What being a WBFF Pro Fitness Model means to me

So now its over, had an amazing time in Missisauga last weekend, making my professional debut on The WBFF World stage. So happy and proud to be a part of the most prestigious fitness and modeling event in the world. Had lots of fun and met a lot of great people.
Now its over for another year. This means new goals, new training, new diet. What does being a WBFF Pro Fitness model mean to me? This means that there is no such thing as an "off-season". Sure, I enjoyed a good amount of treats that I was unable to allow myself to have during contest prep, but now that the show is over, I do not throw away my clean eating and training until next year. Rather, now is a time to evaluate my strengths, weaknesses and goals for the current season. Being a fitness professional is being an advocate for a clean, healthy lifestyle. By doing this, my hopes are to inspire others to adopt (and fall in love with) a healthy way of living! Sure I could eat cookies, pizza and ice cream everyday if I wanted to, and still work put in work for 3 months a year to look great on stage, but I simply don't want to! My healthy meals and snacks are just as satisfying and tasty as all of the saturated-fatty-foods out there, and they also make me feel good by providing my body with the proper fuel and energy it needs to feel great everyday and recover properly from my training.

Of course it can be unrealistic to have a consistently lean "contest-shape" ready body, all year round. 7-15lbs weight gain after a show is natural (and necessary) in my opinion, depending on one's height. However, to me, being a WBFF Pro Fitness Model means being always being the advocate for a healthy lifestyle. This also means being ready for a photoshoot all year round. You want to shoot tomorrow? Sure, no problem. Next week? absolutely. 6 Months from now? I'll be there.
