Sewing!!!

So on my down time away from work, diet, and the gym I have been decorating my office. I have been in the process of sewing new drapes, organizing the furniture, and hanging up all the pictures and decor. One of my favorite hobbies has always been interior design! Got to love HGTV:) I am for sure the queen of type A personalities. I always have to be busy or on the move or I'll go crazy! Well any who back to work and preparation for the contest!

I wanted to post this because it is one of my favorite quotes of all time-
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Another fantastic weekend

It's Sunday night and I am feeling quite accomplished :) I love getting stuff done!! All the laundry, grocery shopping, and cleaning!! Went out with friends on Friday night and out with family on Saturday night!! Today I got the entire office put together, decorated, AND I even sewed my own drapery!! Sweet!! Looking forward to what this next week will bring!!

Vegas Baby

Well it looks like I will be preparing for the USA's in Vegas at the end of July! I am pumped, I love competing! I love setting new goals and challenging myself. Whenever I achieve a goal I know that it is not the end. In fact that is only the beginning! Time to create a new goal! Life is like a mountain and for me there is only one way to go, up! So hopefully I can bring the judges what they want this time and come in with the right look and condition. Last time they seemed to like brunettes...... bummer! So maybe this time blond's will be in:) Hey and if they don't pick me then Ill be back again and again. Life is all about endurance and persistence! Not about who can push the most but who can take the most and keep on pushing!!! Any who with that being said it's time to get back to training and eating clean! :)

Very soon I will have custom training and nutrition for sale along with a build your own bikini option!! Also be looking for autographed photos, posters, and calenders etc....!!!! Stay tuned!!!!

Getting Back

We are back from Chicago at the Jr Nationals! Where I placed 3rd in the bikini division:) Ya I am so excited! Well of course you always want first but Ill just have to keep plugging away! Speaking of that, I took only a day and a half to have a few cheats here and there and now its back to work! Cardio, Training, and some healthy dieting!
