This blog will cover all city and statewide bodybuilding competitions and the out-of-state guest posers. Weight-loss success stories from local people, features/bios on bodybuilding, fitness and figure competitors, coverage of fad diets. Nutritious recipes and reviews on local gyms and health food stores. I would also like to cover Adult/Childhood Obesity in America and specifically,Alaska. Weight-lifting techniques/safety as well as the benefits for women. This is just a general idea, as the blog will be constantly evolving.
I competed in my first bodybuilding competition as a senior at East High in 2000 and after winning the overall title, bodybuilding and fitness became my passion. I've been a NASM certified personal trainer since 2004 and I love helping people achieve their goals with fitness and proper nutrition. My overall bodybuilding titles include: Ms. Anchorage 2006 and The Anchorage Crystal Cup 2007. I have lived in Anchorage since 1988.

The buck stops here...
After having a baby, my body was used to the large meals (for the baby of course) and taking it easy as far as exercising went. Now, after realizing that not everyone's weight falls off if nursing, I am determined to get back on the horse. I took it easy in the beginning, but it took forever to stop making excuses as to why I wasn't working out and eating better. So, I set up my weight tracker, my weekly goals for workouts and eating habits. Then I called a friend, told them what I was doing, what my goals were, and asked them to hold me accountable. And then I did the toughest thing... I stopped making excuses and just did it. It is still hard, especially when it is easiest to make excuses, but it is so worth it!
