Hey BB.com friends!So excited for this weekend. I am headed to Vegas with some girlfriends to go celebrate.It is going to be so much fun.We are celebrating a bachelorette party for a good friend of mine who is getting ready to tie the knot this month.I am really looking forward to having some fun and dancing the weekend away.This is just what we need to divert our attention in this hard economic slump we seem to be stuck in.I plan on being a good girl though…still preparing for my FMI National competition on October 25th….so healthy fare and no alcoholic beverages for me!!wha, whaa!:)I am notorious for having a good time while remaining in a sober state!No problem!!Can’t wait to go blow off some steam..:)Have a wonderful weekend friends!!

I am headed to Tampa, Florida at the end of September. Going to be doing a beach lifestyle photo shoot there.Can’t wait to see Tampa…I have never been there before. I’ve been to Orlando and a brief visit in Tallahasse.I am starting to do more modeling and traveling for work more…that is why I am sometime lax on my bodyspace.This is a new dynamic for me.I am now entering a chapter of balancing my diet and training while traveling.I have read about others and this delicate balance and I plan to follow in their footsteps and stay on task.I luv a challenge and am looking forward to what my future in fitness and fashion holds!!

My next competition which was formerly called America’s Fittest Model has now been changed to the new and improved title of ‘Fitness Model International’. It’s being held in Beverly Hills, California on October 25th at the Wilshire Theatre. This invitational competition is going to be absolutely fantastic.All of the regional winners from each state will be there to win the overall championship.I am really excited about this event and am going to ‘bring it’ that weekend and ‘take no prisoners’!!:)Wish me luck!!!!!AHHHHH!Too much FUN!!!

This Wednesday 9-10-08 I am going to be interviewed live on the Playboy Morning Radio Show on Sirius Satellite. Being interviewed by Andrea Lowell and Kevin Klein and their studio guests that day. It should be  a lot of fun..I know that they are going to ask me some candid and crazy questions.Uh-OH….now everyone gets to find out what a dork I REALLY am.At least I’m a gym-dork right?!? I will always have my peeps here on BB.com-dork or not right!!!

This weekend was absolutely incredible. I competed in a new show for me…America’s Fittest Model.It was created by Clark Bartram and Gary Warren.It was held here in good ‘ol Arizona and it was a wonderful experience.Of coarse I am super excited about my 1ST PLACE WIN!But on a more noteworthy, serious note, this competition was well organized, every athlete was treated respectfully and with importance to their needs.Gary Warren is a class act and I have no doubt that he and Clark are going to be highly respected in the competition industry for many years to come!I loved every minute of this competition and the ‘quality’ of the model athletes was astonishing.I was impressed and proud to be competing amongst the first rate physiques and personalities that were present.I cannot wait to compete in their NATIONALS that I have now qualified for this fall (October 2008) in California.I just wanted to share with you what a beautiful weekend I had!:)

5-31-08  FAME Sin City FITNESS MODEL 3RD PLACE!!

 Two weeks ago I also competed in Fame in now where else but Sin City-Las Vegas baby!I did great and took 3RD PLACE FITNESS MODEL in my class.This competition was really a learning experience for me.I basicly had to ‘unlearn’ my figure competition experience and parlait that into a fitness model catwalk-style composure.Totally different from figure style posing!It was a great experience and an educational for me as well coming out of my 14 month hiatus from competing.I am very proud of my accomplishment and it left me hungry for that first place title!Thank you everybody for your support and love.But especially to my husband and children.Training for two shows back to back was time consuming and delicate to balance!I am so blessed to have such a strong home structure & supportive husband!Yeah for us mommy competitors!

