My Prime Body Proud Goals:

Improve my Health, Gain More Flexibility, Improve My Posture, Be an Inspiration to Others, Magazines, Sponsorship, Gain Exposure

Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals

I trained for 12 weeks for my first competition but i hope to stay within 3-4% of my competition body fat percentage afterwards and remain in good shape throughout the year while continuing to build muscle.

I Am Looking for Advice On:

I began a bootcamp back in mid January of 09 with trainer Jolene Carter after it was recommended to me by the gorgeous Jamie Eason. I fell in love with the training styles of Jolene and she opened my eyes to the possibility of competing. With the help of her and my nutritionist Keith Klein i was able to transform my body from 22% body fat to 6% and am eager to see where it will take me...

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

My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1)

My first competition was a great experience and chance for me to get comfortable in front of judges and a crowd typical to what i will be seeing at other fitness competitions. I placed third in Figure A Division at the Texas Shredder Classic. My second competition the FAME Lonestar Championship was a great experience and my chance to really show my personality with the themewear routine and the more relaxed atmosphere. I placed Top 3 in all 3 Divisions I Entered (Bikini Open, Figure, and Fitness Model), was Runner Up in the Cougar Energy Drink Model Search, and was awarded the Lonestar Champion "Most Outstanding Athlete" Award at the end of the night. I had a lot of fun and met a lot of great people at this event.

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

"Crave the trophy not the food" -Keith Klein =)

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:

In a nutshell: 6 small meals a day, lots of protein, water, and veggies =)
I take a multivitamin everyday and work out 6 days a week.

I am Grateful For:

Seeing what my body is capable of and realizing that clean eating and working out has made me feel so much better physically from the inside out.
