Im in Amercian Body Plus!!

Hey All! Just thought you would like to check out a little article about me in American Body Plus! Go to www.americanbodyplus.com to check out more articles and fun info!

Also, I saw a great quote today by Lucille Ball!

" One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself"

How appropriate is that?

I Love it!

NEVER SET YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE!!!!! Prove to yourself that you are worth it all and can accomplish whatever your goals!

RESULTS & FUN!

Hi Everyone! This past weekend was my very first NPC Figure competition and it was a BLAST! I was in great company with many of the beautiful girls from the Bombshell team(www.bombshellfitness.com)and I met some wonderful women and made some great friends!

I competed in the NPC Coastal USA's in GA put on by none other than Ropeman. It was a big fantastic show filled with lots of photographers and competitors from everywhere! I was pretty nervous as the competition was very tough...I placed 3rd in Open Figure B class and 1st in the masters class(over age 35)!!!!! I was ecsatic with the results and got some great feedback from judge Linda Wood-Hoyte as to what I need to work on for upcoming comps! SO, I will definately come in better at my next comp making the improvements suggested and working hard!

Reg Bradford, photographer, made me feel like a movie star with all of the photo shoots=) gotta love that!

I just want to thank all of my family and friends for their support and encouragement. It really helps to know that I have the love and support from those around me. It keeps me going on the days when I dont feel like working out..and YES, i have those days. The difference is that even when i dont feel like working out or cooking my food or eating differently than those around me...I still do it! I find the energy from somewhere and "JUST DO IT". That is what Im trying to preach to others....even when you've had a tough day, are tired or for whatever reason ...and there is a million reasons to not do something....you just have to keep on going. It will pay off in the end and help you reach your fitness goals!

Next comp on the calendar is the Ft. Lauderdale cup October 10!

Until then, i will be training harder than ever and you should be too! =)

My DESIRE is Stronger than my DOUBT!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I am currently exactly 6 days away from my first NPC Figure Competition!! YAY! Im nervous and excited all at the same time. I just spent the weekend at the Bombshell Bootcamp in Daytona Beach Fl...it was a booty kickin' bootcamp for sure! It just fueled the fire I have in me to compete and be the best I can be..competition wise..with all of the Bombshell Team's help! I met some wonderful women who are all at different parts of their competition and fitness journeys! It was great and I cant wait to compete with some of them this weekend! I also had the opportunity to shoot some great pics with "musclepapa" aka Rob Rosetti and they turned out fabulous! Thanks Bombshell!

On a serious note, I wanted to say that no matter what your goal in life..your desire to achieve it and be the best you can be HAS to be stronger than the doubts you have or the doubt others try to give.....You have to give it your ALL, 110% everyday, until you reach your goal!!! We all have our doubts and want to give in, give up, question ourselves and wonder why in the heck we are doing this.....these thoughts are only temporary and will pass.....Just keep pushing yourself no matter what! Its all worth it in the end! Nothing good comes easy or without effort. So keep training hard..and remember,

Your DESIRE has to be Stronger than your doubt!

You can do it! ;)

See ya next week with the results of my comp~ or come see me this weekend!
