I work out year round, but starting with May 2009, I focused primarily on the Ms Fitness World competition. Visualization, planning, and commitment to my program were the keys to success. This year I was "hungry" for my third win. I decided to do whatever was necessary to make it happen. With the help of my dear friend Shawn, we did what was necessary. Training, mental focus, and nutrition--even the opportunity for travel and a few beautiful vacations to refresh my mind—were all part of the journey to the Ms Fitness World Title.
