"Let happiness be your compass in life. Use happiness to guide you...give you direction. Stand in the mirror and self reflect not just on the outer, but the inner as well. Smile and enjoy life... Hotlanta, here I come...with a smile :-)"

Personal Info And Background:
Real Name: Trish Houston
Sex: Female
Age: 35
Location: Houston, Texas, United States
Occupation: Energy Analyst and Consultant
Personal Website: http://To be released in Oct 08
Gym: One-2-One Training Center (713) 339-1100
Gym Location: Houston, Texas
When I Started: Jun, 1999
How I Started: I used to love eating hamburgers and pizza (large pizzas) on a daily basis. My brother would walk around teasing me about how much my triceps would jiggle. Both he and my dad created a song about me sitting at the table and watching me eat (to the tune of I'm A Little Teapot). My brother started competing in the late 90s. It wasn't until my dad's health started taking a downward turn did I realize the value of one's body. My dad's disabilities (multiple sclerosis, congestive heart failure, and double leg amputee) helped shaped me and gave me the desire to better my body. He depended on me as well as my strength to get him around. Because of both my dad and brother, I joined the gym and now find the gym as a second home.
Why I Love It: I love the lifestyle; I loving helping others achieve their personal best; I love wearing a size 0 and having to get my clothes altered.
How I Stay Motivated: I strive to be better than I am the day before. I look forward to achieving my personal best. It also helps to have a great support team. My big brother, Peter, and the best trainer in the world, John Sherman, help keep me focused and on track.
BB Accomplishments: (1) 2008 NPC - USAs - 4th Middleweight
(2) 2007 NPC Nationals - 16th Middleweight (was not ready to be a middleweight)

Forum Signature: When was the last time that you laughed at yourself? Try it sometimes as you will see that it will make you smile.
