Another Christmas has come and gone, Charlie Brown has thrown out his pathetic little tree, and I find myself reflecting on the most important thing about the holiday – the gifts that I did or did not receive. You would think I am still 10 years old with the number of gifts I still receive [...]

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. This is a woman who, a year ago, would have ordered her husband to sleep on the couch if he bought her personal training in place [...]

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. [...]

As time goes by I continue to learn more and more about my body. I never fully understood the way it operated until I started competing and was forced to stick to an extremely regimented diet and exercise program on a daily basis. Very subtle changes to my diet or my exercise routine have a [...]

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 [...]

Well I didn’t bring home the trophy in the Fit Body Contest I competed in over the weekend in Florida, but I did bring home some experience to grow on and some thoughts to chew on. Whether you are a competitor or not, there is always a certain amount of disappointment that comes along with [...]

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.

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, [...]

I am proud to announce that I am a Starbucks Gold Card holder! The day I received my Gold Card in the mail was a very exciting day. My loved ones (my boyfriend) scoffed at my Gold Card out of mere jealousy and tried to claim his alleged “VIP” status at the Vitamin Shoppe was [...]
