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,

Okay, I decided that my next show will be the WNSO FAME May 31st in Las Vegas. I mentioned in one of my last blogs. It should be quite an experience..to say the least. I look forward to seeing all the talent that FAME attracts. I’ve always wanted to participate in FAME and am totally excited about it. I am not going to lie though…I am a bit scared too. But that adds to the excitement.:) You can never underestimate your competition. I always remind myself that there is always someome younger, someone training harder, someone eating cleaner, someone leaner, someone prettier, etc…. That helps me stay driven, focused and working harder to my goal. Anything worth having is worth working really hard for. That’s what I believe!Thanks for all of your support.I’ll keep you posted on my progress!It’s approximately 23 weeks away…and I know that time is going to fly by!!Without a doubt!

Until next time….Luvs,

I hope this isn’t frowned upon. I just thought that I would go ahead and put it out there. I am an aspiring figure pro and fitness model. I wanted to ask and see if there was any individuals or companies on bb.com willing to sponsor a pro hopeful!:) As we all know competing is not inexpensive. Any and all support would be so helpful in my athletic quest. I would luv any feedback and/or advice. I plan to make 2008 a very exciting year! And I cannot wait to lean down and get the competitions on!:)I luv u all and feel so priveledged to be apart of this family here at bb.com!

Okay, let’s face it.I haven’t been the best at blogging and reporting my w/outs like I said I was going to.So I guess when I feel the need to plug them in I will.But I don’t think anyone really will be dissapointed if I don’t:)!I’ve been getting ready to move.Packing and cleaning..yadda yadda!I am moving at the end of January (couple of weeks) and am so happy to get it over with and get settled in so I can get on a better schedule.I’ve been keeping up my training.But I like to have more control over my schedule on a day to day basis.I decided not to participate in the March show that I talked about before.I wasn’t excited about it all, so I just thought that I should choose a show that I am psyched and more passionate about.So with that in mind, I am planning on participating in the FAME show in May in Las Vegas.I’m sorry, did I say participate?????I meant, I am going to go kick some beautiful butts and bring home a win at the FAME show!:)I am really super excited about it, I’ve always wanted to do FAME and I am hell bent on going and winning!:)I cannot wait.The next 16- 20 weeks are going to fly by and before you know it, it is going to be here.Wish me luck, say a prayer…do whatever you have to bring me some great karma!A sponser wouldn’t hurt either!:)I hope all is well with all of you beautiful people here in bodyspace.
