When I Started:
Sep, 2000
How I Started:
I got divorced and thought it was time to improve my appearance.
Why I Love It:
Working out just makes me feel better.
How I Stay Motivated:
Knowing I'm not getting any younger, but that I'm looking better than ever is pretty motivating. (oh yeah, plus the positive comments you get on BB.COM)
Keep competing and trying to improve in some manner at each show.
Goal (Long):
I would like to compete at least 4 times in 2008. At each contest, I would like to show some improvement..ie, better conditioning, a more commanding stage presence, better routine, etc. I cannot be worried about what the other competitors come with, I can only strive to improve myself at each event. Regardless of the outcome of the shows, I want to have fun and be glad that I am able to participate in such a cool sport.
Just returned from the 2007 INBFWashington State Natural show in Arlington, WA (just north of Seattle) produced by Kevin and Denise James. This show was a total blast. I couldn't believe how nice everyone was....the competitors (not a single arrogant ass in the bunch), staff (very helpful...
Hey I was thinking that if Kev and Denise wanted to come on Sunday it would be great for everybody to get together again..... Just a thought, wish us luck!!
Sounds great Mark! We have really been trying for our best. I would like to be bigger, leaner...richer, better looking etc etc but am thankful for where I am right now. Julie looks GREAT and I really want to see her win this thing! She has already won in my book as her determination and focus have been really fun to watch. I will give you a call Saturday! Wish you guys were there:)
If that is the case then maybe I will find something else. We have some here but they are all Non-Drug tested events. I may enter one anyway just because there is 3 of them equally spread apart in the year, and all in town. It could be good practice.
No show picked yet. You know me, I'm in, then I am on hold for work or something. Excuses really. I am trying ,again, to get ready for a Spring show. I should have this contest prep thing down pat now!! I will stay in touch and let you know. Been wanting to do the Mile High for years, may go up for that next year. I'm not big enough to competet in Texas...everythings bigger...Later.
Sure thing, we are up for Sunday.... We will have to think of a good place, Camano would likely be a long trip for you...or we could do Everett waterfront. We will work it out as the time nears. Hope u2 are doing great!
I will check with Denise when I get home abuot the dinner. It sounds great!!! Sorry to hear that you can't make it to Vegas!! We will miss you and have a beer for you!!
Darn, wish you could have made it.... needed some PRO advice:) I work on Saturday nights and dont have any vacation time left for the next week. I would hate to miss you guys again!
Denise Won her pro masters figure card at the show and she took 3rd place in women's pro body building. She looked awsome! She had a blast and I'm so proud of her!!
Haha!! You are too funny.... I am so happy for you and know how deserving you are. Watch out, now you given me inspiration to reach new heights! Stay well.
Congrats to the most recent pro card recipient!! Now you really have to get to work, just don't foget us little people who aspire to reach your level:). Keep up the great work Mark, we are really happy for you!
Congrats Mark on a great showing!! Julie said you really looked great, I wish I could have been there! A pesky little thing called work kind of got in the way but I was thinking about ya:). You've had a long year of kicking butt, any more shows?? Again, Congrats and give my best to Ronda!
Hey Mark! I had a blast meeting you and competing on stage next to you! You looked awesome! Keep up the amazing work and keep in touch, lets do it again next year!!
