Wow, where do I begin...well, I guess I'd have to thank a bad break-up for this (lol). Once I was single I took a really good look at myself and didn't like what I saw. I was never obese but I was in terrible shape, had an extra unnecessary 30 lbs. on me and my eating habits were outrageous...soooooooooo, I just started cutting back on what I ate and saw immediate results. Eventhough I lost the 30 lbs. I still felt out of shape...Enter my brother and the wonderful world of weight training. Under his guidance I learned about exercises and form and that's all it took! I was hooked from that moment on! With the help of Fitness Expert, Cathy Savage, and her SOS program I've competed in 3 figure competitions (2 in 2006 & 1 in 2007). I've decided to take this year off and I'm currently, in the process of fine tuning my physique for next year's competition season.
Why I Love It:
I love the way I feel about myself as a result.
How I Stay Motivated:
Magazines like Oxygen, Muscle and Fitness Hers and American Curves. I hope to be featured in one, if not all of them one day! HOLLAH!!!
BB Accomplishments:
Having people tell me that I inspire them to eat healthy and go to the gym. There's no other feeling like it!

I am presently restructuring my physique to take a stab at NPC in 2010. I'm in "lose bodyfat" mode so I'd like to be down to 120 pounds come January 1st. From here, it's all about getting my muscles to pop.
To me Ava, you're the opitome of fitness success. You overcame challenges in yor life and proved that if you REALLY want something, it can be achieved. Again, thank you for help keeping me inspired.

Okay, so it's been 6 weeks and I'm 8 weeks out from the Naturalmania. Boy I tell ya . . . when I said I had ALOT of work to do, I was NOT joking. At this point, my weight has gone up to 135lbs and that's very disappointing. I upped the amount of cardio time to 45 minutes 5xweek so I'd like...
Hi Icela. Nice to hear from you. How is the prep work going? I am doing ok. Still workout and and still thinking about doing a show and some professional photos. Take care and talk with you soon. Terry
As always, thanks for the love! And the congrats. I'm excited, it's something new. Working on the not looking back thing though, but life is never ideal. So the strong survive it and make the best of every situation.
