Growing up I was always involved in sports. I looked at a picture of myself after I had gained some weight, and decided that I needed to change my lifestyle. I was a 5811 in the United States Marine Corps! OOOoooorah! My goal was to be healthy and active and eventually compete in a figure competition.
Why I Love It:
I love being in the gym. I love the challenge of improving my physique for each contest that I am in. That is what matters, coming in at my personal best each time, because that is what I can control!
How I Stay Motivated:
I remember that there are people out there that have much larger obstacles. I am so blessed to be whole and healthy. Making sure that I give everything I have in the gym, that when I leave, I have nothing left to give.

What's up Tara, just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you, especially since I feel like you contributed to my success. Thanks for being the motivator and great person that you are and I wish you the best of luck in your next show.
It's going fantastic! I have been staying motivated for almost 1,5 ms. Also I quit smoking (I only smoked for half a year). Planning on detox next week. How is your success? Anything new?
Hey Tara!! Thanks for checking out my progress. I wish that I lived closer too!! Maybe next time I come down to the cities we can plan to meet for a workout! :)
Hey Tara. I want to do a figure comp. within the next 2 years and I was just looking for some help. Did you pick one here in the TC first? What did you do right off the bat to get ready for it? How long does it take to prep for a contest? Thanks a ton! You look fabulous! :)
