A Peek into the Mind of GeminiJedi

Just want to send a warm "GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN" to everyone competing Saturday at the NPC Colorado State Figure, Fitness, Bikini and Body Building Championships!  It’s been a long, fun journey.  Stay strong–we’re SOOO CLOSE!  Be proud of what you’ve accomplished, the changes you’ve made over the last year, and regardless of placings be happy with yourself
And if anyone recognizes me there, please come up and say hi!    I love meeting people from here, and it’s always nice to have friends who understand what it’s like to compete

Where has the time gone?!?  It seems like just a few short weeks ago I had summoned the courage to ask Rita "Rae of Sunshine" to coach me for this show.  BOY AM I GLAD I DID   She is amazing, knows her stuff, is incredibly inspirational, super sweet….I could go on and on and on and on…   Anyways, I am SO thankful to have her in my life and as my coach and I am absolutely AMAZED at what I have accomplished with her tutelage.  Come what may next Saturday, I am happy.  I am happy with my physique, and most of all happy with myself.  It has been a journey made much easier with her guidance.  And I made a friend at the end of last year who has proven to be another angel   Seriously, without these two beautiful ladies I would not be as content and semi-sane as I am now.  YAAAAAAAAAAY!

I realized Friday that show was supposed to be today and I was like "huh….I’d be happy, but I’m glad I have 1 more week "  So here goes this last week!  Photo shoot tomorrow, 3 more workouts, tan, then time to show off my hard work!!!

Two more weeks!!!  I’m so excited.  It’s been such an incredible journey this year.  It’s getting TOUGH AS HECK right now, but this is where the competitors start to weed themselves out/into placings.  This is where the tough get going, where the winners pull ahead.  Gotta stick with the Top 5 pack!  Gotta keep pushing through…2 weeks to stage!  Even fewer workouts!
I got my suit back.  I can’t wait to see it on stage, me all tanned and done up all girly-like LOL   It’s going to be fun.  There’s a lot to be proud of this year, and a lot has been learned to improve upon for next time.  It’s all about learning and being better and better each time.  And staying lean in the "off" season so that dieting down for the next round isn’t quite as daunting…
