good morning all,

I’m sitting here at work looking at the calendar; and my official diet time is 10 weeks and 6 days to go (yes I have it down to the day).  I’m antsy because I didn’t realize this show is a pro qualifier show until this morning when I looked at the entry form and the person who wins their class gets their pro card.  Ohhh how I would love to get my pro card.  In pro qualifier shows the competition tends to be very tough….but as always I am up for the challenge. 

Next month I change up my diet, I stop taking one of my supplements, and I begin carb cycling.  I’m anxious to see how much my body changes with the cardio 2x a day sometimes 3x a day, diet, and my workout regime.  I have to get lean.  I will take some pictures by the weekend and upload them so you can see the progress.  My goals is to take pictures weekly so I can see the difference.  Wish me luck.  I’m hungry for this and I want to win!!!

Hi Everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend and good Valentine’s Day.  I had an extra day off and I’m still worn out!  I have begun incorporating 2x a day and let me tell you it isn’t easy!!  My body is physically tired.  This the first time I have in a long while that I have done this.  I sleep like a baby now!  I know that over the next 12 weeks this will make significant improvement on my body.  Sometimes I wish I could just take the blue pill and get into contest shape. 

I know it’s only wishful thinking, and I have to keep repeating my mantra to myself, "If this were easy, everyone would compete."  I think it gets harder on the days I’m extra tired but I still keep pushing no matter what.  Right now I go to the gym 6 days a week and do cardio 7 days a week.  Coupled with school studying, and work God only knows how I manage to get this stuff done.

Let me go, I’m at work it’s 1:15 and I’m going running at 1:45 and by the time I get back into the office it will be time for me to eat my meal with carbs!!  Yea!!!  Smooches!

Good Morning BB.com.

Hope you are doing well today.  Hope your training and dieting is going well too!!  This week has been a hard week.  I haven’t gotten any cardio in at all   Normally I take off from the gym on Fridays but not tonight.  I have to go.  I have to hit my back hard and get in a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio.  I’m not worried I’ll get back on track.  I’ll just be glad when we move our clocks forward so I can start running in the mornings again.

Well let me go, I’m at work and I have a conference call at 9:30 a.m. UGH!  Whoever thinks to have conference calls that early in the morning needs to be slapped.  J/k.  LOL!

Have a wonderful day.  Enjoy your V-Day. 

Hi Everyone!!

I know it’s been a while since I blogged.  November to be exact.  I hope everyone has had a great year thus far.

I have taken on some new challenges for 2009.  I began school.  I have decided to go against everything I thought I would do and become an RN.  I know you probably thinking how did I come to this resolution?  Well, I figured, I enjoy a healthy lifestyle, I enjoy interacting with people, and there is a shortage of nurses so why not?

I am still training, and my first show for 2009 is Mr. and Mrs. Natural Philadelphia.  This will be the first show that I am training for solely by myself.  So it will definitely be a new experience.  This is a chance to put to the test everything I have learned in the past year.

I have had some personal challenges for 2009. I know you’re probably thinking how could this be since the year has just begun.  Matters of the heart are always personal if you know what I mean.  Trying to maintain my composure and remain focused is mentally draining.  I know that I will get through it.

Anywho, thanks for stopping by, I will make sure I blog more consistently, after all writing is my outlet and I don’t mind disclosing my life because it lets people know that even though my strength and composure may show on the outside, internally I struggle with things just like anyone else.  I suppose it shows my humanistic and humble side.

So be blessed, be motivated, and continue to pursue your dreams.
