Strength for the Soul

I worked out with WNBF Pro Rich Lauro on Friday.  The reason was that I was trying to get a handle on his dieting strategies and mindsets to see if they matched mine for contest prep.  They did.  While we were talking, I decided he will be the one to help me with my prep, and we also picked a date for my show!  I will actually probably do at least two shows, the second one being my main goal.  The second show will be the Natural Buckeye Classic, on April 25th, in Columbus OH!  Everyone mark that date down!  I will be there, and I will be RRRIIIIPPPPED!  Its a INBF show, so if anyone else is going to be there, let me know!! 

Got some new straps the other day.  After breaking them in and making sure I like them,  I found myself a sharpie and started to write on them.  First one got my favorite verse: Psalm 18.  I love it because it talks about how the strength we have in the gym doesn’t come from ourselves, but from God.  The other strap got something a little more down to earth: "If somebody beats me, it’s not because they outworked me"  I like these two in combo together cuz to me it shows that God gives the strength, and I’m willing to put the gift that God has given to good use!

 In other news, I paid my acceptance fee for my spot in optometry school yesterday.  next big step towards my OD down.  coming up: trying to prove my residency!
