It’s on. We just confirmed that I’ll be in Toronto, on September 19th, to defend my 2-time title of “Miss Bikini Diva” for a third year!
Last year was a gigantic thrill and it was amazing to win for a second time. But I’m not taking it lightly — this competition is tough. There are tons of amazing competitors, and just because I’ve won two years before doesn’t guarantee me anything!
But if you know me and how I roll, you know it’s all about believing in yourself and what you can do.
One of the reasons winning these competitions is so wonderful and important to me is because of the journey I went on.
From being 80 pounds overweight after giving birth to my two kids, the idea of one day competing — let alone winning — a bikini competition was so far out of my mind that I might as well have been signing up to pilot the next space shuttle.
And this wasn’t just any old bikini contest — this is the World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation. Competition is strong, in every sense of the word.
It wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t impossible, either — I worked hard, I leaned on my family, my husband, and my friends for support, and I took off those 80 pounds and transformed my entire body into the lean, strong, sexy me you see today.
It seemed crazy back at the time — just losing 10 pounds was a struggle, along with raising my kids, working, and doing everything else in this hectic world we live in.
So how would I ever lose more than that, and not only lose it, but get strong, toned, and fit enough to compete with other FITNESS MODELs?
I was persistent.
I had faith in myself.
And I did it!
And I plan to do it again this year, too! Check out the WBFF website for more info, and come see me on September 18th, in Toronto, where I’ll be defending my title!
Believe!

You can do it! I told my husband that if I could go on vacation, it would be to watch you compete in Toronto. You never know, I might be there cheering you on!

I can’t wait to see it happen! I really wondered if you worked while training for the first competition. What was your old job?
