When I Started:
Jul, 2003
How I Started:
Had never "worked" out before and decided on my birthday to try it...Realized I didn't know what I was doing so got with a trainer...quickly got in shape as far as weight loss etc..but was asked if I would consider being training partner to my trainer...asked if I wanted to just "maintain" or take it a step further...entered my first show in fall of 2006 and finished first and overall in six shows the first year...
Why I Love It:
I adore bodybuilding...I find the discipline required in my music career and that in the gym are one in the same...I enjoy the work ethic it takes to continue twice a day workouts six days a week...bring it on...
How I Stay Motivated:
I cannont overemphasize the pros to having a steady and reliable workout partner...because my trainer also enjoys competing we have common goals...you have an obligation to each other to put forth your best effort...and when one lags you're there to pick the other up and keep going...though I must say simultaneous carb depleting can be drama at its best LOL!!!

Remember to let me know the dates and locations of your comps next year, may not make the masters if it's in july, but if north americans are in aug...i'll be there! I told Marc about it, and he's interested too of being there to cheer you on! We'll be the loudest fans ever! GO TEAM MCCOY! GO LESA! lol. Hugs!
Oh! Sorry I misunderstood. I read "Nationals," and only assumed the one this weekend! How exciting though: I'll be as Masters Natls, TOO!! And the Lenda? Humm....who knows! You just might be able to con me into it!! :)
Just a few more days! This is your time! Make it happen and enjoy the journey. And thank you for the lovely thoughts; if only I could live up to everything you said. :) Shine for me this weekend!! :D
Thank you for such a thoughtful response to my blog. It comes as no surprise that you have developed a fostered balance to the many parts of your life. I firmly believe that success in any one part of your life requires such a balance, and you most certainly have had superb bodybuilding success.
Love your profile title and chosen professions. Wow, you have an impressive contest resume! You are certainly representative of woman of all ages and you are making the fifth decade looking like the best time of our lives! Thanks for the motivation that I have a lot to look forward too.
