Over a month ago, I was asked to be a part of the first ever Team Bodybuilding.com.  Without any hesitation, I said yes!  Alot of you may remember all my posts, messages, emails to you in hopes of having a chance to run for the Bodybuilding.com Spokesmodel.



It was my dream for this year.  I came in 6th place out of 225 women purely through votes, because of everyone who voted for me, friends, family and my support group.  I found out a few days later I was not chosen as the top 5 women to move on to compete against one another in L.A..  I was ok with this as I realized how far ahead in their careers the top 5 women are.  It only made me want it more and want to work harder towards similar goals and I was pumped!

See my video on Spokesmodel Entry under Videos to see what I believe a Spokesmodel is.

But also, a few days later, I got the request to be a part of Team Bodybuilding.com and later thought to myself ......I got what I wanted, I wanted to be a Spokesmodel for Bodybuilding.com and have the opportunity to reach a greater crowd and help others find what I found in myself.

I have worked 2 years on changing my attitude, my actions, my thoughts, my reactions; into healthy, strong ones.  I have used the Law of Attraction and this really stopped me in my tracks when I received the contract that was labeled, "Spokesmodel and Model."   I write all my goals down and put them up in my shower (above the ledge towards the ceiling) to look at them every morning.  It's the one place I always am at most days, besides the gym....unless I'm having a bum day;) or feeling like a homebody, which happens! 

What this means to be a part of Team Bodybuilding.com is I will be working some of the booths for Bodybuilding.com along with an amazing network of people, such as Jamie Eason, Mike Ohearn, Inspirational Nick Scott, Michelle Hanson & Kathleen Tesori (both have graced the Bodybuilding.com booths for years now and have been many other places in their careers) and Sean Sarantos & Kizzito Ejam (both of who I worked with on the Lift Life Campaign).

I want to thank Bodybuilding.com and all its employees who thought of me for this job.  To be a Spokesmodel was the dream I was shooting for and now it's real.  I believe in some degree of luck, or being in the right place at the right time, but I also believe in working hard for what you want in life and never giving up until you get what you want; being ready for opportunity when it knocks.  My mom always told me, when they say no, it doesn't mean no, it means not now.

I can't wait to see what the future holds with Bodybuilding.com and to get to know everyone on this team better, as everyone that is a part of the Team has done and is doing great things with their lives, and the common theme I notice, most are trying to help others achieve what they have, a healthy and active lifestyle. 


Come and see me at the Arnold (not sure what the schedule is yet and what expos we will be working), but I hope to be behind the booth there representing the coolest company that has given me so many amazing opportunities.  Thank you Bodybuilding.com  I am proud to be a part of your team.
