My name is Timea and I am 34 years old. I was born in Pecs, Hungary and moved to Canada when I was three years old. I am well travelled; having lived in many places in Canada, and I currently call Peterborough my home. I work as a Registered Nurse in a very busy Emergency department and enjoy the challenges that my job provides me. I am continually exposed to the effects of a healthy lifestyle on an individual's well being. This has inspired me to strive towards bettering myself physically, mentally and emotionally. My job continues daily to make me aware of my own health and the health of others. I have always been interested in physical activity and have incorporated it into many parts of my life but have been weight training for two years. My interest in the world of bodybuilding and figure competition began 6 years ago and I made it my goal to one day compete in a figure competition. A year ago I was dealt a personal crisis which left me devastated. If it was not for my dedication to my training, goals, the support of friends and family my life would have crumbled. I began to focus on training differently and changing my eating habits. I researched and became educated on various supplements and hired Sharon Mould, who has become my friend and confidant and watched my body transform. I entered my first figure competition with the IDFA in the Beginner and Novice divisions May 16th and to my delight placed first in both. I was elated! With the help and support of my trainer Sharon I entered my second Figure competition one week later with the OPA level one and once again placed first in my division. Osn June 27 I entered the IDFA competition in Montreal in the Open Division and received my procard. I found the experiences of the last two months both exhilarating and humbling at the same time. I have been inspired to better myself even further and plan to compete again next year with both the OPA and IDFA and my ultimate goal and dream would be to compete in the Arnold Classic. I can only hope that my experiences can inspire others around me to work towards any and all dreams and believe in themselves that anything can be achieved with dedication and hard work. I do not think I could have done it without Popeye's®! I shop at the Popeye's® in Peterborough, Ontario and have consulted with Kevin the owner many times. His knowledge and the wide array of products available at Popeye's® have been my saving grace throughout my journey. There are so many products that I use, it is hard to decide which one is my favourite! The delicious Allmax Allwhey chocolate protein supplement is amazing! I also use Allmax's glutamine powder and find it gave me an edge in training and building that I have not had before. Both Rapid Cuts and Lipo 6 have given me amazing results in regards to their thermogenic effects. Close to my competitions I have used the product Water Tight which has given me phenomenal results. I have not been disappointed by any product that I have tried from Popeye's and it will continue to be my second home as my career develops! Being dedicated and focused in the gym is vital to success. I found it very important to not make excuses for myself. I also think that for anyone wishing to achieve goals such as myself it is paramount to be open to new knowledge and information and the wisdom that others in this industry can provide. There is so much to learn and improve on that an open mind is the most important thing that one can have!
