Q: What did you eat on the day of the Fitness America Pageant to keep your energy up and your body lean?

A: “I ate grilled chicken throughout the day. Before I went on stage, I ate rice cakes with peanut butter and sugar-free jelly.”

Q: Who was at the event to support you?

A: “My parents and my boyfriend are my biggest supporters. They get me through my season. My mom travels with me to every competition – in three years she hasn’t missed one! I love them all! A special thanks goes to my coaches from Team Cathy Savage for pushing me.”

Q: Do you plan to compete in 2009?

A: “Yes, I would love to compete at Fitness Universe in June 2009.”

Q: What was your exercise routine the day before and day of the competition?

A: “I don’t work out for three days before I compete. It gives my body time to rest and recover from previous workouts.”

Q: What's your favorite clean-meal recipe?

A: “I have a lot of favorites, but one is my three bean salad. I just love beans! I mix chickpeas, large red kidney beans and black beans with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and fresh basil, then toss with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. I can eat that meal every day!”