Luvs to you all,

Rebecca

Why the hell does everyone always assume that because you are in shape that it comes "EASY" to me and you?Do they not have the foggiest idea of what it takes to achieve any sort of a fitness goal?The discipline and the planning that you have to do?I get peeved when people always tell me that.As they are devouring processed sugar ladened treats faster than a wood chopper!"It’s easy for you…you can eat whatever you want and not gain weight!" or "I could never be that skinny!" and I luv this one too "I don’t eat all day long and all I eat is dinner!"(and can’t understand why they are gaining bodyfat.)They cannot even begin to understand the concept of clean eating or moderation for that matter.The dedication to the hours of weight training and cardio….blood sweat and tears!It’s work man.Hard work.For some it’s more emotional work…just to aquire the ability and strength to say no to treats, chips and pizza and that’s it’s okay.The mind/body connection is very real and very powerful.But so worth it.The natural endorphin rush you experience from exercising is such a wonderful feeling.The energy you gain, the confidence, and an overall feeling of good health.It’s practical not fanatical!!And much like anything else worth having in this world….working really hard for!!And once they can get over their hangups, they can realize that they are not depriving themselves…they are actually rewarding themselves with good health…mentally and physically.

As you can see I am a little over 8 weeks out right now. My workouts are going strong and I have been staying uber clean on my nutrition. Yeay!!!! And I am feeling really awesome. I am still trying to make a definitive decision as to which categories I will be competing in. The show is the FAME, WNSO in Las Vegas on May 31st! I was planning on competing in their Bikini Model, Fitness Model and Figure categories. Yet as I read the requirements for their figure…I am not sure I will be competing in it. They have the figure competitors perform a lot of ‘bodybuilding’ type poses(double biceps, ab poses, etc)…so needless to say, I am on the fence about it. Not necessarily because of the poses, but because physique wise, their rules read like they will be looking for more of a bodybuilder type.And the pictures of past girls look more on the bodybuilder side-more cut and more striated.Did I spell that right?LOL!So I will keep you posted on what I decide.Either way it’s all good.I am just so happy that I am ‘feeling’ so good right now. I am a big believer that your mind and spirit really has to be connected with your body when an athlete is training for an event.At least that is when I am at my best.Let’s just hope that I can meet my bodyfat and weight goals on time.I definately should have started a bit earlier.But I think I’ll be okay.I am feeling that way right now.I know, I know…I still need to post pictures.I am not talented at taking my own pics..like so many of you.I need my hubby or someone else to do it for me.So when I get the chance, I’ll get too it.But for now my training,nutrition,running my household and your basic wonder woman stuff has been keeping me more than busy!!:)Until next time gangstas…..

Okay, so I am 9 weeks out now. I will weigh myself in the morn to see if I am down even more. I had my bodyfat taken with one of those devices that u hold out in front of you and u squeeze the crap out of it for a minute or so. I definately don’t think it is as accurate as the calipers though. It read that I was at 20%. Which isn’t a big deal right now, but I am going to have it taken the other way this week so that I can have a more accurate reading. I am on a good schedule and my diet is strong!Thank goodness.And I feel really super excited about the competition. I can’t wait until I lean out some more so I can post some pics. It seems like it’s going to be a really fun show and I am really looking forward to the whole rush of a show. I haven’t competed since March ‘07 and I am dying to transform and get the party started.I know….I’m a bigass nerd!!I’ll keep u posted.

It’s been awhile since I wrote last. Since then I finally moved!(Thank you Jesus!) But it has been a roller coaster. My house has and still is having a lot of repairs, things redone, and some things need to be completed. Do I sound flustered???:) Yes, I am thankufl for my new home, blessed to be able to have one and I guess that is all that matters right! And I have to say it’s quite beautiful too. I am also 10 weeks (and 3 days) out from my May show. I am unsure of where my bodyfat is as of right now. But I am down 2 lbs. Probably water. But I’ll take it anyway!:) I am feeling really happy to be training for a competition and happy to be dieting! Hello-what? Happy to be dieting???What is wrong with me?I think I must be sick or something!!I know that some you feel the same way when u know you have a competition coming up and want to look your best to acheive the best. But boy, I have a lot of prepping I need to do. Suits, tanning, jewelry….OH MY!!!:)

Until next time…Luvs,
