When I Started:
Jul, 2008
How I Started:
Long story short, was a dancer in high school, did Arena Football cheer leading/dance in my early 20's. After becoming a mother I still wanted to be physically fit and active. Dance studios don't have childcare so I joined the gym. The rest is history.
Why I Love It:
It gives me a sense of empowerment, control, and relief. The way my eating disorder use to in the past. However, I feel even better now because unlike what I did in the past this is something that is GOOD for me!
How I Stay Motivated:
This website and the people on it! Seeing not only results in the mirror but how I feel.
BB Accomplishments:
None yet, it's something I am aspiring to do.

I like her "no excuse" attitude, especially about genetic dispositions. I have a genetic disposition and I am refusing to just accept it thanks to Jencan!

Hey lady , hope you're well. I researched and found a local PRO figure competitor in my area. She was friends with a girl who worked at my gym , so it helps to connect with ppl :-) Get yourself out there and tell ppl what you're doing. Its amazing how wonders of networking help you out in everything. How are things?

How long have you been lifting? I started June 2008 (when I went to my first NPC show as spectator). I promised to be on a stage a year later. But I worked with a trainer for the first few months b/c I was a cardio bunny before and I needed to learn the basics. Safety first lady ;-) Form over ego. Then, you build up! Sending you GREAT vibes! JenCan
Congrats on that decision lady! This is going to be one unforgettable, and life altering journey for you! There are lots of suit sellers out there, i bought mine from Shonna (suits by shonna) She worked closely with me , even on a time crunch! Also, for workouts, I started prepping (cutting) 18 weeks out. You have a trainer?
