Off the the Arnold Classic!
I am finally packed. I am a huge procrastinator and over-packer. I think it may be because I never really traveled much, so I don’t know what I am going to use and what I am not.
All day yesterday I was having major anxiety about this trip. Its not even the flying, its going out of my comfort zone I think. I just felt like I feel right before I step on stage. I get there around 430pm, and then go to the hotel and then get ready to go meet Marzia at a gym to film our video. I just got an email thats it is instructional and possibly about correct form in the gym. She is a personal trainer and I have learned from many screw ups, so it should be interesting to say the least. I do have my ISSA books, but have no time to study. I attend the school of hard knocks…heheee. Hurt yourself in the gym and say, "damn, I AM and idiot" and don’t do it again.
I have my video camera and my regular camera with me. I want to share as much as possible for those of you who cannot attend. It will also be podcast live(I believe) all weekend, so check the main page.
I will seriously miss all of you. My inbox may be full, but you can always write to me at my gaspari address on my page here. they are giving me my own page and column called "ask MsFitness" on their site, so you will be able to reach me there too.
I’m stepping outside the box. Me, yes, little old me. I will try to represent the moms and the women over 35 who are programmed to look a certain way and dress a certain way. Don’t suppress yourself for anyone! Get out there and be what you want to be, no matter your age or if you have kids. A huge portion of society is over 30. There are no rules that state we have to stop living , that our lives are over after 30 and you can only look great in your 20’s. People live to be 90 or more….who wants to look like crap for 60 years? Not Moi!
Take care, I will miss you guys terribly! I have no laptop to keep in touch.

Have a great time. I wish I could watch some of the podcasts, but I’ll be in Daytona Beach without my computer. Vacation. YIPPEEEE!!
I travel constantly it seems, and I have major anxiety over packing. Just when I think I get better……I guess I need to go tackle that now.
