What was the hardest part about your transformation?
The hardest part was just getting started. At that time, I didn’t have a gym membership, so I pushed myself to do the stair master almost daily. Only, I didn’t like cardio at first, but I knew I had to start somewhere and do some form of cardio to lose my body fat. I was able to slowly build my way up to 30 min a day and I even ran up to 1 hour a few times, which was a big deal for me.
What is your approach to nutrition?
So during contest prep, I eat a lot of chicken and greens (Laughs) When I’m in off season and I’m not competing, I go by the 80/20 rule. I’ll eat good and clean 80% of the week and then I will let myself indulge the other 20% of the week.
For example, Monday – Friday afternoon, I’ll eat all clean meals and when Friday night rolls around, I’ll allow myself a cheat meal or a treat. On Saturday and Sunday, I will also allow for a cheat meal.
I try to stay fairly lean year round. I try not to go above 10% body fat, so when I prepare for a show, I don’t have to follow any drastic weight loss strategies.
