Let\u2019s talk a bit about your start in the world of fitness modeling and competition. You left your job as a police officer to dedicate yourself to fitness. What sparked your interest, and what was\u00a0that transition like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was working the midnight shift as a road cop, and when things were slow I’d flip though fitness magazines. I still remember the one photo that inspired me to do my first fitness show: It was in <em>Fitness Rx for Women<\/em>, and it was of one of the top competitors at that time on the Arnold Classic stage. The lights, the beautiful two-piece suit, the glamour\u2014and the amazing physique, which, to me, represented hard work and strength\u2014made me fall in love.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea what I was doing or how shows worked\u2014at all. All I knew was that I wanted to be in amazing shape and compete on stage.<\/p>\n<p>I already worked out regularly, but I was practicing martial arts and doing a lot of police-type training. When I decided to compete, I changed my training to achieve that specific look.<\/p>\n<p>Meals also became very important. I couldn’t just eat out anywhere; I had to follow specific macros. I started to prep and pack my meals with me everywhere I went.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BmENO5XA_1y\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I won one class and placed second in the other. I was hooked! From there, things just took off. A month later, I booked a flight to Germany to work with a supplement brand at the FIBO (the world\u2019s biggest trade show for fitness, wellness, and health).<\/p>\n<p>I continued to work my butt off in amateur shows to earn my pro card. Just months after going pro, I was sharing stages with the very women who inspired me to begin this journey in the first place. I even ended up on the cover of the very magazine that piqued my interest in fitness modeling and competitions!<\/p>\n<p>What started as <em>I just want to do one show <\/em>very quickly\u00a0turned into a career, and I’m very grateful for that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/bodybuilding-secrets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Top Bodybuilders School You On Their Profession<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At that point, I decided to take a break from police work and focus on the amazing opportunities I had in front of me in the fitness world. Everyone thought I was nuts, but I knew it was the right thing to do.\u00a0Risks and challenges are two things I love so much. They help you grow!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward eight years and I’m still traveling and competing\u2014while running a personal development and online training business, and spending time with my beautiful husband and eight-month-old baby boy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you make the lifestyle adjustments necessary to begin training for your first-ever competition? Did you have to reroute your entire life?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nSince I was still working as a cop those first two years, I had to really plan my days so that I was able to work, train,\u00a0<em>and <\/em>cook all of my food. I’d get home from work around eight o’clock in the morning, sleep for a few hours, get up, eat, hit the gym for three hours, come home, prep my food, and go to work again. Sometimes, I\u2019d even use my 4 a.m. break at work to train.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kept you going in moments of difficulty or challenge?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nI kept my eyes on my goals. I believe that visualization is very important for manifesting your desires and I did a whole lot of that! If I didn’t feel motivated, I would visualize myself accomplishing what I was after, and that usually did the trick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s it like being a mother <em>and<\/em> a fitness model and competitor? Did you internalize messages or pressures about the body while pregnant or after pregnancy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh my goodness\u2014women put <em>so<\/em> much pressure on themselves to stay in shape during pregnancy. While I definitely didn\u2019t want to gain too much weight during my pregnancy, it wasn’t my biggest concern. I was more focused on making sure that I was eating the healthiest I ever had to help my baby develop and grow.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BcUtqK9DbG8\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The physical body didn’t concern me because it\u2019s just that: a physical body. I knew that after my body completed the wonderful journey of pregnancy, I\u2019d get back in shape.<\/p>\n<p>Because I had that mentality, I really loved my body during pregnancy and embraced every stage and every change. As long as my babe was good, I was happy. I focused on listening to my body, drinking lots of water, eating clean, and meditating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you do to get back into physical shape after having a child?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I didn’t rush into it. Training just wasn\u2019t on my mind. For me, it was more important to enjoy the special moments with my baby boy.<\/p>\n<p>I was cleared to exercise just shy of six weeks after having Breton, and after that I started to train two to three times a week in my garage gym at home.<\/p>\n<p>I started out slowly to be respectful of my body and the journey that it had just gone through. I knew I would need to learn balance in this new life, so I followed an eight-week program that eased me back into training.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BnJWuxqg-or\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
