- My Plug:
- Professional Traveler = Flight Attendant!
- My BodyPROUD Story
- I was born & raised in Edmonton, oldest of 4, and moved to Calgary just over 2 years ago and think its great!
I have a zest for life and truly believe that being in this skin of ours is a gift and we need to live each day doing something that brings us joy. I mean, what else IS there? we all have the power within us to do, be, or achieve absolutely ANYthing that our hearts TRULY desire. if you want it bad enough, you can achieve it... you just have to BELIEVE it!!
- My Facts 'n Stats:
- Mandy
30 ripe years old!
Fairly new to Calgary (2 years) from Edmonton, and LOVING IT!
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- oh this is a biggie!!!
learn, absorb and grow! then my Body Proud Goal is to compete in the FAME Prairie's coming up April 25, 2009!!! Then hopefully inspire others along the way, as i have been inspired!
and of course.... MAYBE... one day.... i would love to grace a cover of a fitness magazine!! heck i'd even settle for a clip inside! *winks*
- Life Advice that Helped Me:
- Never give up, never talk down to yourself, and never let others talk down to you. Take the proper time for yourself, to nurture and feed your body, mind & spirit. Always speak to and of yourself with love.
Write down your goals and read them once before bed (to have your subconscious go to work for you while you sleep) and once in the morning (to start your day off on the right track with your goals in mind).
and VISUALIZE!!! the brain does not know the deference between reality and make-believe. but it doesn't want to make a liar out of you. so dream & dream big. visualize your goals over & over & over again, and eventually your brain will come up with a way (a long with ACTION) to make your dreams a reality!
- How I Boosted my Confidence and/or Added Joy and/or Health into my Life:
- IF IT IS TO BE... IT'S UP TO ME!!!
.~* The only risk of dreaming BIG is, accomplishing small dreams along the way... so DREAM BIG! *~.
.~*If you can believe it, you can achieve it!"*~.
.~*Our inner dialogue is our biggest inhibitor... so love yourself from the inside out!*~.
- Please Help ME with:
- i'm a super happy, fun loving gal. I try to look at the positive in all people and situations and can sometimes be disgustingly optimistic!!
i really enjoy doing all sorts of active things, such as working out and cooking. these two serve as a great stress reliever for me, and unfortunately (or maybe not) i NEED both! sometimes my diet is a little indulgent and if i didn't workout to balance.... well i may look a lot more like a house!
i am a first time competitor in the modeling categories, (doing FAME prairies in Calgary on April 25, 09) after training to compete in fitness 4+ years ago. My fitness training for that, was fairly recent after a broken back, and it just proved to be too much training at the time and resulted in me having to postpone my competing career due to injury. i was devastated but.... (after some retail therapy) made a goal that once i hit my 30's, which was this year, that i WOULD try again! so after a couple of car accidents, a change in cities and well... life... here i am!!!
now its time to prove it to myself that i actually CAN do this!!! *gulp!*
- My Dietary &/or Training Routine:
- i need a great support network! hugs!
- I learned about bodyPROUD.org from:
- searching on fame!
"A Figure Athlete is a woman who's actively building her body — primarily through building muscle and losing body fat — into its leanest, sexiest, most-curvaceous state that she can sustain, year round. - The Editor"
This is also a great site & forum area that is a sister site from the T-Nation (Testosterone Nation). Both are great for articles, info & support!
keep fit & have fun!

Ok so let me start of by saying for all of you who are unsure of your progress... GET A BODY COMPOSITION DONE! i went to see my trainer for a progress report and body comp after 8 weeks of my cutting phase (after the dreaded bulk phase where i certainly put ON some weight!). i was so very very pleased! i mean i take weekly progress pics, but i wasn't seeing the changes that were actually taking place!
I lost a total of 11 lbs, 7% body fat, 3.5" off… Continue

Mandy
You're the beauty of the stars
And the beauty of a rose
From your cute squinty smile
To your little button nose
No figure on earth
Would dare challenge you
Your beauty is untarnished
From my point of view
Long from now when you go to heaven
All the angels will sing your name
Wishing every second of the day
That they could look the same
No artist could capture
Your beauty or your grace
Your gorgeous flowing locks
And your stunningly beautiful face
So when you see a rose
Or gaze upon the stars
You'll know I see your beauty
The most beautiful by far
