Although I wasn’t able to complete the degree I originally wanted, bodybuilding provides me the opportunity to exercise my knowledge, and consistently expand my knowledge of nutrition. I will be applying there for 2013 admissions. My original intention was to go to law school, but I have recently decided to obtain my Master’s in Public Health Care from the University of California, Los Angeles. This degree was not offered in Alaska (my place of residence) at the time and after deciding that I didn’t want to leave state for college, I opted for a more broad degree in Political Science which allowed me to explore the public policy side of healthcare. The first degree I ever applied to college for was Dietetics because I wanted to be a Registered Dietician. I have always been interested in nutrition and alternative healthcare. After another two months I measured my body fat a week out from my first show and had dropped to 9%! I began to see the changes in my body and it was addicting! I would look at show pictures of IFBB Professional level competitors and think, “I want to look like that.” I began doing a TON of my own research and began experimenting with different workout and dieting techniques to see what worked for my body. This was when I became seriously committed to competing in a bodybuilding show. A week out from my 1st show it was down to 9%! When I first started working out my body fat measured at 26%. After two months we measured again and it was down to 18%! When I first started working out with her my body fat measured at 26%. She got me familiar with lifting weights and doing cardio on a daily basis. I had gone to the gym before but didn’t really have any experience with lifting weights or even how to properly use the cardio equipment. I knew I needed to do something.Ī friend of mine had competed in bodybuilding shows and began encouraging me to come to the gym with her. I still fit in my clothes (barely), but didn’t like how I looked in pictures and could feel my energy levels lagging. After an arduous two years of college, work and extracurricular activities, the lack of physical engagement began to take a toll on me. Once I started working full time and had adult responsibilities, I didn’t really partake in athletics any more. I also did sports such as track and field, cross country running, and cheerleading all through middle and high school. When I was 5 years old I started doing gymnastics and competed until I was 17. "I'd look at pictures of professional competitors and think, I want to look like that!"Ī: I had always been active in sports since I was very young.
