit Status "Just finished the Olympia bikini model search and NPC Nationals in bikini. Taking holidays off to relax and rejuvinate. Looking at 2010."
http://www.bodybuilding.com/2010-bodyspa ce-spokesmodel-search-women.htm. - Vote for me at the BODYSPACE SPOKESMODEL SEARCH :)
Goal (Long):
I would love to get on the cover of Oxygen or Status, or Muscle and Fitness Hers. I'm currently competing in the bikini division and possibly get my Pro card this year.
I have only had one child so far, I know the work that goes into getting your body back while juggling a child. She has done it while juggling 3 children and looks better than most women without any children. What an inspirational woman.
There are so many forces and so called "friends" trying to derail us from our goals. It is just so easy to justify little cheats here and there. That's how it starts. A little cheat here, that little cheat makes it easier to do it again and again and before you know it,...

Thanks for noticing Michelle. I have been working hard, shrunk my waist 3 inches the last 5 weeks lost 4.5#fat and gained 1.5# muscle. 5 weeks from my first show. I am excited, I went and watched my 1st show last sat. I will give you another vote Gorgeous. Please stay in touch. Godly, gorgeous women are a rare thing and I am thrilled to be your friend.
God Bless

Thanks for the kudos. It is much appreciated, and yes indeed it is by far the best stress manager I have ever known. Could explain why there are so many positive people on here.
Hi Michelle, you almost make this look easy! I know it isn't and you have certainly put in the hard work to get here. It is awesome to not just see you get fit, but to excel and take your physique to a very competitive level!
