So most of you know that I participated in the "Fit Mom" Competition at Europa.  I did not place and that is okay.  However, Cougar Energy Drink has asked me to be their SpokesModel!  I’ve been quiet about it until now.  This is all very exciting.  This is a new company and they are going to be huge!  Please visit their site:  www.cougarenergydrink.com.

Thank you all for your support!

Alright everyone, you need to go to the following site:  http://www.myspace.com/gasparinutrition.  Look and see who is on their default pic.  Let me and them know what you think.  This is pretty exciting!

The competition was awesome!  I didn’t win  or place, but I had a great time!  I met a lot of great people and everyone there was so supportive of each other and had a great time!  I will post some pictures this week.  I have to get some pictures from Marzia…my camera was crappy!  Thank you all for your well wishes and support.  Who knows whats next for this hot mom!  Take care!

My first competition is tomorrow!  I’m getting really excited, but just a little nervous.  I’m going to go in with the best attitude and confidence that I have.  Even if I don’t place, its one more thing in life that I can say I did.  Wish me luck.  I’ll keep you all posted.

When I started my transformation on March 21 with Marzia, my cholesterol was around 300.  I had it checked and my results came in….its dropped 85 points!  This is very exciting.  So it does really make a difference to eat the right foods and to excercise regularly.  I wasn’t obese, but I wasn’t healthy either.  So for all of you starting out, I would suggesting getting this checked and make this a goal also….lower that cholesterol!!

Take care.

So I sent in my entry forms and money for a competition for next week.  I was real nervous to send it in, but between Marzia, my daughter and my husband supporting me, I thought "what do I have to lose?"  I’ve gained so much already (and lost:))…new friends, new goals, new clothes, new attitude.  I thought I was PTO President at my children’s school, I get up in front of parents and children all the time, why not?  So its next weekend in Dallas for "fit" mom’s.  I tried on suit last night…Marzia made me a food guide to follow until then.  Its been so easy so far.  I made the kids and my husband a confetti cake the other night and had no desire to lick the bowl or the mixers.  Usually I would sneak off without the kids knowing and lick the bowl before they knew there was any left.  This time, they had it all too themselves….they were so happy!

My arms are looking great…the abs are in.  Just working on lifting the butt the next week.  Its almost there.

So wish me luck, its just one more "New" thing that is happening in my life.

Marzia threw a Transformation Party for me on Saturday night.  It was such a nice gesture and fun time!  She has so many wonderful surprises.  First when I walked in I saw this huge cut out of me…wow, it was crazy to see myself upclose, not in the pictures.  Then  she had a bag full of goodies for me…magazines, workout clothes…and  my favorite, my pink Polar watch.  I think she got this for me because she was tired of me asking her during classes how many calories she had burned:)  At the end of the dinner they brought out a cake.  It has 3 progess shots of my transformation (I will post these)…it was so cool!  It was nice to have my husband and friends around that have supported me thru this.  Its nice to have friends that are proud of your accomplishements! 

Marzia, thank you again for my party.  I had a wonderful time!
