Well, in less than 2 days I will be on a plane leaving for Columbus for the first ever NPC Arnold Figure Competition. It is hard to believe that after all of this dieting and training that the time has finally come. I am very excited to get out there and have some fun and show off my NEW 2007 hot bod!!!! (hahaha aren’t we humble?) And I have been emailing and texting some of my fellow competitors so it will be great to see them in person, some just meeting for the first time. I have really enjoyed my preparations and training for this show, and I could not have asked for a better experience. So, if you don’t hear from me for a while, it is because I am packing, tanning, posing, training, looking for a winter coat (hahaha) good luck in California finding a coat warm enough for the Ohio weather. I will try to post on my boyfriends phone the results once I have them, we will see if his phone will accomodate, not sure if they will be showing on bodybuilding.com the amateur, but they are showing the pros I believe, we will be going onstage at the Veterans Memorial at the same time as the pros figure prejudging at the expo, so not sure how coverage will work but check their web site to see if they will have vid of it. Thank you everyone for your great emails, well wishes and wonderful support and encouragement. I always say, you lite the fire under my behind, and that is a wonderful thing to have. (needed to burn some fat off anyway) well, off to Columbus, we will see if I create an opp to post again tomorrow, if not, I will have plenty of pics when I return. Have a wonderful week.

OK, only one more week till I leave for Columbus for the Arnold Classic and to compete at the Arnold Amateur.  I just orded my protan and DreamTan last night here on Bodybuilding.com can you believe that today is was aleady shipped out? Can you say freaking fast.  I had to get a T-shirt too, cuz God knows I am going to make a mess of all my clothes.  I wanted to get one of those baby T’s but I was not sure if I wanted a large or extra large, so rather than blog my brain downw with all these details,  I opted for the regular black t-shirt. No-one will see Dream Tan on a black tshirt right? Well, hope not anyway.

At anyrate if you are wondering where I have been the last week and a half or so, I have been at the gym, no time to post, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much cardio for my liking.  Now I know I have my music and I am pretty good at entertaining myself, but seriously it is getting pretty boring.  I really miss my long hard heavy weigth training workouts. That is the most fun, but it is a process and at a week to go, we are at the high rep cardio crazy stage, it is what it is. Well, I hope you are having a great day and did not miss me too much.  Gotta go, you guess it…. off to cardio.

WOW! What a wonderful workshop yesterday.  My energy is still at level 150.  Thank you so much to all who came out.  Words cannot describe the energy we created in that room.  We had a great time didin’t we ladies?? I am very grateful to Sylviane Chapoulaud also for allowing us the use of her gorgeous brand new facility Club Sportif and Spa, it was the perfect setting and a perfect day. Thank you for inspring me ladies.  OK, now on to the pics:

Thank you Ian from Bodybuidling.com for making the trip out and also for providing us with some freebies, everyone loves freebies and Ian did not dissapoint, let me just say that.

Have you ever seen someone so excited about getting a free towel???? It is like it is the only one I have or something, hey Ian can you send me 10 more, you know I DO workout twice a day.  (hahaha) It was a great time.  I am still flying high.

Three weeks to go today and I will be on stage at the Arnold.  I am getting very excited.  I got a lot of bead work done on my one piece on Wednesday, about 8 hours worth of work, my I don’t know how those suit designers do it. It takes me weeks to stone just one suit.  Well, much of my work was not really by choice, I was feeling really funky on Wendesday morning, and I had no idea why, started to have some flu like symptoms, dizzy, and I just felt funny, I kept thinking, I don’t feel sick, but I feel funny, I started running the gammut in my head of my water intake, I ran out of crystal light, which as many of you know will encourage you to drink a gallon a day no problem.  My copious amounts of cardio, and coffee, and less fluids, my lips where dry and brittle, aha, I was dehydrated, I was slowly doing over time, over the past week, not drinking as much, it was just not as fun without the flavor, but I was not paying attention.  Well it took all day Wedensday of massive fluids to get my levels back up and part of the day yesterday too.  I am feeling much better today and probably actually needed the rest from the gym too.  Moral of the story, make sure you drink your water.  Coffee is not water.  So I will be back in the gym today, and my body feels energized and refreshed. Should be a great day today.  I am excited to see what the day has in store for me. 

OK, so it is 10:30 at night, I am sitting at home in my slippers and drinking coffee. What is wrong with this picture?  Seems like something I should have been doing this morning. Just trying to muster up that little bit of extra umph to go for my second round at the gym. Today was legs, I gave them a beating, they were bad. No, no way they were good, and they deserve to be worked to aspire to their full potential as legs.  This is our God given right, to evolve our legs. (hahaha) who am I? I don’t know but I am amusing myself, that is really all that matters. (to me)  OK, I think that pep talked worked, here I go back to the gym for more.  

Hope your day was great, and you don’t have to go back to the gym.  The countdown continues, 3 more weeks till the Arnold, getting psyched.

Wow! I have a half day off today, what will I do with all this extra time? Only one workout and no weights, only cardio. My goodness, this is way to easy.

I am so excited, I just locked in the dates and got the good word about the spring series. In addition to the February posing workshop being only one week away, on February 10th, I have also added a spring series, dates are:

March 10th
April 21st

These are perfect for ladies entering the Max Muscle Naturals, Orange County Muscle Classic as well as the Cals, because these workshops are one week before each of those shows.

On the competition front, training is going well, steady smooth and effortless, at this time anyway.  No complaints and I don’t feel hungry or tired.  Gotta love that diet huh? Seems like I am on schedule I will have more new soon.
