Training with Ava

Wow what an inspiration!! and what a humbling experience and confidence booster all at the same time!! I felt like a "fool peacock" for a minute when I heard..... "yup at the national level now,,,you just need to jump through some hoops!!

I have much to learn!! She gave me some pointers about posing etc etc. There just wasnt enough time!!!! It went by so quick!

Ava was very genuine and authentic. What a great opportunity she has as a "Pro" and thats all she does for a living now. Very Kewl! She is the poster girl for Gaspari Nutrition!!

She gave me lots of positive feedback and compliments..I was like a deer in the headlights I think at times! I also blew her away on a few things.......we shared alot of laughs!!!

We exchanged food ideas and prep. I have a few secrets of my own I shared with her! We talked about Dean "My trainer" and how much he has helped me change up my training! How making the switch to fish has been the best thing for me....not only physically but mentally!

I'm looking forward to speaking with her more!!! That was a really great experience. I feel so motivated and inspired! I was inspired when I saw her pictures, now I'm that much more inspired having trained with her!!!!!

On a side note..not training at my own club....I so appreciate my gym toooooooooooo..........I love Fitness Fanatx!!! Our members!!!!

Thank you Ultimate Fitness for hosting training there.

I was oblivious really to my surroundings while we were training just being a sponge and trying to soak it all in...well all except the dude doing clean and jerks and pretty much dropping the weights from shoulder height to the ground??? Scared the crap out of me for a second!!!

I am so thankful I got the opportunity to train with her! Thank you to Dean and Reflex Lougheed for making it happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm one week out from Kelowna....gunning for "FIRST" for sure!!! All this hard work and commitment is paying off!! As always how could it not....just the journey alone is amayzing!! Everyday I wake up and go...are you a champion today?

The little voice inside my head says HELL YA!!!! and away I go!!!....

don't get me wrong..some days a raging battle goes on in my head!! There is that other voice in my head that I have to fight with some times!

The one that says ya right?? who are you kidding? Your to old..your toooo this your tooo that???

Then the champions voice speaks up and tells the other lil voice to shut its protein hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!! actually its a cake hole for that one!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!

Okay off I go!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooohooooo!!
