IDFA VP's Story in Toronto SUN Daily Newspaper
October 30, 2006
In an article entitled "Shape-shifting to a new life" in the Toronto SUN, Nicholas Davis writes about Desmona's personal journey from an unhealthy lifestyle to one of a nutural bodybuilder and Vice President of the Internatonal Drug Free Athletics.
Davis writes, "Three years ago if you told Desmona Cole she would one day stop drinking alcohol, stop eating fast food and become a bodybuilder, she'd have probably laughed in your face."
"Cole felt she had the necessary discipline to become a bodybuilder. She had been doing graphic design since graduating from York University, and at the time she had just started her own graphic-web design business called Keiba Designs. But in hindsight, even though she knew what it took to become a bodybuilder, she said she wasn't fully prepared for the road ahead of her."
"The whole workout thing was a shock to my system. After my first leg workout, my legs hurt me for about two weeks. Through the whole process, I'm saying to myself, 'Why am I doing this?' But after seeing what your body can do and how it's changing, you want to push yourself to do better the next time you get in the weight room."
"Cole pushed herself to a third-place finish in her first competition."
