Hi Everyone!

I hope you had an enjoyable, safe, and eating right holiday weekend   LOL!  I cheated….there I admit it….The key lime pie in the damn Giant store kept calling me…..I feel so guilty!!!  But then again this does show my humanistic side….That was on Saturday…needless to say, I’ve been good since then….and some how I managed to lose a pound….how that happened I’ll never know,  not that I’m complaining….I just finished eating my luxurious lunch of tuna….yep straight outta the can….

I keep myself motivated by continuously looking at the calendar and pictures of the women I will compete against in 8 short weeks….I’ll be in the gym today hitting the weights SUPER hard….now that I think about it, is there any other way? 

Over the weekend I was pondering my life and changes I am/want making/make….hence the book I mentioned in my other blog (Repositioning Yourself..).  I have decided that going to law school IS NOT for me….When I speak to attorneys, there is so much time you must invest….I’m not willing to invest that type of time for a law career just to say I make 6 figures…..Money is great but it doesn’t truly make a person happy.  I’m not willing to forfeit my goal of competing and eventually obtaining my pro card just to say I’m an attorney….I want to do what makes me the happiest and competing makes me happy….My value and self-worth isn’t determined by amount of letters I have trailing my name (J.D., B.S. MBA, etc.)  it is determined by how I treat people, my gratitude and appreciation for people and life, and having a loving and trusting relationship with Him.  Those are some of the things that determine who I am.  You may read that and not agree and I’m not asking you to…..it’s simply my opinion.

These past couple of nights all I dream about is fitness and competing.  I’ve dreamed about people in the industry whom I’ve never met.  I wake up not with my job on my mind but what am I going to do in the gym today….it’s uncanny….I ask myself is this my calling?  I speak to my mom about it and she says the same thing over and over….Pray about it…..Now you know that’s not what I wanted to hear…but she’s right.

So over these next weeks me and God have to have some serious chats about my life…..You may read this and think this girl is trippin’.  However I firmly believe that He is the one person you can place your trust, faith, and expectations on and He will never fail….now it may be in His time and not your own (I’m still trying to grasp this concept) however what is meant for me will be mine.

With that being said, I’ll end here….but not before leaving a quote.

"Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely." Auguste Rodin
