When I Started:
Jan, 2009
How I Started:
I've always been athletic, taking part in many sports throughout high school. In my freshman and sophmore years at college, I gained the freshman 15 plus the sophmore 10 and my self-esteem plummeted. I was always a cardio queen and thought weights would make me look manly. Finally, in January of 2009, my brother convinced me to adopt a REAL workout... a plan that I would stick to for 4-6wks, consisting of cardio and weights. I immediately fell in love! June 2009, I decided to get my eating habits on board with my workouts, so I hired a nutritionist. We set a goal to compete in November 2009, and for the first time in my life, I stuck with it all and persevered. I love this lifestyle and wouldn't change it for the world! :)
Why I Love It:
I love testing my limits, challenging myself, and reaching my goals, only to set new, more advanced goals. This lifestyle is addictive and the results are fascinating and motivating! I love the social component of this bb world as well... I have met the most amazing people who continue to inspire and amaze me daily. There is truly no other lifestyle I'd rather live.
How I Stay Motivated:
I surround myself with positive role models and keep inspiring books, magazine and photos close by at all times to remind myself where I am headed and what I am ultimately striving for. I also enjoy helping others achieve their fitness and nutrition goals. Knowing that they look to me for motivation and advice keeps me on track. I also couldn't do this all without my friends and family who continually support me through my training and somehow put up with the mood swings, low-carb IQ brain, and social sacrifices I have to make to reach my fitness goals.
BB Accomplishments:
Lost 25lbs and 11% BF over 6months. Competed in my first figure show, Nov 2009, placing 6th in med-tall class.

This is so embarrassing. I said I would NEVER post this, but I have to being that I've come such a long way. I am about 160lbs and 26%BF in this pic. Can you say PORKER!? omg... my face looks swollen, my legs are like tree trunks and my arms have absolutely NO SHAPE. I actually felt good this night ...
Keep pushing myself to the limit in training, while continuing to follow a clean eating lifestyle to maintain my fat loss, bring out my upper body and tone down the lower body during my offseason. DO WORK CREW.
Goal (Long):
I will be using Dec and Jan 2009 to build up my delts, improve my v-taper, and lean out my legs. I plan to go heavy and hard with my upper body and switch to bodyweight only lower body exercises. The judges want to see a more balanced look between my upper and lower body. Personally, I would like to lean out my midsection a little more. I am hoping this will follow along with my lower body lean-out. I plan to compete again in April 2010. I will follow another 12-week contest prep period to bring my bodyfat down to 10%. Keeping my lean mass at 115, I hope to walk on stage at 126lbs. If all goes well, I hope to place top 3 and move on to Level 2 for November 2010. Here we go! :)
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 10 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
Stratford, Ontario 22nd Annual Festival City Championships- Level 1 (April 2010)

I now all about the after comp lifestyle very well. After 55 competitions I have really learned how to cope with most of sanity intact now. In fact I wrote a blog about it right after one of my friends was struggling with some serious post comp blues. If you need anything or advice just let me know!
Actually I am deployed to the Desert, so not much of a Thanksgiving here either. In Germany there isn't much going on for Thanksgiving, but the Christmas season more than makes up for it!
