A Big Thank You!!

I just want to thank all of you for your support, motivation, and help towards my goal to nationals! What a fun experience! I am so glad to come back and say I didn’t place as well as I wanted in New York but for me it’s just to have a goal and do the best I can each day towards that goal. There are always challenges and struggles but if we do our best and a little more give 110% that is what matters. I hope everyone who is reading this will now set a goal for themselves! You can do and accomplish whatever you set your mind to! Thanks again!! Sending health love and happiness to you all.

Going for Pro and a moment of reflection

I want to take a moment and thank all of you for being a part of my life and for all your commitments you make to Body Mecca and your healthy lifestyle. I promise to keep you young, strong and healthy the rest of your life since some of you have been with me going on 8 years. So cool and inspiring!

Well I just finished my 2nd workout being up since 4:30am and I think I’m more determined then ever especially eating orange roughy and 10 asparagus spears on weekend nights! I have always wanted to go to National Fitness competitions and of course one day have my PRO card and dare to be a star on TV at the Arnold Classic and get a trophy from Arnold himself plus getting a chance to be in all the top fitness magazines!!!

So I think I’m crazy and so do you (WHO WOULD DO THIS?) but this year I’m going to do this!! Thanks to all my support Sam Butler bought my incredible suits. Thanks a bundle to Dan Demuth for his incredible training skills, motivation, since 2003. He is the one who pushed me to do this in the beginning at the DAC and I kept building muscle. Thanks to every one of you for listening to me and giving me such great support.

Long story short, I’m having a fundraiser to get me to NEW YORK next weekend. I competed June 16 at Junior Nationals and placed in the top 5, which is great for a National show. Now I’ve continued my training and diet. I want, wish and pray to place top 2 at this show and then will receive PRO status!

3 Ways YOU can help me (need all the support I can get):

  1. Purchase a Motivational MALENA Calendar - 12 months to get you enthused each day and to help keep you on the right track! For only $100!

2007 NPC Jr. Nationals

I competed in Rosemont, IL from June 15-16 in the 2007 NPC Jr. Nationals. I placed 5th in the fitness category. It was a lot of fun and there was so much great competition.

Training Tips Before the Holidays

TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF AND DON�T GAIN THAT EXTRA WEIGHT!!

  1. Make training a lifestyle not just a period in your life.
  2. Surround yourself with positive people who have similar goals as you.
  3. Diet is everything remember the saying “you are what you EAT”
