Several weeks ago I calculated the total amount which has been spent by my sponsors and by me on all costs associated with the half dozen national qualifiers and the thirteen pro qualifiers I have competed in since 2009, and almost fell over in my chair.
I am no stranger to adversity. My life has consisted of all those things you read and hear about in the news. A live, Lifetime Movie. I was abused as a child by several family members (beaten and molested), went through several parents’ divorces.
IFBB Bikini Pro Vanessa’s Fit and Fab Lifestyle: Blog #16
Sheeww! What an exciting Olympia weekend it was! I have to say all of the men and women looked amazing. In Bikini Nathalia really brought in her conditioning and looked great. In women's bodybuilding Iris looked phenomenal and kept her title.
Well the Olympia is over and what an amazing experience it was! Stepping on the biggest stage in the IFBB is an honour and privilege and this year was no different – being surrounded by friends and supporters from all over the world, representing my country, Nutrabolics, Team FMG and my coach Tad Inoue was a huge accomplishment :)
