My Background // My 'Story"
I am a fitness instructor. I've always been pretty active... never thought I was FAT, until one day, I couldn't get myself dressed for work because none of my clothes would fit... OMG, I WAS FAT!
I contacted a friend and fellow fitness instructor who I knew had a nutrition background and she set me up with a healthy, balanced eating plan that would help me acheive a healthy body fat.
I lost 26 pounds in 6 months!!! I then new I had potential, so I hired a personal trainer, started getting some FOCUS back to my workouts and began training for FAME Prairies 2009.
I realized this goal! What an AWESOME experience! I can't wait for FAME ALBERTA in October! I'm totally HOOKED!

I Am Looking for Advice On:
I have been very active in fitness for most of my life. I even became a group fitness instructor in 1999 and have done that as my part time job ever since! But it was not until I took a trip to Maui in Febuary 2007 and I could no longer fit into most of the clothes I was wearing the summer past that I knew something had to change! (I was becoming more and more depressed with my body, as even getting dressed for work in the mornings became a real struggle.)

I contacted a collegue and friend of mine who I knew had a nutrition background and I embarassingly asked her for her help! "I need a diet that won't allow me to keep gaining weight!" Itold her! And she willingly accepted me on as her newest client. To her (and my own) amazement, I lost 10 pounds in the first month! I have continued to follow her advice with regards to my food choices and to date have lost 25 pounds total!

I started to see a real power within me when I started eating clean and seeing my once fluffy body transform into the fit girl I always knew I was... a power that I knew had no limit! I had dreamed about doing a fitness competition someday... and I felt like "Now is my time! JUST DO IT!" In August 2008, I got a personal trainer (Wendy Carvalho-Ashby) and I train with her 3 days a week... I am seeing my body shape up like I've never seen before! (It's amazing what proper training and a clean diet can do for the physique and mind!)

I am now committed to entering the FAME Prairies competition in April 2009!!! And, if I like it, do well, and can afford it, I want to also challenge myself further and enter the WBFF competition in July 2009!

6 weeks after my 2nd competition

I thought I'd blog about how my second competition went (October 24th, 2009). At the time, I was so busy preparing for the show that I didn't have much time to blog here but I think writing this will out will help me in the future if (and when) I decided to enter my 3rd competition!

So, what can I say... my 2nd competition this year really stressed me out! My body didn't respond like it did the first time (to the diet or the training) and I think that was mainly because I was cheating on my die… Continue

5.5 weeks out from competition #2... VERY different then the first time!

So, due to financial constraints (I know you ALL are feeling them too!) I will NOT be able to compete in all the competitions I wanted to this fall! I decided to bow out of the FAME competition (on October 17th in Calgary) and I will be entering the IDFA competition the following weekend (October 24th also in Calgary)... I would LOVE to do them both, as I know I'll be in a great place physically to do well at both, but if I cannot justify the additional costs at this time (new suit, the tan, the… Continue

Gearing up for my next competition!

It's almost time to get SERIOUS again! A couple of weeks before I begin my carb deplete diet and, well, my training is still at a pretty HIGH level, so I feel GOOD about that! Might need to bump up the cardio a touch, but it should be an easy transition for me.

I'm so excited to see if I've built some additional muscle during this OFF season... I don't think the scale reflects much! (Mostly water gains, I think! LOL) It will be good to get STRICT with my diet again, I felt like during my last c… Continue

I'm doing fine with my program, starting my carb deplete now. In about 2 weeks, i will also increase my cardio to add an evening session. I'm about 124 lbs 16% BF, i want to aim for 10-12% - competing in the Bikini Model & Fitness Model categories. I think i'm on track :)

Oh I'm so glad! I was thinking to myself, "I hope she doesn't think I'm a nutjob," but I recognized you right away! You look amazing - the body transformation is incredible! I just had a baby in April so of course trying to get back on track is near impossible... hopefully I can get some inspiration around here!
