As
far as my athletic background goes, I have played various sports since
grade 2 including basketball, volleyball, track & field, soccer, rugby,
baseball and wrestling.
Through out my schooling, I have had dreams of being
a professional athlete of some sort...flirted with the thought of being
a track star, then basketball then a WWE Diva and finally a Lenda Murray.
I have always had an obsession with muscle. I had a passion
for bodybuilding, which I had always thought was unattainable without
drugs. (Now realizing its all about the genetics,
training and diet) I had kept active and been weight training
since 1990 off and on, trying to build my physique. Deep down inside
I was not going to give up!
I started to read a bit and try many different diets and
started to experiment on ways to try and lean out! Well that was impossible!
My body was and still is a hard one to figure out! (I
am very middle heavy and abs are playing hide and seek an awful lot!)
There have been many changes in my life since I started
bodybuilding, but probably the most important thing to me was the boost
of self-confidence that I have received, as well as just being more
positive overall with myself and life in general. As I am also striving
to keep improving myself I am also trying to help others around me recognize
the many benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. I am currently starting
to do some personal training on my spare time & try to help others achieve
their goals.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of bodybuilding is people's
reactions to a muscular female! I guess it could be quite shocking at
the first glance, especially if the woman's face is still feminine,
which is quite rare nowadays in female bodybuilding. (Which
is my goal to stay feminine yet muscular.)
Nevertheless, since the beginning of my transformation
people have shown me nothing but encouragement and positivity, as I
continue to grow and fine tune. Especially, those on Herbiceps.com,
where I began modeling as a bodybuilder and became exposed to the bodybuilding
world. Thanks Rick
Oliver for your great photography & guidance :o)
My future goals are to keep training hard and sculpt and
refine my physique. Try and keep the competitive juices flowing, I have
successfully made it into level 3 bodybuilding as my next competition
will be the Ontario's in June 2006. I also have interest in exploring
different avenues in the fitness industry, whether it is some type modeling
or promotional venues. I will continue try to expose myself as much
as I can to do what I can to fulfill all of my dreams and work towards
my pro-card. Trying to bring a more feminine side back to female bodybuilding,
as I do it naturally!!
