Welcome Everyone.

Thank you for visiting my site! It’s dedicated to all

my clients, past and present, who I’ve trained and

coached for Figure competitions and general

weight-loss and health. This is my passion and I’m

so happy to be able to share everyone’s results and

stories with you. This is also a place to post my

training and competition results. Even though I’m

approaching 39 years old with 2 children, I’m in the

best shape ever and don’t plan on retiring any time

soon! Please look around and check back

frequently, I will update pictures and competition

results BELOW as they occur.

 

 

JR. NATIONALS

I finally cracked the top 5! The show in Charleston was great, it was my first time there. I went down with 4 other girls I train and hang out with, which made it even more memorable.

I was really nervous about looking too hard and lean. The judges have told me I look too much like a bodybuilder in the past, so I decided to get as small as possible for this show. I spent the last 6 weeks doing 45 min of cardio twice a day, and then at 4 weeks out, completely taking all carbs out of my diet. I was the lightest I’ve been at a national show, and very ripped. The night before prejuding, I ate pizza, a burger, a milk shake and some Kit Kats. It may have softened me up some, but I was still very vascular. The morning of the show, I tried not squeezing or over-posing at all on stage. The NPC wants figure to become less hard, more feminine, and doesn’t want us girls squeezing and flexing anymore. So I had fun just standing there! I also darkened my hair this show, and had 2 new suits I stoned myself.

All the planets were lined up, and I placed fourth! I was completely THRILLED and can’t wait to come back next year and do Masters Nationals in Pittsburg in July, and then maybe the USAs in Vegas the next weekend. For now, it’s off to Okinawa for 3 years to keep training, and tweaking my physique. I hope to widen my back just a bit more, increase the sweep on my quads, and keep plyo-ing away my booty!!

 

 

 

BETTY AND JEN AT JR USA’S
2 of my very dedicated clients and friends also competed at Jr USAs. Betty placed 13th out of a very competitive class of 34 girls at her second national show. She looked tight and her symmetry rocked AS USUAL! Jen came into her first national show at her BEST CONDITION ever. She tied for 16th but has to be proud of her accomplishments (see her 2 year transformation below). National shows are tricky and overwhelming. All the girls are flawless, so you have to bring a presentation that can’t be overlooked. I’m excited to see both Betty and Jen compete in their next National show.

LINDA TAKES FIRST!
Linda took FIRST PLACE in Masters and her Open class at Richmonds OCB show. This was her 4th show and her BEST conditioning yet. Linda juggles 3 sons, a full time job, and a hubby – Wow! Watch for her in more shows this year!
