When I Started:
Jan, 2007
How I Started:
I was overweight and hated how I looked. What I wanted to look and feel like clearly was not reflected in the mirror. After quitting my job and going back to school, I decided that my health and appearance needed some work too, so my husband and I got a membership to a gym and we bagan to work out. I watched a fitness competition on television while doing my cardio and thought that might be fun and challenging, but I was also really intimidated because I had no gymnastics background and was not a great dancer. I found a trainer here in Denver that helped me with my nutrition and helped me put together a routine. I really enjoyed learning the strength moves and challenging my self! Now I regularly go to gymnastics taught by my very best friend, Susan Benz (she is Ms Fitness USA 2009) and I have so much fun learning how to do things I never ever thought I would ever do, like walk on my hands...
Why I Love It:
I like the challenge it presents to me everytime I go to the gym. I love how I feel and look after my workouts and enjoy seeing progress from week to week!
How I Stay Motivated:
I have photos of various figure/fitness competitors cut out and pasted to the walls of my work out room. I also have written down my goals and read them often. Also, probably the biggest help is talking to my friend Susan, who also competes. It is always nice to talk to someone who has felt what you are feeling...
BB Accomplishments:
I am the Mile High Natural 2009 Fitness Champ and Ms Fitness Mile High 2008 1st runner up (this was my very first fitness show), and I competed at Ms Fitness USA 2009 in Vegas! I am in Oxygen Magazine's "Future of Fitness" column in August 2009, Ms May in the Fit For Life Motivational Fitness Calendar.
Awww, well just think of it as stepping up and helping him out! I don't think I've ever been to an NPC show here where at least one person's music didn't have issues. Too many people burn on CDR-W discs.
okay..its hard when you are here & you cant cook your own food. The pills are 99mg so I guess ill eliminate them all together. I am taken Mitotropin by Gaspari...thats it.
Haha I think I am becoming mad...the last 30 minutes of a two hour cardio workout I am starting to make strange noises, its a happy sound but strange
:-) how is your motivation going? Any better?
