Well I got back from San Fransisco on Monday and have been buried ever since!  I have been getting the house ready to sell so have been painting etc. everyday from 7:30 til 3am!  They listed it yesterday and had rhew 1st showing last night…there are still some things that need to be finished yp but I’m waiting on the electrician and contractor to finish up!  Hopefully it will be sold soon and I can have my life back!! LOL  The homes in my neighborhood are never on the market for more than two weeks…mine is has more square footage than the others and the only one with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths.

I will be posting my video interview later today….the reason I went to Cali was I was asked to be interviewed for Studioveena.com because they felt I am such an inspiration to women, in particular the women on that site…they wanted to know more about me and how I got in shape *most of then are in their 20’s and 30’s…it was quite an honor…and it was ALL EXPENSES PAID!!!

Well bb friends I hope everyone is still kicking it in the gym…have an awesome day!!  God Bless!!

Here is just a few pics from my house…just for fun!

Well I got over my cold, but now I’m fighting a sinus infection….but back in the gym!  I leave for Cali tomorrow…I’m being flown out there to be interviewed for a video newsletter!!  I’ll blog more when I get back as to what that’s all about.  Bought a condo and I have til next Friday to get my house ready to put on the market…trying to study, go to the gym and write my business plan! SHEESH!!  When it rains it pours! LOL  So That’s what’s been going on in my world lately (just in case anyone was wondering why they haven’t heard much from me lately ha ha).

Hope everyone has had a kick ass week in the gym!  I’ll post when I get back late Monday!

God Bless!!

BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR !   Charlotte, North Carolina.    A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against,  among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.    In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.    The lawyer sued.. and WON !    Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous.
The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company, which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire" and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the cigars lost in the "fires".    NOW FOR THE BEST PART.. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON (Arson is the crime of deliberately and maliciously setting fire to structures or wildland areas.) With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.    This is a true story and was the First Place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

ONLY IN America..!

Well the good news is I will be able to be on a bit more than expected…my schedule will let up a bit in two weeks.  I’m back to full weights now and also back on the pole.Pole Dancing

I have been sooo busy!  My workouts are back on track and I’m pushing even harder now that I’ve gained back most of my strength.  I have had a wonderful friend that has helped me get motivated again…I’m grateful for that!!

I will be in active for awhile due to lack of time to be on the internet.  So please don’t think I’m ignoring you or have no interest in your journeys….I do…I will peek in from time to time and check on you…I just won’t be able to contact everyone personally until my schedule lightens up.  I really need to use my down time to recover.  Thank you to those of you who feel I inspire, because I don’t feel I deserve that kind of honor…but I do appreciate it truly!!

When I come back I will hopefully have a transformed body that I can be proud to share with you!!  Peace

God Bless!!  I love you guys!!!

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
‘Well,’ she said, ‘I think I’ll braid my hair today.’
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
‘H-M-M,’ she said, ‘I think I’ll part my hair down the middle today.’
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
‘Well,’ she said, ‘today I’m going to wear my hair in a pony tail. ‘
So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that there wasn’t a single hair on her head.
‘YAY!’ she exclaimed.
‘I don’t have to fix my hair today!’

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..
Live simply,

Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly,
and pray continually.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…
It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Don’t cry because it’s over,
Smile because it happened.

Be careful with what you cheat with!!  Just thought I’d pass on the latest info for you fast food lovers.

Check out these CRAZY-HIGH-CALORIE new fast foods

Burger King - Steakhouse Burger
950 calories, 59g fat, and 55g carbs!

You may as well have an actual steak if you’re going to consume this many calories! Why is this burger so insanely fatty? Well there’s the 368-calorie, 29-gram-of-fat patty, mayo, two slices of cheese, and a HUGE pile of fried onions… all on a massive doughy bun. NOT WORTH IT.

Carl’s Jr. - The Kentucky Bourbon Six-Dollar Burger
970 calories, 49g fat, and 81g carbs!

You know that annoying ad campaign with the surgeon who thinks about bourbon all day long? Yeah, it’s funny, but the idea of a medical professional (actor or not) chowing down this monster burger makes us cringe a little. A single sandwich with nearly 1,000 calories is soooo wrong. And not in that "so wrong it’s right" kinda way. It’s just wrong.

Jack in the Box - Mini Sirloin Burgers
748 calories, 29g fat, and 77g carbs!

For those of you wandering around singing, "Yippee-ai-ay, Mini Sirloin Burgers!" to yourself, you’re not alone. But DON’T be seduced into chewing on these teeny burger-ettes. Sure, you get three of them, but they’re REALLY little, so you’re probably going to want fries and a soda with ‘em. You’re better off riding into the sunset with a Chicken Fajita Pita (328 calories and 10g fat).

Wendy’s - Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty
540 calories, 20g fat, and 83g carbs!

If the thought of adding coffee syrup to a Wendy’s Frosty is enough to send you into a full-on swoon, brace yourself. And if your dreams are speckled with chocolate-covered toffee bits, prepare to pinch yourself. As good as this all sounds, it comes with a hefty price tag. This shake has more calories than the Triple Stack burger, which has three beef patties and three pieces of cheese. Fantasy OVER.

Taco Bell - Volcano Box
1,380 calories, 76g fat, and 133g carbs!

Why does this box need to exist? Does ANYONE need to eat a meal that consists of a double-beef burrito, two tacos, and a pack of Cinnamon Twists?! Do yourself a favor and stick to the Fresco Menu at The Bell, and don’t consume most of your calories for the day in a single meal!

I have had a really devastating week, I don’t wish to share any details….however I learned a few truths about myself and it was really hard to accept.  I have been in a relationship/marriage for the past 31 years and I ended it…I have had very little social life all these years as I was devoted to my relationship….when I got a taste of freedom I didn’t know how to handle it….kind of like a kid…I did some things that probably weren’t the wisest to do, I made some not so smart choices and it cost me a beautiful friend as well as my self respect….I paid to high a price!  I couldn’t handle anything so I went to see one of the pastors at church, I’m so glad I did…he helped me put things into perspective and helped me see what I was doing to myself…it was very hard for me to admit and a very humbling experience…I have tried to explain to my friend and I did apologize…I don’t know if I’ve been forgiven or not, I do know that I am still trying to forgive myself….life is so hard and painful at times, but I have picked myself up and brushed myself off because I have to keep trying to get it right….everything that life is is a gift…even the hard lessons….and I know from experience that without pain there can be no growth….my biggest problem was that I was trying not to feel the pain, I guess that’s part of being human too.  So now I will work hard at improving myself, not just my body…because what good is a rockin bod if everything else is not healthy?!  God willing I will be healthy enough and ready to compete in 2010!!

8. Laugh every day, it’s like inner jogging.

9. If you worry, you didn’t pray . If you pray,
don’t worry.

10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling
home everyday.

bent out of shape.

12. The most important things in your house are the
people.

14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.

15 He who dies with the most toys is still dead.

Have a great day!!! The SON is shining and he
can certainly use you!
