Still no laptop
Im only here once in awhile now…it really sucks. I honestly didnt think I would miss it so much. Fitness is kind of a lonely world. Not many people understand whaT FIGURE IS!!! I go out and am questioned alll the time and have to explain it as a "muscle beauty" pageant. Sounds cheesy that way though. I know people don’t understand me very well. I can’t say Im disapointed that i look different than most women…..but sometimes I do want to just be invisible. Ya….ya……..invisible. I get tired of the drug questions. If I was 5′3" and ripped at 150lbs….maybe, just maybe I could understand it, but at 122lbs…….nope. Damn people, its just what working out 5 days a week for 3 years and eating right does to you……..weight loss is a side effect of the gym!!!!
Ok, my workout have been ok. I have been doinhg cardio everyday even though I hate it and have only done about a week of it all last year. I think I have been at it for about 3 weeks now. Funny, but I think i am getting leaner but my weight is staying the same. My face is thinner,,,,,,,,,,thats about how I know……the face thing. I usually do the step mill and the life fitness machine, but yesterday I used to rowing machine. Kicked my own ass for 20 minutes!!! Holy crap that thing is hard. Im actually sweating and its pretty gross. Other than the cardio i am doing full bodyweight exercises, moderate weights and supersets. Lots of shoulders and calves.
Masters nationals is 3 weeks away.Im so nervous. This is a really big deal for me and a really big show. But I have to think to myself ,"how many people ever get to a national level on any sport?" So i will stick it out of course.So, even if there are 150 women there…….out of the millions in the US…….thats a pretty good accomplishment.
I hope everyone has been good. Like I said, my time online is super limited, but hopefully my laptop has been fixed and I can answer my mail!!!

Geez. I hear you on the drug questions. My wife’s family , especially her fat ass mother ans sisters are constantly insinuating that we have used some kind of magic formula to drop fat and get where we are. I know they are just jealous, but its getting old. Im sure that If I told them we injected olive oil, they would be running to Sam’s club as we speak! ahahaha…you look awesome and you will live longer and happier to boot.

A guy at the gym wears a shirt that says, "No, I don’t use steroids." I love that shirt. It says it all. He lifts hard, is always at the gym so he deserves the body he has. Yet, he probably has to put up with that question so many times that he bought a shirt about it. Take it as a compliment, though. You just look that good that people ask. No one ever asks me. I still look fat.

I agree on EVERY point you made. The "drug" question. The lack of understanding of the fitness lifestyle. Ignorance of the competition scene. The dedication to being better than the "average". Geez. It just goes to show why we’re all on here. It’s a unique and special world of dedication to being our best and setting the example for the rest. YOU ARE THE BEST!!

I’m going to compete for first time in March 2010, my PT was very concerned that my husband was supportive of this, which he is, but he knows the stigma that seems to be attached to BB competition. I’ve told my husband not to spread it around, cuz alot of ppl just don’t understand that world, they think its weird. There are stranger things in this world and most of them pretty unhealthy.

Your PM’s are full…thought I’d post my questions for you here…THANKS!!
I just read how busy you are in your blog and not able to be here on this site much, but I have a question for ya. I saw that you take (and suggest that WOMEN should take) creatine…I feel like any time I’ve ever tried it, I get incredibly bloated…any suggestions or ideas WHY that happens? Maybe it was the product I was using?? Any advice you have is VERY much appreciated. You have come a long way and your physique is nothing short of SPECTACTULAR…just amazing. You are such an inspiration for ALL women- thanks 
Also, if I can pick your brain….what do you eat??? Hahahaha, I know that your figure is super lean because of what goes on in the kitchen…so I was just wondering what you’re doing in there 
THANK YOU!!!!!! You rock, Fern!
Good afternoon Ms. Fern
