My Facts 'n Stats:

My Prime Body Proud Goals:

My products are not necessarily targeted to the Body Proud industry. I sell cleaner burning candles and other gourmet body products.

Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals

My 2009 goal is to be on stage competing by June 2009! I have lots of hard work ahead of me to make this happen but I have faith!

I Am Looking for Advice On:

Well, my journey began when I was unemployed and bored. I decided on Jan 8, 2008 that I wanted to be a body builder and so it all began. I was 166 lbs and lived at the gym - 6 days a week most days twice a day. I have attempted to change my eating habits and yes I have a trainer but I am not 100% convinced that he has my goals in mind but I sitll give him money every month. I hurt myself in August 2008 and have been 'off the wagon' for quite some time. I returned to work in September so that has slowed my progress as well. BUT I am re-focused and just joined this wonderful site - so let the learning begin. I had a body fat test on Monday (not good but not too bad) the results were definately not what I wanted to hear but its my own fault - so I am down to 154 and 34% body fat - so now I need to learn ways to cut the body fat. I have started to write down everything I eat and I train 3 days a week and do cardio 2 days (for now anyway)

Job Description // Shameless Plug for My Products or Services :-)

My Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:

Quitters never win and winners never quit!

It's not always about winning, its having fun and doing what you enjoy that matters most!

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:

I am looking to learn more ways to lose body fat and begin competing. I started my fitness journey in Jan 2008 and have come a long way but still have miles to go. I get frustrated easily and 'fall off the wagon' alot. I need help staying motivated and focused.

I am Grateful For:
