I have always loved working out in the weight room... I began to discover my passion for it while I was on the track team in high school. I never really persued it however, until this past year. I began reading about figure and fitness competitors in 2006, did a lot of research and decided that this was something I wanted to persue.
Why I Love It:
I love it because I can feel my body and health improving with each weight I lift. It's an awesome natural high!! My goal is to improve with each weight lifting session. I love lifting weights because you can never stop making goals for yourself and you're always being challenged.
How I Stay Motivated:
I stay motivated by thinking about how great I feel as soon as I step foot in the gym and how great I feel while I'm working out. Yeah, sometimes it's tough, but I love working through it knowing that I am accomplishing something.

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I have entirely eliminated sugar, bread, grains, and flour from my diet...with an occasional splurge here and there:) I eat only....vegetables, protein, Greek yogurt, berries, nuts, and LOTS of CHEESE!!! I only drink water and tea and Protein shakes made from the Greek Yogurt. I have eliminated the previous after doing plenty of research as to how bad these foods/ingredients can be for an individual. I feel great after a year of doing this. My stomach is flatter, not as much bloating from the crappy food, fat loss is quicker, and I have more energy in the gym too!!I have entirely eliminated sugar, bread, grains, and flour from my diet...with an occasional splurge here and there:) I eat only....vegetables, protein, Greek yogurt, berries, nuts, and LOTS of CHEES...more
Why I like this video: I like this video because it shows a good example of what the FEM Camp is like and afterward it gives a good explanation of why someone should superset in their exercises as well as talking about each individual exercise and what muscle group it specifically works.

Ok....Here goes....I need to get this out of my system because not 1 person around me could possibly understand my goals at the moment. When I first started to lift weights competing was only a distant thought. But now, I'm hooked....Yeah my workout slacks a little and my diet slacks a...
