I've been active since my track & field/cross country days in high school, in addition to basketball and a general love for being active and the outdoors. I struggled with anorexia as a young teen and from there strived to learn to lead a normal, healthy life while maintaining my figure [I don't have the best genes!]. Through years of trial and error I finally learned the do's and don't's in regards to training and nutrition when I befriended one of the personal trainers at my gym. Since then I have gained a great deal of knowledge as I've gained experience as a professional in the fitness industry.
Why I Love It:
It keeps me healthy, strong and with confidence. I physically love the liberating and independant feeling I get when challenging my muscles and body...mostly because I challenge myself in all other aspects of life already. I love being able to feel and look as strong on the outside as I am in spirit :)
How I Stay Motivated:
Fitness is a way of life for me in and itself. However when I am pushing myself during my workouts, I think about all the struggles I have been through and all of the elements that have tried to keep me from achieving my goals throughout my life. Then I think about all the people who are fighting for their lives and who are less fortunate, and it is almost as though I am "fighting" for a better world for us all. I am a very spiritual person, so this keeps me in tune with my mind, body and soul.
Aside from the spiritual stuff ;) ... I find motivation in other strong, fun-loving women in the industry, and my idol is Monica Brant (like most of us!)
BB Accomplishments:
Got through my first figure comp! That was an accomplishment in itself!! ;D

Nicki that really made my day! There is certainly no reason to doubt. Stay the course, do what you know has to be done, and you will shine on stage. I will most certainly be root'n for you!
Nicki, you have done an impressive job over the last two years! You didn't just get fit...you have excelled and really brought your physique up to a very competitive level. Best wishes for your upcoming show!!!
Setbacks SUCK...but I'm happy to hear your pushing on!!! I'm just 4 days out...I'm very happy with how I look, going to bring my best package and whatever happens happens =)
Have been working on classes for work and trying to do my school work. Will get my training in tonight. Due to this, my weekend was very long and boring. Oh, well. maybe the week will be better. How is ur day going?
