How Did You Get Started?
Being raised in a military household while growing up, showed me that being
fit is essential to having a healthy lifestyle. My love for weight training
came when I was in high school. I was actively involved in cheerleading,
track & field and I was a member of the dance team. During my senior year, I
had the opportunity to have a half day or take an additional class. I
noticed there was an opening for weight training and I decided to give it a
try. At the time, there were only three females in a class full of males.
The teacher was just as hard on us as he was the guys. I gained a true
appreciation for weight training and by the end of my senior year, I was
out-lifting and out-squatting a few of the guys in my class. Not only did
this class make me stronger, but it also allowed me to learn how to use the
machines and apply the proper techniques. I had the opportunity a few years
ago to compete in a Military MWR Bodybuilding competition and I placed first
within my category. I was so excited! I made a promise to myself that once I
made it back to the states I would enter into my first NPC Figure
competition. In November 2010, that promise became a reality when I competed
and placed first in both of my categories (Novice Figure Class C and Open
Figure Class E) for the NPC MET-Rx Rocky Mountain Championships! I also won
the overall award for the Novice category and qualified for Nationals!!!
What is an average days diet like for you?
When i’m competing I eat 5 to 6 meals a days. Depending on the body part
that I am working for that day, I alternate between proteins, carbs and
fats. When I am off-season, I try not to limit myself too much because I go
by the motto, "work hard, play hard!" I feel it’s great to treat myself for
all of the hard work that I have accomplished while training for my
competition.
