BB Accomplishments:
Right now my biggest accomplishment is just finding time for the gym on top of my other commitments. I'm trying to build muscle (a lot more...) before I begin my competition diet in August.

There is no feeling like being in shape and healthy, and I want to spread health enthusiasm.

I'm not worried about my weight, but by November 2009, I want to be the most toned and curvy I have ever been.
I ‘ve always thought, “I love greasy foods to much to give it up”. But I had to consider, is that really true? Or is that just an excuse I am making because I don’t have discipline? And I decided I need to really choose. There is no such thing as being at optimal health and incredibly...
