Note from Miss Amanda Lee:
The fateful day has come and gone! I can’t believe it, for the past 10 weeks it was the only thing I thought about…day in and day out. Now, I will remember it forever as the day I went Pro! Such an amazing and exciting feeling I will never forget. The lights, the music, and the atmosphere are second to none at a WBFF show and while you’re up there on stage you feel like a superstar!
Ever since my first show, almost exactly one year ago at the WBFF Calgary show, the prestigious Pro Card was the ultimate dream of mine. With hard work, dedication and the drive anything is possible. Wanting to win is simply not enough, you have to be willing to fight for it and make sacrifices. Push past the obstacles you are presented with and keep going. It is when you do this you will see great results and you will be shocked at what you can accomplish. First and foremost you really must enjoy what you do; health and fitness must be a passion of yours. Also, organize your time, set your priorities, and make sure you allow yourself an appropriate amount of time to peak in time for show are all important factors you must think of. It is when you take this sport seriously and take your training to another level that you will be able to accomplish what you dream of.
If you want to be a pro it is simple, you must train like one, and this is one thing I have learnt for sure.
Don’t underestimate what you are capable of! Believe in yourself! Because you will only be your own worst enemy if you don’t have confidence in yourself! Be determined! Be fearless!
Paul and Allison Dillett, Thank You. It means so much to me to be able to call myself a professional athlete with your organization. The calibre of your Pro athletes is absolutely shocking, and to now be able to call myself one of them is an absolutely incredible moment I am so happy and so amazed! Also, to my trainers, Julie and Craig Bonnett, Thank You, for helping me realise that I have the potential to go after my dreams and succeed! It makes me believe that anything is possible and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Good Luck to everyone competing in Calgary! You are almost there!! It should be another incredible show, expect nothing less from the WBFF!

GW Burns Calgary Photoshoots

GW Burns
“The imagery that I project comes from my heart, inspired by my dreams. It can be said that a little part of me is captured within each of my pictures. Thus a GW Burns image is in essence a landscape of moods, emotions, and feelings that are my gifts to you.
If you are looking to give your pictures an edge of style, imagination, and uniqueness, contact me. My goal is to project mood in everyone of my images. I love meshing the background into the story of the picture. That is why I scout my locations ahead of time and shoot them before the model ever arrives. I want you, the viewer, to be able to literally inhale the panorama of the image.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Paul Dillett for bringing GW Burns into the fitness industry, specifically inviting this renowed photographer to shoot at the WBFF events, including this upcoming WBFF Calgary Championships! GW Burns is photographer for WBFF Fit & Firm online magazine and has already shot with WBFF Pros Nicole Costa, Natalia Muntean and myself recently – check out Fit & Firm to see the results!
Timeslots are almost full for his Calgary photoshoots, so be sure to email him to secure your opportunity! Please feel free to contact me to ask questions about GW, his work and what my experience was like working with this incredible talent.

Amanda Lee is READY for the WBFF Quebec Championships! Final Week Contest Prep
Posted by Jewels - Julie Bonnett on June 14th 2010
Be the first to comment!
Amanda Lee has been training at an elite level to impress Paul & Allison Dillett and everyone in attendance at this weekend’s upcoming WBFF Quebec Championships. She shares with WBFF fans what is involved in her final week of contest prep:
Amanda Lee:
“One week out, such a wonderful feeling. There’s still one week left of hard work and many changes to be seen with peak week beginning, but on the other hand you know that your cardio sessions are numbered and the day that you have been waiting for is fast approaching.
Putting the finishing touches on outfits, practicing different ways to wear your hair, booking appointments for your nails, down to food prep and organising travel plans is what you’ll find me doing. That, alongside the responsibilities of a normal work day and some of the hardest training sessions my body has yet to go through. The anticipation and drive is what keeps you going at this point, because you know it’s certainly not the carbs!
The aesthetics—you want to look your best on show day, from head to toe, so making sure everything is planned and practised will help you present your best package on show day. Making sure each outfit has the right accessories, and shoes. That you have your hair done big and beautiful to show case your inner diva, and makeup just the way you like it for stage, often quite different then your everyday look.
Food preparation is another important factor in preparing for show day. Making sure you have all of the specific meals to compliment your week out plan is a timely event I’ll be doing this week. Making sure that while travelling I have food to go, as well as planning for some healthy post show meals. Life doesn’t stop moving on show day, so planning a few meals extra is always great, especially when wanting to keep your hard earn beach bod through summer! Or continuing to train hard for another show… It is only 13 weeks until the WBFF Worlds show! Of course, some good food and celebration will be in tow of the show but I certainly know I plan on showing this hard work off at the beach, if you’re going to be a bikini model, you gotta look the part!
Then there’s the swagger, get comfortable in your shoes girls, because we will be up there workin’ it! Knowing your best angles and poses for the photographers and judges is important. Having someone whose opinion you trust is a good way to practise for this part. Work it ladies!!
Seven more days, that’s it!! Keep going everyone!! I can’t wait for the day to come. Luckily it is fast approaching and will be here soon! Personally, I cannot wait to step on that stage and strut my hard earned physique! Proud of the changes I have made since my last competition and ready to take my pro card! I’m ready! See you in a week!!”
