How I got started:  I have been active in sports all of my life.  I've ridden horses since I was young and started playing sports in grade school.  I began lifting weights in high school to be competitive in sports.  Staying physically fit and establishing and mainaining healthy eating habits have always been a part of my life.  I met my husband in January of 2008 and we began training together.  He suggested that I try competing in figure or bodybuilding competitions and we began researching the different venues available for drug-free competitions.  I entered and won my first figure competition in June of 2008 and earned professional status in September of 2008.  I am currently setting the goal of competing as a Professional in the early part of 2009.  I am also preparing for my first bodybuilding competiton on October the 25th in O'Fallon, Missouri.  I will keep you posted with the results of the competition and photographs.
