I have been a Cardio freak since I was 18, and have always been fit. Running was my sport of choice until I discovered the bodybuilding competition scene, and I drank the coolaid! I love being in that atmosphere of competitiveness with folks that have worked hard to reach goals and look amazing! I have a huge appreciation for those that are so dedicated! I started lifting weights after I had my daughter, who is now 2.5 years old. I have been eating lean/training hardcore since January 6th when I started with Julie Lohre. I will do my first competition April 11th in the new NPC Bikini Division (a little softer than figure look)...Then hit it really hard for the Kentucky Muslce and Fitness Competition in Nov. 09 - That will be some serious training (no wine..lol) 3 months out!
Why I Love It:
It is MY TIME to focus on ME and nothing else and let ALL stress out...that helps me lift heavy!!!
When I am done, I am calm and can head back to work, relaxed, focused and in charge!
Confidence it gives me; mind and body!
How I Stay Motivated:
It is a lifestyle and a Habit; you make it a scheduled priority in your work/family life! I am very busy with work during the week, so I prepare most meals on Sunday for the upcoming week!
BB Accomplishments:
Ran the Ky Derby half Marathon
Pap Johns 10 miler
San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon June 1, 2008
To place in the top 3 at Northern KY Show March 27, 2010!!!
Goal (Long):
Continue to eat 6 small meals a day, very clean and weight train 4 days a week, HIIT twice a week, and 2 x 60 min workouts a week! Thats the plan until Dec.!!!! Then I will switch it up and get crazy intense again!!!
What do you think about people who "grunt" loudly while working out? Do you do it?
Your lifting too heavy...it is disturbing MY FOCUS!

What type of outfit do you usually wear when you workout? Why?
tank and fitted leggings, because I sprint run after my weights and do not want baggy clothes on...tank to see my muscles and progress, helps with motivation!
you got a great collection of pics. just one thing though - none flexing the bis. if i may suggest adding a shot or two flexing the bis to round out an otherwise sensational gallery - jeff
