Transformation Tuesday

1990 Visiting my relatives in Mississippi at 13 years old wearing almost a size 16. I hated myself and developed bulimia that I suffered from until I was 28 years old after finding the love for fitness.

27 years old, I was sick and tired of not having the body I wanted. I smoked cigarettes, drank too much alcohol and was 4 years of getting over many drug addictions that included cocaine, crack, and ecstasy. This is when I decided I was going to get healthy the right way and try to inspire my Mother to take her cancer diagnoses seriously. I ended up losing 45 lbs. without any fat burners. I discovered "Eating Clean".

2010 Finally getting fit! After 2 years of solid weight training and eating clean, my baby muscles were coming out!

My first competition with the INBF Alamo Showdown 2011. Placed 3rd top 5 in San Antonio, Tx. my first time competing. 

 Opened up Fit Science LLC in 2011 after my Mother was fired from her job because her cancer came back the 3rd time. In addition, at the gym I worked at they wanted to cut my wage down by half and I could not survive on such a wage for the transformations I was giving people with my knowledge.

2014 When I won my first Pro Card with the WNBF. Fit Science LLC had been open for almost 4 years!

My 2nd Worlds Champions with the WNBF were I placed 4th top 5!

2017 WNBF Pro Extravanga in Augusta, GA. Placed 3rd top 5!

2017 Almost 10 years later a gym owner, certified bodybuilding judge, competition prep coach and Pro Natural Figure and Fit Body Competitor!

Weighted Power Step Ups

A plyometric exercise used by coaches and trainers to build athlete's explosive strength like jumping higher or sprinting faster. This exercise is also used by me to build nice rounded quads and high glutes like a sprinter has. A look that competitors need for bodybuilding competitions. Make sure to be aware of you surroundings and not have any types of weights around the area you are executing this exercise.

Introduction of My Brand New Blog!

Hi there! If you don't know who I am, my name is Candace M. Foxx. The owner of Fit Science LLC and original creator of the Fit Science LLC Blog. I had to open up a new blog because my main email for Fit Science LLC was hacked by an ex-employee a couple years back and I have never been able to gain full control over it thanks to Google. I have sent them many messages to prove my identity, but they still have not done anything to fix the situation. Even though both emails used for my original blog has my pictures on both! So I can post on my older blog, but I can't do extra things like add authors, other advertisements or change the set up. On the bright side, I decided to start this one called Foxx Fitness Fanatic which is what I am. I love fitness, eating healthy and helping my clients reach their fitness goals.

I'm also a community leader in my local city, McAllen, Tx. I network with many women's and business networking groups. Here are a few I am associated with: Hispanic Women's Networking Group of the RGV (HWNT Membership Chair), FemCity RGV (Business Member), Mission Chamber of Commerce (Business Member), Rio Grande Chamber of Commerce (Member), NHPO-RGV (past Marketing Chair [2 years] and IT Chair [4 months] Member). I organize 2 5ks a year to help my community learn to be more aware of why it is important to live a healthy lifestyle throughout your life. Spring into Fitness is going on its 2nd year and the Fall into Fitness has been going for 5 years now. Each 5k raises partial funds to donate to local nonprofits in my local community.  

I also compete as a Professional Figure and Fit Body Competitor with the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF) and Naturally Fit Federation (NFF). I will soon be opening up my opportunities in the competition world by competing in other pro natural federations and competing internationally! These federations are lie detector and drug tested federations. I do not believe in using steroids, human growth hormone or any other substances banned by these federations and WADA. I personally feel I would be a hypocrite telling people who to be healthy while I am doing or promoting illegal substances that ruin the body and organs.   

Bodybuilding saved me from many evils like depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and bulimia. So why would I save my life from destruction only to go back and destroy all that I have worked for? 

I hope you like and follow this blog! I and my co-bloggers will be adding important information to help you reach your goals as well! Remember to follow my blog and follow my on Facebook, Instagram, Periscope and Twitter!
