Profession: Athlete
I’ve always enjoyed working out. I’ve been at it since I was 18 years old. I’ve been very serious about weight training for the last 4 years. In August of 2002 I entered a Body For Life Challenge. It is a 12-week program focusing on nutrition and exercise to achieve your best body. My main goal was to see if I had a six-pack under the layer of fat. I’ve never been a big person but I would be what you considered skinny- fat. I wanted to look like a fitness model. So I started my 12-week journey and haven’t looked back and yes after 12 weeks I achieved that six-pack. I decided to take it to another level and enter a competition in April of 2003. During that time I was studying for my Personal Training Certification, I was working full time at Cabinet Manufacturing Company with a loto0f heavy lifting and I had a family at home as well. It was a struggle I really didn’t know how to diet down for a show and it was hard work not to eat junk food. We had it in the house because of the girls and my husband. But I felt that much stronger that I could stay on my contest diet without cheating. I struggled through those 10 weeks of diet and training to take 4th place in Figure at the Mid- Illinois Figure Championships. I’ve been hooked to competing since. I love the challenge of the diet, training and changing my body. I’m always trying to move forward. I would like to enter more National level shows, get some sponsorship, and make into one of the fitness magazines. I would love to try my hand at fitness modeling. I feel and look better than I did in my 20’s.
