Figure America Overall Champion!

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

I just wanted to give you some feedback about the competition this past weekend.  I must say that it hasn’t quite hit me as I sift through emails, clean the house and do the laundry.  But every now and again I just sit here and play back in my mind how everything unfolded.  I am so glad that I did get video of the show, and that was so awesome to see.  I don’t know what to say other than, I set two goals for myself this year.  To turn pro and to win the Ms. Figure America, and I acheived both.  But I know myself, and I will be looking for the next challenge on my journey.  And I am sure that will be the Ms. Figure Universe and the FAME World Championships in Toronto next summer.

Thank you for all of the incredible comments, they really mean so much to me!

Most Importantly-

All things are possible!

WNSO Figure Professional!

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

I just wanted to give some feedback about my experience at The FAME North American in Miami, Florida.

I must first start by saying that from the first athlete meeting I had a great feeling about the WNSO.  This was my first time competing with FAME, and I felt so welcomed.  The athletes were treated with tremendous respect and the show ran very smoothly.  The venue was second to none, that is for sure.  We had many different rooms to change in  prepare for the competition.  The stage was huge and very well lit, you definitely felt on top of the world performing on it!  Well I sure did anyway.

The main difference between FAME and most other organizations in terms of scoring is the 6 mandatory posing, and a 90 second routine.  The 6 mandatory poses were so fun to do.  Once I committed to just doing them, I actually started to have fun with it.  And I had a blast doing the pose down at the end.  It was awesome!

That is one of the reasons I chose to do this event because I know how to get into shape and I know how to do 1/4 turns.  What I didn’t know, was how to put together a routine that not only had some elements of bodybuilding but had a few strength moves in it too.  That coupled with coordinating the right music and a costume was a new challenge for me.  And that is what it is all about to me, to continually challenge myself as an athlete.

It was a great feeling to walk away with my professional status.  And there are many categories to compete in that can accommodate you with where you are at in with your training.  From Bikini to Bodybuilding.  And most importantly…naturally!  Because at the end of the day, treating your body with respect is what this should all be about anyway!  And that is something you can feel good about.
