Starting a competition diet and going on vacation the same week is not the best idea.  Humph.  We spent the week in Palm Springs with my grandparents.  We ate out every meal and I did my best to stick to my plan even if it meant wringing napkins under the table a few times.  I took two […]

Today I’m 12 weeks out from wearing my silly sparkly suit and heels.  I admire the hard work and discipline of all figure competitors, but I can’t help it, I just sort of feel like a goof walking around in a bikini and heels on a stage. Then why in the world am I doing […]

This week (and next) is spring break for my kids and we are going camping with a large group of friends for a few days. I’ll probably be eating things I shouldn’t (I signed up to bring chips…DUMB.) and eating more than I should so to relieve some of the guilt I’m bringing along a […]

Hello friends!  Hope you had a good weekend.  I was sort of down all weekend and couldn’t find one good reason to be depressed.  I didn’t even read or watch any news.  It was just one of those days.  But it’s a new week with new possibilities and that gets me excited.  Now if I could just get […]

If you decide to compete in a figure competition you will need a sparkly figure competition suit or two depending on the federation.  You have a few choices.  The most sane (and pricey) choice is to buy a new custom figure competition suit made just for you.  You can also buy a used suit, rent […]

It’s probably Tuesday for most of you now so Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  Give your hands a workout and pinch lots of people.   Monday was crazy busy for me.  I had a callback for a Sprint commercial I auditioned for last week and we had taekwondo in the evening.  Well for me that’s crazy […]

My gym membership is officially cancelled.  I was sick my last week so I I didn’t even get to use it. Oh well. We scored a fantastic deal on a weight bench, squat rack, and set of olympic weights off of Craigslist.  I’m sooo excited. Ridiculously excited!  Forget about jewelry or shoes…I’m a beast! A […]

Generally I work hard at being a positive person.  Until I get sick.  Last week I got the flu and rather than write whiney posts about how bad I felt I decided to lock myself up in a dark room and feel sorry for myself.  Good times.   I’ve been posting a lot of strength […]

I’m sort of behind in pop culture. Hence a post referring to the Oscars two days after the ceremony instead of one. It’s actually sort of pathetic how little I know about pop culture. I thought Hannah Montana’s hair was really blonde until my son informed me it was a wig.  And this was after […]

Hope you had a good President’s Day weekend.  We went to the snow and I threw about 5000 snowballs and trekked up a hillside carrying an inner tube.  I hope I burned a lot of calories because I consumed a lot of calories. Oooops.  Whenever I could I pretended like I was a some sort […]
