After I had my daughter in 1999 I weighed over 200lbs. I hated the way I looked and felt and knew I had to change! So I enrolled in my local gym and started doing cardio and circuit training. In 8 months I had lost 80 lbs! I loved fitness so much that I got certified as a personal trainer and nutritionist and the rest is history!
After a few years someone at my gym suggested that I compete so I did a show and was hooked! Now my goal is to go pro in the next 5 years and own my own gym.

What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
Lots of cardio! I do at least an hour of cardio everyday. I used to train like a bodybuilder, one body part a day, but ended up putting on too much muscle. So now I used a split like this.
TERMS YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW
Superset - Two exercises are performed consecutively without any rest. Drop Sets - Also known as strip sets, drop sets involve the immediate reduction of weight between sets with no rest. This will thoroughly burn out a muscle.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
VPX Clenbutrx and VPX Redline have leaned me out like crazy. I use a protein made by a lady here in my home town that owns her own store called TKO Sports Nutrition its called Profusion Protein and it is awesome. I also love Reset AD to keep my thermos working strong!
Why Do You Love Fitness?
I love it because it teaches you so much about yourself through the struggle of diet and training. I also love that you can never be perfect so you have to keep striving to improve and get better so you never get bored! It's a competition with yourself, the best kind to have!
What Motivates You To Follow A Healthy Lifestyle?
My dream is to go pro and become a famous fitness model. I also want to make my grandmother proud. She passed in 2003 and was my biggest supporter.
