How I Started:
I started bodybuilding because I wanted to be a hero not only to my girls, but to myself.

I am always the girl on the outside looking in. Bodybuilding helps me to believe in myself, be strong, beautiful, and an inspiration to others.
How I Stay Motivated:
To stay motivated, I push myself harder each and every workout. I listen to the encouraging words from my girls. I see the results in the mirror. But mostly, I believe in myself. That is something I never experienced before bodybuilding.

Belinda inspires me with her "eye on the prize" attitude. She works hard and loves what she does. She is one of the rare strong women that is not only beautiful, but smart and focused. She is a motivation.
Because she knows what she wants and goes after it. Ali always strives to work her hardest and be the best she can be. She has given me helpful competition tips and motivates me to be the best I can be with her kind words.
What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
Being a pastry chef, I see a lot of desserts...so I am not interested in eating one. But when I do want something, I usually have lemon sorbet with two to three ginger snap cookies.

What type of nutrition plan are you currently following? Give full details.
I am currently following a clean-eating diet. I try to get a meal in at least every three to four hours for a total of five to six small meals a day. This also includes my protein shakes for my workouts. I eat lean meats, veggies, and the appropriate amount of carbs. I do have a cheat meal usually once a week and have to honestly say I do at times give in to one or two peanut M&M's when the craving hits. This is usually once or twice a month.I am currently following a clean-eating diet. I try to get a meal in at least every three to four hours for a total of five to six small meals a day.

What tips would you give to others to help them stay motivated over the long-term?
I think it is important to set shor-term goals. This way you can see the progress you are making and want to do more. Also, put pictures of the body you would like to mimic up where you can see it to remind yourself to stay on track. Also words of inspiration help, and most important, the support and help of friends who are also fitness-oriented. Keeping yourself surrounded by the positive makes a world of difference.I think it is important to set shor-term goals. This way you can see the progress you are making and want to do more.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My family and I did the usual, then happily retreated to our rooms to sleep. I didn't indulge like I thought I would. I was a very good girl. I had a piece of turkey breast, green beans, small bit of stuffing, a spoonful of very tart homemade...
