When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
I've been pretty active all my life. My weight's been a rollercoaster ride and now I'm finally heading in the right direction. Since having my daughter in Oct. 2007, I wanted to set the right example for her and for all moms out there who don't think they can do it.
Why I Love It:
It is a great stress release. I love the power I get from lifting. I love being able to handle a lot of weight, especially when I can lift more than the guys!!
How I Stay Motivated:
Seeing/feeling the pump after a workout is the greatest motivator for me. Also looking back at my before pics and clothes that are falling off of me helps a lot too!
BB Accomplishments:
Placed 3rd!!!! Women's Open Bodybuilding Class, WNBF Mid-America Pro Am Show. Aug. 1st 2009
Forum Signature:
EVERYTHING that is worth having is worth WORKING HARD for.

Goal (Long):
I will lose approx 8-10 lbs of fat and gain about 5-10 more lbs of muscle before I compete this fall.
I goal is to pack on as much muscle as I can before May 31....I am traveling out of the country for 2 weeks so I will be using bands to lift with since there are no gyms in the area...I will do whatever it takes to keep my shape.
Then as of May 31st, I'll be focusing on leaning out...lot's of cardio. I will be starting my pre-contest diet. I already eat very healthy so it will not be a shock. I am so excited!! Did I say that already?
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
8%
Upcoming Contest:
Pinnacle Athletic Club Showdown

How has bodybuilding and fitness helped and/or changed your family life?
I manage my time much better than I used to. My health is so important to me as my family's health is also. Working out has become a top priority for me in my daily schedule. I want to set a good example for my daughter and my husband.I manage my time much better than I used to. My health is so important to me as my family's health is also.

Ok, so I have a month....not much time at all. I haven't had a lot of time to sit and post. But I wanted to keep you all posted on my progress. I am currently on the Cut Diet w/ Team Scivation. I wanted to thank them, Derek especially, for being so patient with all my questions and getting back...
I posted a new video on Youtube. Try out the workout and tell me what you think, and if it helped in improving your athletic performance.

Thanks for your comments on my recently posted pics! It means a lot that you would take the time to do that. I would love to see you at Indy if you can make it. You have a great show as well. It's coming up soon if I remember correctly.
New progress pic is awesome! I thought you looked good at E'ville, but you just moved up another notch on my looking good meter!. Don't you have another show coming up shortly?
Good luck at the show, i wouldnt adjust anything, you look great right now. youll smoke the competition, put up some stage shots when the comp is over.
Yes, absolutely! You did better than well...Should have gotten second at least. You were cut more than the 2nd place. glad you heard me yell..lol..I think I saw a smile after I did that..hmmm?..thanks for the thought on the tix, but we couldn't make the nite show due to prior commitment, but I am glad I got to see you compete. You might consider competing in the show in Indy Sept 26. That will be my first comp...
Need a report. I was there for pre-judge. Yelled your number a couple times. My wife and I both agreed if you didn't win 1st, it had to be a close second...
