HOW DID YOU GET INTERESTED IN WEIGHT TRAINING/FITNESS? I JOINED A "GET IN SHAPE BY CHRISTMAS" PROGRAM WITH A COUPLE OF GIRLFRIENDS AT A LOCAL GYM IN 1997. WE MET WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER 3 TIMES A WEEK FOR A WORKOUT AND NUTRITION TIPS. THIS WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A GYM AND WEIGHT TRAINING AND I WAS INSTANTLY HOOKED.
HOW WAS YOUR FIRST SHOW? ANY INTERESTING EXPERIENCES? I WOKE UP MORE STRESSED ABOUT THE STATE OF MY HAIR EXTENSIONS THAN THE SHOW!!! THAT IN COMBINATION WITH THE JAN TANA BLOTCHES ALL OVER MY FACE FROM SLEEPING ON MY ARM WAS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT! ONCE MINDI AND THE GLAM SQUAD PUT ME BACK TOGETHER AND I STEPPED ON STAGE IT WAS FANTASTIC. THERE IS NO BETTER FEELING THEN KNOWING YOU HAVE CHECKED ONE MORE THING OFF YOUR "BUCKET LIST"
WHAT DO YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE ABOUT COMPETING? I LIKE WATCHING MY BODY CHANGE AS I GET CLOSER TO SHOW TIME. I DISLIKE THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF TIME I SPEND ON THE STEPMILL TO GET IT TO CHANGE!
FUTURE GOALS IN THE INDUSTRY? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW FAR I CAN GO IN THE FIGURE CIRCUIT. IN 2010 I WILL BE COMPETING IN BOTH THE NATURAL CANADIANS AND THE PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS....SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!
WHAT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING IN 10 YEARS? I HOPE TO HAVE A THRIVING PERSONAL TRAINING BUSINESS.
ANY ADDITIONAL NOTES? PEOPLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO THANK? I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY CHILDREN, TARYN & TYLER FOR BEING SUCH RESPONSIBLE YOUNG ADULTS AND UNDERSTANDING THE TIME AND COMMITMENT IT TAKES TO GET TO THE STAGE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK MINDI & DENNIS FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE, EXPERTISE AND CONSTANT SUPPORT.
