I’m stressed about my show later this week, but the stress got worse when a good friend of mine found out her husband was having an affair.  They have only been married 5 months to the day when she found out about it.  I guess she has suspected it for awhile and asked him not to workout with her several times, but he couldn’t say no to the girlfriend, who is married with 4 kids.  She is begging me for advice….does she forgive him and move on or does she see this as a window into the rest of her life with him?  I don’t know what to tell her……

I was practicing my whip-cracking skills when I soon learned that I lost all my skills.  I ended up with welts on my butt and a near bleeding ear….hit the back of my head a few times, too!  It wasn’t before long, the light went off and I remembered the technique and ‘crack’!  Sounds like a firecracker when you get it right….

Why am I cracking a whip?  Well, I’m a trainer, don’t we all?  JK!  I am doing an Indiana Jones theme for the Bikini America show in a couple of weeks, so leave it to me to procrastinate and start practicing 2 weeks out!! )

I have a tough time making it to the gym and getting a good workout in when I’m upset about something.  I know being upset fuels alot of people into having a great workout, but I’m the opposite.  I just can’t get focused enough to get into it….I waste my energy on the negative thoughts in my head.  I think I need one of Nancy’s hypnotherapy sessions on days like this…..please, get the funk out!!  I’m in one of those moods today and I hope it passes before its gym time.  I have a competition coming up and I need to focus in the gym.  Maybe that’s part of my "funk"….the fact that I fly out for my show in 2 weeks!  Maybe I should start my diet (I confess- I ate 3 slices of pizza yesterday).  I needed it, though.  I think I look better today…but I don’t feel better???

I just got done going through my daughter’s trick-or-treat bag and its filled with candy made in China.  Some of these treats look more like toys and they expect our kids to eat them?  I know I don’t want my daughter eating toxic-looking paint used to color the candy.  Even Nickelodeon’s Spongebob "Krabby Patties" are made in China.  Why?  Are we not cabable of making these things in the US?  We get our educations so that we can be only capable of importing everything?  My friend was feeding those tained chocolate coins to her kids before she found out about the warning…..

It just makes me wonder what happened to this country……..
