Erase time and open your mind to all that is

Time is a funny thing, it runs our lives....we run around like ants with our anteners buzzing of eachother but never really actually take a moment to acknowledge the true beauty surrounding us, to many of us are either stuck in our past or lost in the future...but the past is dead and future has not happend yet so why do we worry about it so....and get ourself so stressed out about it....Time and Mind is a funny thing....the mind if watched closely always takes you into the past or future imagin… Continue

Next order of business..with Optimum Nutrition conducting a spokesmodel search at our show...my one question is.. "WHERE ARE ALL OF MY MODELS AT??" not that Optimum is necessarily looking for a fitness model, bikini model, or muscle model...it just made me sit and think...and I realized..every show I go to has an abundance of bikini and fitness models..so y… Continue

Its Been A While...

Good evening everyone! Its been a long while since I have written.

The Unofficial Start of my New Year Resolution - To compete in my very first fitness competition

Last year, I toyed with the idea of competing in a fitness competition but like many ideas, I never did get around to it. This year, I've decided to not only actively start the training process but also combine it with last years decision to run the Vancouver Marathon which takes place in May, 2009. I've been quite comitted to working out for years now; however, my comittment to eating nutritiously is not as strong. I've struggled over the years to stick to a good nutritional plan. This year, I… Continue

A little progress in a stressful time....

Well it's been a tough couple of weeks but I'm making some progress. The trouble is the timing of it all. Kids Klub opens at 8:00 am and closes at noon. I would love to go early but my boyfriend doesn't get off work until 4am and we are trying to train together. So in order for us to get a full workout in we have to be up and out the door by 9:30am which isn't happening. We end up doing split shifts so someone is home to watch Taylor and then that takes away from time to do anything else before… Continue
