I was a former dancer/cheerleader and had kept in great shape over the years. I was working out 3 days a week doing ballet, belly dancing and pilates when I met a promoter who introduced me to figure. I decided to go for it and to represent for the middle-aged women. I'm so glad I did. I'm hooked now.
Why I Love It:
I have learned to enjoy the challenge of lifting weights but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my boxing class! It's a total rush!
How I Stay Motivated:
Reading all of the profiles and looking at the amazing bodies on this site and others is serious motivation. I figure if all these folks can do it, so can I! I'm so impressed by all the fabulous ladies on here (men too!) Finally, I love being able to walk around in a bikini with a slammin' bod at my age.
BB Accomplishments:
Coming soon ...

Taken the day I decided to give figure competing a shot. I thought I was in great shape until I saw the figure competitors and how lean they were. I need to build seriously lose body fat. I have the foundation as I'm already muscular and fit.
I've bulked up significantly and now have to figure out how to lean out without compromising muscle.
Goal (Long):
I have relied on great genetics for most of my life. I took ballet, pilates and did cardio 3 times a week and thought I was really working out (I never broke a sweat! LOL) until I started training for the figure competition and learning about my lifting, my muscles and reading all the bodybuilding magazines. It's a total rush! And now, as I experience the results of my weight training, I'm totally loving the way my body looks. I am so proud of what I've accomplished in a few short months. This has also given me something to do outside of my rather self-absorbing career in Hollywood. I'm loving it! I hope to compete in the Masters National.
Thank you. Looks like it's true... I just emailed a few head judges from NPC, it seems like they've confirmed up north but not down here in Florida yet.
Thanks again,

Haven't heard anything about dropping 1pc's, I just emailed a judge that we know, they haven't heard anything yet, there's a big NPC meeting in a couple weeks, we'll find out then.

That is fabulous, Tanya. Easy on the MSG...:) Must be fun to be involved on a historic blockbuster. I sent in my contribution & hope to witness your hard work come true.
Uhhh...at the risk of looking like a rabid fan, wishing u a wonderful Wednesday and continued focus. And don't worry abt being grumpy because of the diet...they'll forgive u...lol!
Thanks, Tanya! Comments and kind words from you definitely help with the motivation. Gotta hit some serious cardio/legs 2nite. Stay strong for the Excalibur...u're gonna look great.
10 Saturdays left until my return. Each passing day is brighter than the last. Hope to make it in time for the inauguration. Excaliber...great contest! U'll surely do well & have fun.
Just wishing my impressively stunning and intellectual friend a wonderful Sunday. No doubt u're still eating clean and looking well. Any election coverage mixed in with your busy itinerary?
I'm with ya, though I support Aliotti and Alissa Parker (alight3) from the hometown 619 club. That type or "coronation" is not good for competition. Heath, huh? What swayed your judgment?
Hey, Tanya. Thanks for visiting...yeah it was a great victory for DJ. Definitely earned the nickname "Blade". I thought Dennis Wolf deserved higher, but he's biding time. Did u think Gates was over Aliotti? How's training break?
Hey, Tanya. Have a wonderful Tuesday. Hope your weekend was relaxing. When u get time let me know your thoughts abt my latest blog...Installment 6: "Concussion Wave.....(finem)".
congrats on your most recent show. i will have to pick your brain at some point about other things (i'm a newbie working on a few screenplay ideas and would LUV some feedback).
