Profile Information
- My BodyPROUD Story
- My boyfriend Todd and I just had a baby girl on September 7th. Taylor Ann Smith has joined our fitness family. Todd and I are both trainers and we plan on opening our own gym within the next two years.
BIOGRAPHY
I grew up in Oakland, Oregon, a thriving metropolis of 900 people. I was a five sport athlete at Oakland High School- volleyball, basketball, track & field, soccer and softball.
After graduating I went on to obtain my degree in Business Administration/Marketing from Pacific University in Forest Grove Oregon while playing volleyball and track and field.
After college I worked in the sports industry followed by the financial industry and then into commercial real estate before I realized that I never wanted to work in an office ever again. Regardless of what my day job was I was always involved with fitness. While in the financial industry I obtained my Personal Training Certification and trained groups and individuals in my free time.
I also began taking acting courses at the Portland Actors Conservatory where I saw my passion for acting finally come out. It was always something that I wanted to do but held back for numerous reasons.
In January of 2006 I decided to pursue acting and fitness modeling full time and made the move to Los Angeles. I entered into a new level of training and commitment. I was able to obtain my SAG card within my first year which was a huge hurdle. I have filmed a few small commercials, fitness infomercials and done some body doubling as well as print work.
When I decided to enter my first fitness competition I knew that nutrition was going to be key to winning. Hiring a nutritionist was instrumental in landing a 1st place finish in the fitness modeling round and 2nd in the bikini round. More importantly I have learned how to eat right for the rest of my life.
I continuously educate myself about training and nutrition and I’m an avid reader of almost every fitness magazine in print!
This year not only have I decided to start competing but I’m also going to pursue continued education through a nationally accredited fitness organization. I love helping people achieve their physical goals as well as giving them the tools to live a long healthy life!
My long term goals are to use my success as a fitness model and actress to start training overweight children and work towards bringing proper nutritional education and fitness back into schools.
- My Facts 'n Stats:
- I was a five sport athlete growing up so I've always had a competitive nature and an athletic physique. Fitness modeling and competitions were the next step!
I am currently seeking commercial representation and hope to be seen nationwide in 2009!
- My bodyPROUD Goals:
- FAME Hollywood 2007 1st Place Fitness Modeling
FAME Hollywood 2007 2nd Place Bikini Modeling
2007 Muscle Mania Fitness Hollywood Competitor
- My AHA Life Defining Moments:
- Being on stage in a tiny bikini that cost you an arm and a leg while someone judges every inch of your body will stop anyone from putting that chocolate cake in their mouth! :o) But really, I am very competitive and I want to win competitions and eventually land an endorsement deal or a major sponsor. I want to make fitness my full time career.
- My bodyPROUD Intentions:
- I am continuing my personal training education to work with overweight children.
- To Become BodyPROUD, I commit to do the Following:
- I would like to get myself back in competition shape by March of 2009.
- Please Help ME with:
- After just having a baby my body has made some major changes. I have lost all of my pregnancy weight already which is great but muscle tone is a whole other issue. My baby girl is all the motivation I need. I want her to grow up knowing how important being healthy and eating right is.

- Personal Trainer &/or Fitness Professional, Parent

What a journey!

The last time I blogged I was about 10 pounds away from losing all of my baby weight and about ready to compete in my first competition on May 2nd in Brea California.
Well, I lost the 10 pounds and more, competed at Brea and then competed at the Muscle Beach Memorial Day Classic where I won the Tall class and then took the Overall Champion!
It has been a busy couple of months. I've had my hands full that's for sure. Being a new mom and a competitor takes a lot of getting… Continue

A little progress in a stressful time....

Well it's been a tough couple of weeks but I'm making some progress. The trouble is the timing of it all. Kids Klub opens at 8:00 am and closes at noon. I would love to go early but my boyfriend doesn't get off work until 4am and we are trying to train together. So in order for us to get a full workout in we have to be up and out the door by 9:30am which isn't happening. We end up doing split shifts so someone is home to watch Taylor and then that takes away from time to do anything else before… Continue
How's this for motivation...

I'm on the elliptical yesterday trying to work off my last 10 pounds of baby weight and the abdominal infomercial I did before I got pregnant came on TV, The Ab Rocket.
I watched the entire thing before I got off the elliptical. :o) Ha!

My First Workout!

Well yesterday I hit the gym for the first time in almost 6 months. I was really hoping that I would be able to work out throughout my entire pregnancy but unfortunately we ran into some complications early. I was assured that working out would be fine and my head knows that it would have helped my body function at its best but my heart said no. So I listened to my heart and kept my body healthy by eating right. I was working 7 + hours a day as a bartender so I was on my feet and getting plenty… Continue

Tina
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
