I was motivated by another girl at my gym who was competing in Figure to start competing...so, I decided to take my training to the next level, hire a personal trainer and do a show! It was almost 2 years of training before I did my show, but competing served to be the right outlet for me, as I have always been athletic and into eating clean. I tried doing runs and the recreational sports thing, but nothing was really the right fit until I started doing Figure competitions.
Why I Love It:
It keeps me sane. I really believe that eating and right and working out is just part of my genetic make-up anyway (lol), so I need to keep a regular schedule of eating right and working in order to feel like "ME". It is empowering and extremely invigorating to watch your physique change for the better and get stronger in the process...the gym has always felt like my sanctuary.
How I Stay Motivated:
Competing and fitness modeling! Having a big goal like my Figure competitions and then fitness modeling is very motivating when it comes to sticking to a clean diet and never missing workouts. Having a b/f who is heavily involved in the fitness industry himself, and who is supportive and also acts as one of my trainers is VERY motivating as well...we push and encourage eachother!

Goal (Long):
My goal in the fitness industry is to compete as a top IFBB Figure Pro, fitness model as frequently as possible, work for a sponsor that I believe in and who believes in me and promoting me. I will put on about 12lbs this off-season and add thickness to my back and stream line my lower body this off-season. I want to keep in 5 days of lifting, 20 minutes to an hour of cardio 5 days per week, eat 6-8 clean meals per day with the bi-weekly cheat meal.
Had a famous jphillips17 back workout...super, triple and giant sets galore! :) I have the best training partner ever (wannagetlean)...packed more, finished daily chores, uploaded YouTube videos and one here...updated catherinefitness.com...now time to relax and sleep...GOOD NIGHT!!
