What is your REAL story? Do you compete? Do you wish to compete? Are you on a transformation journey? Website??

I have competed in 3 shows, 2 years ago. My first show I did figure, then made the jump to womens body building (much better fit for my structure). I was a competitive gymnast my whole life and always hated my body until I found fitness and found an arena to excel in. I started this fitness journey when I got on the scale and saw 160 pounds and I am only 5'3, EEEEKKKK! I never looked back, became a personal trainer, aerobics instructor and after many years of that, I found competition. I am a competitor at heart and love the discipline that it requires to be successful. I share my passion for this sport with whomever will listen and love to be a positive role model for doing it naturally. I believe anyone can change their body and the only thing standing in your way, is YOU.

Philosophies and Beliefs:

Many people do not ever push themselves to be uncomfortable at any level. Whether it be physically, emotionally, spiritually, or financially. That is what this sport is all about, looking within yourself and finding determination and courage that you didn't even know existed. Our minds often tell us what we want to hear, how to make excuses and quit. If you can understand that the message is not real and you can do whatever you decide, your mind and body will follow!

Words of Advice to REAL competitors and those on REAL transformation journeys:

Understand that this is a journey, not a destination. The best part is the process and learning important lessons about yourself that will help you in every area of your life. We all bet on jobs, friends, spouses, children, etc. It is time to bet the farm on the most important person, YOU! Admire the body you were blessed with and what it can do, more than you ever thought possible. When you are standing on stage (about to pee in your suit from fear), you will feel a sense of accomplishment that you have never experienced. The best part is there is noone to thank for your success, but you and your hard work and dedication.

What are your favorite supplements and why?

Elite Protein- tasty and the most mixable (only spoon) that I have ever used. Low carb (important when competing), low sodium.
BCAA's- Many reasons, the primary one being recovery and aiding in the building blocks of musle.
Calcium- Aids in recovery when preparing for a show and women can never get enough of this
B-Complex with Magnesium- Aids in cellular repair, gives energy when stores are low from dieting.
Multi-vitamin- The diet you are on is for a show and may lack vitamins and minerals this is a good way to ensure you provide the "machine" with all that it needs.
