This weekend  in Las Vegas was just great. I had a great time at the expo before the show and meeting some great people.

The highlight I must say was meeting Kassandre who is on my "most inspiring" list! I couldn’t believe it! Of all the thousands there, I literally ran right into her.

She is very sweet and looks amazing! I only wished I’d brought my Oxygen magazine for her to sign! LOL…I feel even MORE inspired after this weekend. Well, I need to go there alll my "loot" from the expo and take some gifts to my friends who couldn’t make it…I’m so stoked!!!

The Arnold next???

This event always motivates me and builds my confidence in fitness. I’m even thinking about going to the Arnold next year…hmmm, I hope I can swing it! Anywho, I’ll start with Vegas and go from there!

Today was a down…took some progress pics and I have to say, I have so much work to do to get to where I want to be. It’s frustrating! I’m feeling mad but know it’s becuz I slacked off, now I’m hoping to get back to the shape I was in a few years ago when I was really able to focus on myself. Taking time off from fitness and the gym has been hard but I know it couldn’t be helped…my mom needed my help in order to recover, (which she has wonderfully thank God).

I really vented today, got mad and took it out in the gym. Tomorrow I’ll do a more intense cardio session and work a new eating plan. I am determined to reclaim this body!!! I’m not stopping now! 

I swear…sometimes I don’t even take the advice I give to my training clients. I am so impatient when it comes to seeing progress when I start a new workout routine.

Training with my friend Matt, (who I ask to have no mercy on me!), has just been going for 2 weeks and even with a broken toe, I know I’m doing well. Patience, he tells me…patience, I tell myself, but I still want to see results right now! I know better but when I finally see my strength getting back to where it was and see my hard work paying off, well, I guess then I can say ok…you did it! NOT!!! I will only push myself to want more LOL I always do. It’s the nature of the workout beast…it’s the obsession…it’s all good

Wow…tonight I have a date with a tub of warm water and epsom salts. This body has been though the ringer this week and man, can I ever feel it!!!

But come Monday, I’ll do it all again because…it’s an obsession; a passion; a love. I have a love-hate relationship with abs, a twisted love affair with leg day…(hurts so good!) but because I refuse to "age gracefully" and to look like a "typical" person my age, I’ll keep on keepin’ on in the gym, eating clean and help others to set goals to live a healthy lifestyle too.

Today I did a thorough reassessment of my fitness goals. Now that my mom is better, and summer school is winding down, I know I have to find something extra…something deep down to push myself to realize my goals. I have a great new trainer who is helping me, insprational friends here on BB.com and plenty of self will. Now comes the putting into motion and action what I want…what I desire…which is a body of my dreams. No worries about the age thing, (is it too late? Can I do this?). I know I can and will and no excuses will get in the way.

Failure is not an option…It’s the obsession!!!

Well the Olympia will be here in 2 short months…and I will be ready! No, I’m not competing, but I always get pumped up to attend the show! I’m starting with a new trainer, (finally!) after months of searching.

I hope this will be a good match =) I am ordering my new supp’s and getting ready for the routine…whatever it takes to get there! Game, set, match!!! ( a little homage to Wimbeldon

It’s time to put up…I need to kick my workouts and diet into high gear. I really want to see just how far I can take this body of mine and I know it’s gonna take much more discipline and dedication to get to the goal…(and I will!)

Got my supps, got a nutrition set, got my exercise plan…so now what’s left? Ready…Set…GO!!!!

I love this site…Awesome people with awesome transformations and always encouragement which even us trainers need from time to time.

Keep doing what you do…stay focused, stay strong, stay positive!!!
