As a child I was very athletic and involved in many sports like softball, tennis, gymnastics and cheerleading. Over the years the majority of my workouts have been cardio and I know now that's why my body won't change (and that I was actually burning muscle). That's all changing now.
Why I Love It:
I love the way it makes me feel. That feeling that I've done something good for myself. It's great stress management as well.
How I Stay Motivated:
My husband ("v4lu3s" on here) is one of my greatest motivators. I also like to read health and fitness magazines and forums to help me stay focused. Just knowing that I'll be standing half naked on a stage in front of a few hundred people is motivating in and of itself.
BB Accomplishments:
1- Being side by side to a male ez bar curling 50lbs while I'm curling 70 and seeing the look on his face when he realizes it.
2- Getting on a stage with two little pieces of cloth on and being in the greatest shape of my life.

Nothing tastes better than thin feels!

Well, I've been in Kuwait now for a couple of days and have spent a lot of time in the gym. The gyms here at Camp Arifjan are squared away. There is definitely plenty to do and lots of classes of all t ypes to take from Cardo Kickboxing to Boxing to Spinning, etc etc. so no excuse not...
Metroflex Gym, #1 Hardcore Gym in America, is hosting the Texas Strong Man Competition this Saturday in Fort Worth starting at 11 am. For more information visit www.metroflexgym.com. Hope to see you there.
Hey there!! My wife and I watched you compete at the Branch Warren. We were there with a friend of ours (gmcaplan on my friends list)..
Looks like I'm going to throw myself to the wolves this coming spring, and compete in the Next Branch Warren myself!!
This should be interesting!!
Great job in the show tho, you were one of our favorites!!

Thanks for your message- I haven't competed yet, shooting for spring now. Do you have any shows coming up? .. oh and where have you gotten your suits??
i did fitness, i got third :( i didnt do as well as i wanted but it was my fault i messed up hardcore in the morning bc i forgot my choreography at prejudging!!! i was so nervous, then i knew i messed it up so bad i had a little bit more water than i should have
judging is alwayssubjective, but I bet you learned alot and thats what is important. The experience. Ohg and wasnt that heart pounding nervousness a little addicting?
You sound like a wise young lady especially with what you said as far as competing and learning from it. That is the best way and I wish you much success.
