A little about me:

In early 2009, my husband and I decided to start trying for children. I started a very healthy diet in preparation for the upcoming chapter of our life. In February 2009, I fell pregnant.

I am a huge advocate of eating healthy throughout your pregnancy, however, it wasn't the food that I was eating that became the problem, it was HOW MUCH I ate that resulted in an overall weight gain of 22kg. I weighed 63kg pre pregnancy and after my daughter was born on November 14, 2009 I weighed 85kg post pregnancy.

I was extremely motivated to lose that excess baby weight! Through careful research, hard work and dedication, I lost 28kg.

I not only look and feel great, but I have inspired so many of my friends and family to look after their health and fitness which is the most heart warming feeling and result that I could have ever possibly achieved through my own goal setting.

As I progressed, I saw the potential I had to build muscle quickly with my body type and decided to challenge myself with the goal of entering a bodybuilding competition in the Figure division.  I commenced training for the INBA QLD State Titles 20 weeks out from the competition date. 

I did all of the research into my training, nutrition and supplement intake personally and have acquired a thorough knowledge of what my body requires in order to perform at its optimum level.  I have always put the needs of others in front of my own which has always resulted in never once reaching a goal that I had set out to achieve.  I was determined to not let this be yet another journey not finished.

8 weeks out from my competition, I was offered a personal training sponsorship by The Max Level, (Max Jenke) personal training.

Since having Max come on board, I have been able to progress at a level that many in the industry have been highly impressed by.

I competed in the INBA Qld State Titles on 25 September 2011 and INBA Natural Universe on 23 October 2011 in Figure International Tall and Figure Novice Tall.

 I am continually setting new goals for myself and if I can help people to set goals and achieve them for themselves also, then my journey has not only been a spiritual one for myself but can touch the lives of others.

ACHIEVEMENTS

 INBA QLD State Titles 2011 – 2nd place Ms Figure Novice Tall

INBA QLD State Titles 2011 – 3rd place Figure International Tall

INBA Natural Universe 2011 – 4th place Ms Figure Novice Tall

GOALS

I am more determined than ever to return to the stage next year to obtain that 1st place.  My long term goal is to compete at a professional level and obtain my Pro Card.  My next short term goal for 2012 is to qualify and compete in the Natural Olympia in Reno, NV. 

Bodybuilding has become a very important aspect of my life and I have a very strong desire and drive to turn it into a long career.
