Why do you compete? 
That’s a question I get all the time, especially since I have a full time corporate career. Often that question is followed by “You’re crazy!” or “I could never do that!” I compete for me and me alone. I compete to give my workouts a purpose. I compete to feel strong. I compete to look good naked. I compete to feel confident in a power dress. I compete to give my life routine and structure because I am more successful in all aspects of my life when I am “in season”. I compete because when I’m prepping I eat clean and when I eat clean my skin looks better, my brain works better, and my body feels better. I compete because I love getting glammed up and showing off all my hard work. I love competing because I love meeting other people with the same passion as mine. I compete because it could potentially inspire others to think about their health and body.  I compete for me. 
So why do you compete? You should be able to answer with a laundry list of things! Because at the end of the day, this should be FUN. That’s what life is all about ;) I am proud of my hard work and the physique I brought to the musclecontest Los Angeles Championships!
