Being on the cover of Status: ...Is up to the voters! If I were honoured with the opportunity to appear on the cover of Status Fitness Magazine, I think I'd be SHOCKED! And I know I'd be GRATEFUL for this opportunity that I may not have had otherwise.  Thank you, Status, for putting on this competition for the hard-working women of fitness!

Bio: I didn't grow up playing sports.  I have had mostly desk jobs and would much rather curl up with my sketchbook than get on that treadmill (again)! However, since I prefer an athletic appearance, I need to be disciplined to make it happen! Choosing chicken when I want chocolate is tough, but I know my diet is the holy grail.  I've competed in the ABBA as a middleweight bodybuilder and also in the couples category with my training partner.  Other than training, eating and sleeping.. I like to paint (bodybuilders, naturally!) and spend time with the people I love and appreciate.

Favorite Quote(s):

"...thou mayest fashion thyself in whatever shape thou shalt prefer..."

Nutrition / Supplements: I feel at my best when my protein intake is high and I'm eating every two hours. Top that off with some 'interesting' combos of fibrous veggies, some quality starches, and tons of water for best results!

Training: 've got to sweat at least once a day.. better if it's twice or more!  Weight training is my focus, concentrating on one body part per day.  As for cardio, the best trick for getting through those long distance uphill treadmill climbs is many hours of PVR'd smut --> reality television! Gotta get through it one way or another!

What separates Status from any other fitness magazine: PASSION!  Passionate writers and photographers make Status Fitness stand out. It is clear to me that those involved in putting together this magazine are strongly invested in healthy living, advancement of the sports that I love, and my favourite part: showcasing up-and-coming athletes.
