A good friend of mine texted me this morning with excitement to share that her husband was going to buy her more personal training sessions as her Christmas present.

Nothing in life comes easy. I’ve learned this through various experiences. When I was 6 I was pretty sure I was going to be a professional tennis player. I was obsessed. By the time I turned 11 I was really burnt out from playing tennis and discovered that turning professional was going to be a [...]

I know I have been completely dropping the ball in keeping this site updated with stimulating new topics, but my motivation level to write has been about as high as a helium balloon with a hole in it. Perhaps this is because I just finished competing in 2 shows, which entailed 15 weeks of dieting. [...]

I was sitting here contemplating a good topic for my next blog when I happened to see a commercial on tv advertising a new weight loss product. It occurred to me that probably the #1 goal for most people at this time of year, as bathing suit season rapidly approaches, is to lose weight. This [...]

Three weeks from today I will be flying to Sacramento to compete in the NPC Sacramento Bodybuilding and Figure Championships. I started getting serious with my diet this show in the beginning of the summer and then started my contest prep diet and training in the beginning of August. Needless to say it’s been a long summer of tilapia, [...]

I love contest prep season. And I hate it. But I hate it in that way that you hate it when your significant other leaves the dirty frying pan on the stove all day. The thing I hate about it is what I love about it. I love having a painstakingly structured diet to follow, [...]

Once a week I am going to post an exercise and let’s call it the “burn factor”, for purposes of avoiding the overused title of “exercise of the week”. And in return, I want you to tell me your “burn factor” for the week. Let’s go over the rules. The exercise has to be one [...]

It’s Sunday. Leg day. I’m riding in the car with Alberto, my boyfriend – my leg trainer – and we’re on our way to the gym. Leg day is the only thing that makes me question my passion for this lifestyle. I dread leg day like I dread the dentist. And leg day happens every [...]
