Even though I’ve been MIA for a while doesn’t mean that I’m not doing what I’m suppose to do in the gym. Truth be told I’m doing all the right things I’m suppose to do in the gym. However, until recently, I wasn’t doing all the right things I’m suppose to do with eating. LOL!!!! Since today marks 3 weeks out and since I sent my money to the NPC promoter yesterday for my next comp, I decided to buckle down today and get serious.

On May the 9th I’ll be competing again in my 6th bodybuilding competition. This is the NPC so I’m not going there with high hopes due to being natural. My next figure competition is in August for the NPC and I have a SNBF comp in July. So as you can see I’m gonna be a very busy bee this year.

I know that I said that I’ll stick to figure ONLY with the NPC but when I really think about it………… I REALLY LIKE COMPETING! I like the entire contest prep journey! The eating, the cardio, the naps, the lifting, the posing practice……..I LIKE IT ALL! So even though I will never be "BIG ENOUGH" to earn a Pro Card in female bodybuilding with the NPC doesn’t mean I can’t have fun trying in vain. LOL!

My life is pretty good right now. I’m back to working full time with my businesses and I’m getting my head back into contest prep mode. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD!

Hope all is well with you all too!

cya!

PS - Thought I come back in here and share this tender moment I had recently with someone on my "friend’s request" list.

Here is what he writes.

Hello…great photo.!!! I train dozens of bodyspace members from all over the world including "XXXXXX" and "XXXXX" from the top 6 profiles. Check out my website, dave*******.com to learn why my clients trust their nutrition and training to me!
Thanks, dave

Now here is my response to that generic message sent to over 100 folks here on bodyspace.
That’s nice and all Dave but frankly I don’t give a damn about your website nor the clients you train. I’m gonna approve this add but let me WARN YOU………..if you come to my profile and spam it promoting your services I will do the following.

1. delete it!
2. Come to your profile and cuss your ass out!
3. Report you to Bodybuilding.com
and finally
4. remove you from my friend’s list.

Got it? Good!

Glad we had this conversation.

*sigh* When will they ever learn?

I take a week off from the gym and when I come back I am out of practice with my routine.

Not only that but I did legs on Monday and I’m STILL WALKING FUNNY TODAY!!!!!! Granted! My body needed that extra time off but damn! Feeling this sore makes me wonder if it was all worth it?

YEAH! IT’S WORTH IT!

LOL

Ok, need your opinion on this one! I’m not going to go into a long entry here because I have to get ready to head to the gym in a few minutes but I wanted to throw this out there because it’s been bothering me all weekend.

Here are the cliff notes.

- played sports in high school and was measured at 6′2"
- played more sports in college and was measured at 6′2.5" I grew 1/2 an inch
- Every year my coaches would ask me if I wanted to put 6′2" on my stat report or 6′3" because telling everyone that I’m six two AND A HALF sound retarded. I picked 6′2"
- After I graduated from college I stopped playing sports so I stopped getting my height measured.
- Two years ago I accompanied a female friend to the doctor for a post breast augmentation  follow up. Her doctor has a height fetish and was fascinated with me. Throughout her visit he INSIST that I was taller than 6′2" and constantly asked if he could measure me. Since telling him "No" was not working I finally gave in and allowed him to measure me. The scale had me  slightly above 75 inches. I was actually 6′3" and not 6′2.5"
- I don’t take the measurement seriously because my friend’s doctor love tall women so I assumed his scale was rigged.
- Entered my first figure competition last month and put my height down as 6′2" and I go down in NPC history as the world’s tallest figure competitor.
- Finished my 4th bodybuilding competition two weeks ago and was approached by someone who’s been following my progress. He too stated that I had to be taller than 6′2" and suggest that I go get measured.
- Last Saturday I asked my Chiropractor to measure me. Two hours after that I went to a sports clinic and got a second opinion. Both scales measured  me at 75.5 inches tall.

Most of my life I’ve become attached to being 6′2". It’s just natural to say it.

random person - "Wow! You’re tall. How tall are you?"

me - "I’m six two"

It’s just second nature to say this. But now I realized that I’m taller than that and my official height is six three and not six two. People have never seen a woman who stands six two let alone six three.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’m a little hesitant claiming my real height. I’m not ashamed. If I had to describe my feelings I would say that I’m a little scared. I’m scared of the unknown. I am use to the reaction of people when I tell them that I’m 6′2" but what should I expect when I say 6′3"?

I know that’s not much difference to others but to me it’s a whole new world.

What do you think?
