Before I left for the gym this morning I put my dogs out so they could play before the rain.  Unfortunately the rain came sooner then I thought.  It started raining hard right before I got home.  I hosed down the two boxers before they came in the house, but my newfy needed a full bath (she has a lot of hair).  I was soaked after her bath was finally done, so I just did some cardio in the rain with my dog.  It was a nice change to just run and play for fun, even though I already ran 3 miles an hour before.

Todays workout was good.  It was chest and shoulders, I love going heavy.  I had to run on the treadmill today, but it still felt good. 

Have a great day and remember to take a day and just enjoy your workout, even if it means playing in the rain.  God bless:)

I have a friend at the gym, she is a wonderful lady.  I love talking to her, but I wish she had more respecct for herself.  She is over 300lbs and only looks at her size.  I think she is an incredibly beautiful person, it is what is inside that really matters.  She told me that she has been to several gyms where people would give her dirty looks because of her size.  That broke my heart, why do people think they are so special that they can judge others.  So many people think that you have to look perfect before you go to a gym, but you aren’t going to look fit and toned if you don’t go.  I appluad her for having the courage to come to the gym.  She once said I was her hero, well she is mine.  We need to help people to get excited about getting healthy, not condemn them for not fitting the norm.  To everyone who has ever felt this way, you are worthy to be their regardless of what anyone thinks.  

Hope everyone has a great day.  God bless:) 

I have always been in love with lifting weights.  I have been doing figure competitions for a year and my hope has always been to train people.  I love seeing people get confident and feel good about themselves.  I recently was told by the owner of a gym, the one I wanted to train at, to go talk to them about being a personal trainer their.  I was so excited, but I don’t know if I should.  My kids are 7, 5, and 2 and I wanted to wait till my 2 year old was in school.  I am worried that I will look back and regret not being there, and that they will be upset that I wasn’t there, I always wished my mom was home when I was little.  Financially we could really use the extra money, but I am alright with less as long as my kids have what they need.  Will this kind of chance be here again?  Will there be something better in the future if I wait? 

Have a great day and God bless:)

I have a boxer that was do to have puppies last week, but she didn’t have anything.  The following Tuesday I was getting ready to go to the gym when I realized it looked like she was in labor.  I left her with my husband because I knew this could go on for hours, I gave him strict instructions on what to do!  I had a hard time focusing on my workout, but I couldn’t miss it.  After I got home her water broke but nothing happened, so we rushed her to the vet.  He said that they can still break water even if it is a false pregnancy, who would have known.  So they took an x-ray and saw nothing.  So I took her home and put her on meds.  That poor day walked around crying the rest of the day, wednesday, and thursday.  I have never heard such a heart broken dog.

This morning I got up and started getting ready to go workout and I noticed that she looked horrible.  I have been watching her temp and I was supposed to get her in right away if it was over 103.0 degrees, it was 103.5.  I was very worried for my baby.  My husband said there is something coming out, she was having a puppy, WHAT!  I almost fell over, there was nothing on the x-ray.  I knew it had to be dead for a few days so I helped her deliver it and called the vet as soon as it was out.  The vet wouldn’t be there for a couple of hours, she looked horrible.  I decided to go to the gym and left her with my husband.  Another not so great workout because I was worried about her.  I was really unsure if she would be coming home with me.  We took her in and they gave me shots to give her along with the previous meds and we took her home.

Tonight she looks ten times better and is even eating a little.We are spaying her and she will spend the rest of her life as just our spoiled pet.  She is my baby, she lays on my lap on the coach, I think she might even enjoy being with me more then my husband does.  I wouldn’t know what to do without her.  I thank God that she is okay, at least so far.  We will know more in about a week.  It can only get better from here.  I know this wasn’t really about health or anything, but my dogs are a part of my family and mean alot to me.

Hope everybody has a great weekend.  God bless:)

I am only about a week out from my last competition I had planned for this spring.  Unfortunately I have been very sick all week and there is no way I can look like I need to on stage.  On the positive side I got to eat ice cream, of course it was to help my sore throat, or that is my excuse.  Next week I will be back in the gym working hard to improve for the next competitions.  Have a great day and God bless:)

I have been planning on doing a show May 2, but unfortunately my transmation decided to take a crap on me.  I found myself unable to afford to do the show, so of course I decided to eat a box of donuts (not all to myself, I shared).  This morning the guy who owns the gym I work out at asked how much longer till the show so I explained what happened.  I did my work out as usually, I was excited to go heavy again.  After I finished he came up to me and said he would sponsor me so I could still do the show, I wanted to cry, well maybe not but I was excited.  Now I have to really clean up my diet to make up for those donuts!  I am really excited to do this show and I have to thank Jerry and Repz gym for the sponsorship.

Have a great day and God bless:)

I had my first show of the season yesterday, I felt like I looked much better then last time.  I was very excited, it was a big show.  Many of the girls looked good, but I must say I am confused with the placings.  I recieved 5th, I felt like I did better then that, two of the girls actually jiggled.  The girl that took 4th looked awesome, I thought she had it.  It really is a very subjective sport and I will just work harder for the next time.  I talked to the judges after and got some feed back, they were very helpful and I appreciate that.  This really is the end of the complaining, time to train not whine.

 Have a happy Easter everyone and God bless:)

I am so happy with how I did.  I was the first one on stage, that only makes it harder.  I had to be on stage the whole time, I am so glad I do long practices for posing.  Some people said I should win others said about third or second, but who knows.  Some of the girls looked reaqlly great.  I  am just glad it is over and I can eat pizza tonight, yeah.  I will keep everyone posted on how it turns out.

My first competition this year is only a week and 5 days away.  Of course all the birthdays and my anniversary are during the serious dieting times.  My baby is 2 today so I am making a birthday cake for her, it smells so good.  What the heck, I can’t even lick my fingers.  You don’t realize how natural it is to just lick your fingers till you can’t.  It is hard at these times to remember why I take my diet so seriously, but it really is worth it.  I look and feel better then I ever have and that is good enough for me.

 Today was chest and tri’s.  I have lowered the weights and added reps, I feel so weak at this piont. 

Cake is done gotta go.  God bless:)

I am very excited to see the changes that are coming.  I have put on about 4lbs of muscle and have only about 6lbs to lose for competition time.  I just started dieting this week, but I am keeping cheat meals.  Last time I got a little to lean, this time I want to hold on to my muscle, I have a high metabolism.

I started putting crystals on my suit, and it is looking good.  I hope to get that 1st place this time.  I will be putting up progress pictures soon.  Have a great week and God bless:)
