Congratulations to Jennie Johnson of Maple Ridge for taking 5th Place in Figure Short at the 2010 Sandra Wickham Fall Classic. This years event was the biggest ever novice level bodybuilding/fitness/figure show in BC and the competition was tough!

Jennie’s hard work paid off yet again for her second time competing this year - placing her higher this time around with increased muscle and amazing conditioning!

Watch out ladies... Jennie is working her way up the ranks and is a likely to soon be a contender for a top 3 placing!

On Saturday, August 1, 2009, the World Police and Fire Games Bodybuilding event took place at the Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby.

Sgt. Miriam Booth of the Strategic Planning Unit at RCMP “E” Division Headquarters won a Gold Medal at this her first bodybuilding competition.

She was one of 8 female athletes who competed in what is primarily a male competition.

An 18 year veteran of the RCMP, Booth had dreamed of competing in a bodybuilding competition since she was in High School and considered competing in the Games.

“When I heard the Games were being held in Burnaby, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to fulfill my dream, and, turning 40 years old the same year, it would be the perfect Birthday present to myself.” Booth said.

Before she knew it, it was January 1st 2009 and she found herself heavier and more out of shape than ever before. “My boyfriend was still convinced that I could do it and encouraged me to give it a try.” she said.

Sgt. Booth began a training and diet regimen and in February knew that she was going to need some help in reaching her goal. She hired Kerry Marshall, a personal trainer in Tri-City area and by competition day had lost and astounding 44 lbs and approximately 22 % body fat in order to be ready for the event.

“It’s an amazing feeling to have accomplished a life long dream, but to have done it in such a sort time and to come home with a medal just shows how hard work, dedication and a lot of support can make dreams come true!” expressed Booth.

This is where I would like to pay homage to those people in my life who’s help and support has brought me to this point and whose continued endorsement is what helps keep me focussed and true to my goals.

Thanks to my two children Keegan (12) and Taryn (10) who have given me a ton of support over the years as I have prepared for my contests. For all the beautiful card creations I have received along the way telling me that I am doing a great job, that they are proud of me and congratulating me on each small success. A special thanks to my daughter who’s ever vigilant eye was always watching to make sure that I never cheated on my diet and for always keeping a secret stash of candy for me for my appropriate cheat days!

Thanks to Pete Friesen and David Aboody of Twixpix for creating some wonderful images for my web site and personal portfolio.

And last but not least a special thanks to Simon Lacouline of Fitness Medias for creating my new and improved website and saving me from many painful hours of trying to figure out how to put it altogether by myself!
