I was introduced to weight training at the end of 2008 by my husband / trainer / training partner, Kevin.  It instantly became a passion.  I never dreamt that I would actually step on stage but when people started asking if I compete, I thought I would give it a try. 

Well, now that I have fallen in love with competing and striving to keep improving, there is no looking back, just passion, hard work, and discipline and at the end of the day, it’s all worth it.  Of course, having a supporting family also helps a great deal.  I have 2 weaknesses; peanut butter and sushi.   Pre-contest, I must admit, it is very difficult to abstain from the temptation of peanut butter but in the end, I do.  Where training is concerned, I believe, push heavy or go home, there are no short-cuts.  My prep-coach for 2010 is Mary Pulito, her knowledge knows no boundaries.

I am proud to say that I am sponsored by Infinite Labs, there products are phenomenal!  I use Juggernaut pre-workout; it gives me explosive muscle pumps and energy.  I also use the crealkal and BCAA pre-workout. They are both powder form which makes it very convenient for me. 

The BCAA I mix into my pre-workout shake.  Post workout I use the Glutamine MTX, this is also in powder form and gets mixed into my post workout shake.  There protein shakes are great tasting, ice-cream flavoured, they contain 26g of protein per serving and only 5 grams of carbohydrates.  At night I use Cyclo Rem which is a sleep formula containing Gaba.  I could see and feel the results from the moment I started using them, I have tried many supplement ranges but none have given me the results that I have received from Infinite Labs.  Contest time I use Final Cutz and Oxidane, these two products together give me the Cutz I need.
