Overall Goal: Can't wait to compete again - but first gotta tackle exams. Got my mind set on some A's and then on gaining 5lbs of muscle mass. I have a good idea of my weak points now that I've had an opportunity to see my foundation after being so lean. Thank you
Fit Status:
Thank you everyone for all your support, best wishes and choosing me as an inspirational member (if you've done so)
Honestly - I started going to the gym to see this guy that I thought was really cute...he practically lived at the gym. Eventually the guy phased out of the picture and fitness became an avid interest, especially when I started seeing changes in my body (weight loss, toning, increased capacity for cardio, etc). I was inspired by fitness personalities such as Monica Brant, Valerie Waguman, Gina Aliotti and others...I loved the strong lean, cut curvatures and I wanted the same for myself. It's amazing when you can sculpt your body in almost any way you like!! ( I wanna round out my delts....or I am gonna work on an apple bum....or I think I need a V-taper..)
Why I Love It:
I love to sweat, I love the pump, I love the rush...The gym is the place I go when I need to get away from it all and release frustration - and I always leaving feeling 10 times better than I did before. I love seeing my body transform...I absolutely love testing my limits...I get excited about setting and surpassing goals I set out for myself...Where I come from (Trinidad) and where I live currently (St.Catharines/ Mississauga, Canada), there aren't many women who are into the bodybuilding scenario. There's a certain feeling of pride I get walking into a weight room dominated by bulky males...and not feeling one ounce of intimidation. Because of my training - my confidence level has sky rocketed....
***definition of Vain: having or showing undue or excessive pride in one's appearance or achievements...
Taking this into consideration, I suppose I can be called vain...but I worked hard to get where I am today, and I am proud of my achievements...regardless of other people's opinions of whether or not it might be excessively so...
How I Stay Motivated:
Well...it's not about motivation anymore - its an absolute obsesion. If I miss a day of training (not including off days) - I feel frustrated, guilthy, miserable and lethargic...Training is certainly a way of life and living.
BB Accomplishments:
Dropping from 190lbs to 140lbs.
Significantly increasing my muscle mass.

Goal (Long):
My long term goal is obviously to keep fit and healthy. I'd like to round out my glutes... I need to work on my endurance so that one day I can take the initiative and run a 25k marathon. Considering that when I started off - I couldn't run 5 minutes on the treadmill at 5.2 without becoming quite breathless, and now being able to run over half an hour on a 2% incline at 6.8, I think I've come a very long way. My rolemodels are strong, powerful, assertive, independant, intelligent women - therefore to complement my strength of mind, I'd like my body to reflect that as well.
Reason?? Her grogress pictures are all the reason in the world. They tell a story of committment and dedication in the strictest sense and making your genetics work for you. Her legs are amazing!
OMG!!! From the vids I've seen - I absolutely love the intensity at the gym while still maintaining the peak of strength and balancing perfectly with feminity... One of my top 3 female faves.

I've been a fan of bodybuilding for a long time...but it isn't until now that I decided to compete and have the first hand experience of prepping, that I fully appreciate what these athletes have to endure while maintaining the balance with the rest of their normal lifestyle... I'm doing...
Your looking amazing ! Your discipline shows not only in your physique development but also in your studies, keep up the good work that 5 lbs of muscle will be yours in no time (and so will the A's in biochem hehe)
Thank you so much for the kind words. Now tell me, how difficult was your contest prep diet? What was it like? Your profile pic shows a perfectly dialed in physique! Did you manipulate your water or sodium in any way?
6 weeks? Damn, I hate you genetic freaks... ha ha... I can't imagine what you will look like with a 10-12 week prep, wow. I'm getting ready to do a show sometime in April or August. I've done 4 shows in 1.5 years so my body needed this year off. But girl, I'm still very impressed with your physique. No bull, start looking at pro card qualifiers because you got "it" and some.
