Well, I’ve got some sponsorship opportunities in the works and if that actually manifests into real support, I will be competing on stage in May or June. I’m more than willing to train cuz I’m already doing that…, the issue is finances and DIETING, I needed an extra boost, something to motivate me to stick to a strict diet. Knowing that someone else is financially involved is just what I need. It’s also a great bonus to go into the summer swimsuit season looking lean & fit.

So, while I’m waiting for logistics to work out, I’ve already upped my cardio time and I’m slowly breaking some of the bad dietary habbits I’ve allowed myself to slip into since my final competition last summer. 

Well, so much for my gladiator dream. I stood outside in NYC for 7hrs and never got inside to tryout. I’m not angry, just disappointed. I should have known that people would sleep/camp out in line several hours before the doors opened. At least when I stood in line for the Price is Right, I was in LA, and I actually got to sit through a live taping. I didnt expect to be chosen to be a contender, I just wanted to show my stuff.

Oh well.

Well, I’ll find out this Saturday if I still have any speed & quickness left from my track & field days. Although I am nowhere near my career 1Rep Max’ in anything, I’m pretty confidient about my strength & power going into these Am Gladiator tryouts this weekend. Even if I was chosen I’m not sure that I’d get the time off to do it, but the competitor in me wants to at least try. So try I will. I just wanna have some fun and see where my athletic & fitness skills test out at.

Otherwise, all else is going fairly well. I’m going about things one day at a time. I still feel a bit "lost", but it’s a challenge to see where my life will take me next. I’m content with my career path at the moment, I just never imagined I’d be "back to square one" in every other area of my life. Oh well, there are much worse situations in life to be in.
