Do you get the opportunity to dress up much? And what’s your favorite type of clothing and why?
I don't really get the opportunity to dress up much. I'm definitely a jeans, shorts, and flip flops type of girl!
Share with us a bit about your contest history and most memorable show experience.
I'd say it was my first bodybuilding show in 1999. I was doing my own "diet" and was utterly clueless. A friend helped me out with 6 weeks to go and I followed his strict diet and cardio program and dropped 20 lbs. I was amazed at how I leaned out. I was hooked.
What motivates and or inspires you to workout, diet and compete in fitness? Which part do you have the most difficulty with?
I began working out in 1987 when my college softball coach had us start training 3x a week. My
roommate and I (the smallest ones on the team) were diehards and when I returned home, I joined a local gym. I've been working out ever since.
What inspires you to diet and compete?
Having a goal. Striving to improve my physique. Doing something for me. Keeping my mind preoccupied. All of the above! What do I have difficulty with? Getting enough rest! My kids and I have a busy schedule!!
What goals do you have in the sport and do they relate to the rest of your life?
I am looking to better myself and inspire my kids to lead healthy lifestyles.
What do you think is the most misunderstood aspect of your lifestyle?
People think I don't eat enough when in actuality, I eat plenty...and that includes carbs!!
Do you use a coach or nutritionist and how has they impacted your journey?
Debi Laszewski is my coach. I love her passion for the sport and her expertise is undeniable. I'm excited for this upcoming show because she has enabled me to maintain my muscle and lean out. This is, by far, the best I have looked (cont. pg. 20)!
