College:
High School:
When I Started:
Jun, 1999
How I Started:
I got my first gym membership right out of high school when I moved away for college, and I have been working out and learning ever since.
Why I Love It:
It makes me look and feel great. It gives me energy, self confidence, and a sense of pride. It's often the highlight of my boring day, and kicks me in the butt on days when I need it.
How I Stay Motivated:
I look in the mirror. I see what has improved and it makes me want more. I also see what needs to improve, and it makes me try harder. However, I have my days where I am not motivated. I read on Pauline Nordin's blog once that you cannot always depend on motivation. It's not going to be there every day. Sometimes you just have to do the work!
And that in itself keeps me going, too.

Goal (Long):
I have been a fitness and health enthusiast as long as I can remember. Growing up, I played sports and had a very active lifestyle. I despise laziness and it shows in my personality. When I moved away for college in 1999, I joined a gym for the first time. Since then, I have been to countless competitions and was always intrigued by it. The hard work, dedication, discipline, muscle, blood, sweat, and tears drew me in. I wanted to see if I had what it takes to make it to the stage. In 2009 it's time for me to get out of the audience and up on stage - to see the world from a different point of view.
My goal is to compete AND WIN in April of 2009, and again 3 weeks later in May for Figure Short Class. I know that some might say it's unrealistic for a first time competitor to walk off the stage with a trophy, but that's my competitive nature and I'm sure as hell going to try.
Fitness has always been a part of my lifestyle. It's always been in the background...lurking. It was time to take it to the next level...A few years ago I almost lost sight of my goal to compete, and was on the cusp of being 'chubby'. NEVER AGAIN! That was not a good place for me, phsyically nor mentally. I was unhappy! Once I got back on track, I haven't lost that fire. I've spent years building natural muscle, playing with my diet, and learning...and I continue to do so every day.
I am also studying to get my CPT (Certification in Personal Training) and together with my soon-to-be hubby, Tim, (who is currently taking clients for competition diet and training), we are going to help others reach their fitness goals, whether they be nutrition based, general health and well-being, strength training, to compete, or just for looks; your reasons are your own.

Yep. Mirror images on both biceps. I got them mostly to scare the small children off my lawn :D I'm good. Having a hard time making any good increases as I'm mid-football season :P What's new with you?
Good to hear :) Um-you probably need to re-upload them. Not sure why they're are small-but the filesize indicates that the ones you uploaded were small
