Overall Goal: MANY MANY MANY THANK YOUS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS VOTED AND SUPPORTED ME TO BE IN THE RUNNING FOR THE BODYBUILDING.COM BODYSPACE SPOKESMODEL SEARCH!!!!!! I'M ON CLOUD 9 RIGHT NOW!!! THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!!!
Fit Status:
training 5 days a week with one on one personal training to make sure every ounce of effort is pushed out!!
I always had a love for the gym but was uncomfortable being in one. Why? I used to wear an unfit size 10! I had a horrible diet while in school. I worked at KFC and the greasy, high in saturated fat food was readily available. I also ate only a couple times a day with lots of junk food in between.
I always consumed WAY more calories than I could burn off! Imagine eating TWO large bags of Doritos and some chocolate bars, while watching prime time t.v. in three hours! YUP! That used to be me!
When I moved out on my own, I started to get interested in eating healthy and exercising. Knowledge was power and I read every fitness magazine and book religiously! I basically stepped into a gym and never looked back! The weight slowly came off, and muscles started to show! I started off doing bikini competitions locally and nationally, but I was often being told by the judges I was too muscular and that I would have to stop putting on muscle. HA! Like that would ever happen!
My first try at competing in figure was at the Manitoba Novice, with no trainer and no diet program I decided to enter the figure division. I asked around for advice and tips but that was about it. SOMEHOW I placed 5th! Looking back I obviously should have had a trainer and all, but typical of me to want to learn on my own.....I studied how to pose by buying an old Olympia vid and studied the women doing their quarter turns!! lol
I kept training and noticed a FAME event was coming to Winnipeg. I trained hard ( this time with Darren Mehling of FREAK FITNESS) and .....I took home first and a PRO Card for Fitness Model!
Why I Love It:
I'm addicted to challenging myself and seeing the results.....it's a labor of love and I love the labor!!
How I Stay Motivated:
I love setting goals and completing them. Seeing changes in my body that I have accomplished is a satisfying reward!
I have an amazing bf who encourages me and keeps me in line! It helps that he's also a personal trainer who loves his work and competes also! Check him out! Chris_Lazecki on here!
