When I Started:
Jul, 1987
How I Started:
I think I have loved sport since the day I was born... I learned how to swim before I could even talk - my parents were into their water sports like diving and waterskiing, so they felt it was an important skill for me to learn... especially when you live in a small country surrounded by water!!
When I was at school I tried out for every sports team that I could - gymnastics, aerobics, triathlon, cross-country, netball... you name it!
From age 8 to 14 I did competitive swimming. We trained anywhere from 7 to 11 times a week. I ended up with tendonitis of the rotator cuff from over-training and had rehabilitation on it for 2 years but it never came fully right - so I looked to take up another sport.
I then got into competitive rowing at high school and surf boat rowing after I left school. Surf boat rowing is an amazing sport and I hope to compete in it again.
I discovered the sport of bodybuilding while I was on a University exchange to UCLA. I thought "this sport sounds perfect for me!!" I can't wait to compete someday!
Why I Love It:
It puts me in a good mental space & it makes me feel great inside and out :)
How I Stay Motivated:
I know if I don't work out and eat well I will feel terrible and not being making the most of life!
I want to prove to myself and others that I have the strength, determination, commitment and discipline to construct a healthy, athletic, lean and beautiful body worthy of competing.
Also by looking up to successful fitness models - if they can do it, so can I :)
Recording my food and exercise daily and taking measurements & progress photos weekly is a great motivator to eat well 24/7 and make improvements.
Another method that I have recently come up with is to take away something that I enjoy until I reach my goal - I have chosen not to purchase any new clothes, shoes or accessories up until I reach my goal!! This way I'll want to reach it faster :)

Lol tell me about it.. Good to take advice, but if you like what you're doing and seeing the results... That's all that matters eh. Lol nahhh.. I'm so lazy with that eh, but my final exam is tomorrow so I'll have a lot of free time... :) Maybe one day!!
Had a look matey. Lol at some people at the start worrying about your diet.. I'm sure out of anyone, you'd know what you're doing.. Keep going Simone, I'll definitly pop in to see the progress.
I wish I could make my own, but here in the Desert...there just is any to be found! Since I have some ungodly work hour my training has become very condensed. For the heavy lifting three 30 min all out super- heavy workouts a week. Then I run a 5K twice week, and sprint interval training twice a week. Actually my lifts have gotten really strong and I have been able to put on some lean muscle size too. I have no doubt, now, less is more when it comes lifting big weight.
