For those ladies needing a kick start to your workouts or perhaps thinking of competing and want to learn a bit more about the process, or if you'd like to work out with MONICA BRANT and 20 other fitness minded inspiring women. I recommend heading to FEM Camp!

While in Austin Feb 1st-3rd I learned new exercise tweaks, connected with my new suit designer Maggie, shot some fresh (off season :) head shots with the very talented Brian Fitzsimmons and met my new training and nutritional coach Kim Oddo, in person!

Today marks 12 weeks out from my first competition on May 10th in Toronto. My body is showing changes after week one of my new program! I am extremely excited to hit the stage with my (Body-by-O) and will be blogging progressions throughout my training.
