Its so far a nice day. I feel lighter today in weight, not skinny but lighter. I can't really describe the feeling. Its like a layer was shed from my body lol. Due to my recent cardio explosion my metabolism is sky rocketing, which has a lot to do with my light feeling :). I've also noticed that my lean muscle mass has increased too. I will do an assement at the end of the week and see exactly where I stand with some measurements.

Its been a long time since I talked to my latin diva friend. She is an absolute sweetheart. I remember the first time I met her how we immediatly clicked due to the fact we aren't local Terre Hautians and we love our country boys lol. Her husband is a great guy two and for them it was instant love at first site. :) It was nice talking to her again.

I have some chicken waiting for me in the kitchen and a side of sweet potatoes. I figured I would blog real quick and scope out a few things. I can't believe its only Teusday. Feels like a Friday. I swear I'm experiencing de ja vu again *smille. I had to do a double take lol

Be back later.

I wonder

I spent a good amount of time, roughly about 30 mins looking for a parking at the college today. I can be patient but there's a time limit for my patience. I thought of Mr. Bean when he wanted to get a parking space and what he would do LOL. I would have made my own parking space. I thought it would be fine around 12 being that some students would be done with morning class. I was wrong. Hopefully won't have this problem tomorrow. Today was an off day from training but I still had a cardio session to do. I don't get off that easy. Remember from my previous blog I'm more determined than ever.


Leo is feeling sick and had me a little concerned earlier today as he wasn't his normal self. I had to watch his bathroom habits as I need to make sure he doesn't soil my clothes again. I gave him some cold medicine which should make him feel better. I caught him off guard in this picture. Look he's roaring for the camera LOL. He's probably telling me to fudge off

and then theres 32 lb mini BunnyPookie was moody, so I didn't want to push her buttons any further.

I enjoyed Idol tonight .I got a kick out of monkey boy or whatever he was and transformer guy. I couldn't stop laughing at transformer guy. His singing was crappy but the fact that he made the costume out of a power wheels mustang was pretty cool. Here is the video
Tosh.0 was pretty funny tonight too. The stuff he finds is hilarious. You know I love my sarcastic comedy. I'm looking forward to seeing the romantic comedy "just go with it" and the action comedy Big Momma. Looks pretty good another one that looks good too is the Unknown.

It's a short blog unlike yesterday's novel. I'm trying to update my blog at least 2 times a day. It's really amazing the amount of traffic I have from all over the world. Places I never even knew existed. I can't seem to shake something off my mind especially after all this time. I need to take on more activities :). Hopefully in the next coming weeks, I can be in a more tropical environment surrounded by close friend(s). No, its not a bad thing thats on my mind, there 's nothing I can do about it lol. Its out of my reach. But I sometimes wonder and wish things were different. Some of you look too much into my post, so don't always think the worst as its not. Och, its late, time for bed as I have to be up in a few hours. Its going to be COLD tomorrow here in Terre Haute. Bundle up.

If I ever do a training video. I want Bear Grylls to be the narrator LOL

Till tomorrow

Keep the Faith

Give me a few really good songs and I will be rocking that cardio machine which I did earlier today. I love breaking a good sweat and burning off a few calories. I will be going back to the gym tonight doing a chest workout adding in some old school training methods from back in the day. I'll be the first to admit I'm not much of a bencher as much as I'm a deadlifter. I never was, but it is the number one question I always get asked "How much do you bench?" I guess benching just didn't grow on me as deadlifting and squatting did. I got pretty strong though. Isabelle can't go down without a fight. I've been a competitive person since I was born from my momma's womb lol. But benching is not the same feeling or rush I get when I train for deadlifting. I wanted to add weight for my bench but wasn't going crazy about it as I heard horror stories of benching gone wrong. There I go rambling on and on.

Comedian and actor Jeff Dunham will be in Fort Wayne in a few days. I like his comedy and my favorite puppets are Peanut and Walter. Achmed scares me but he's funny. maybe next time I can catch him when he is a little closer to me :)

Here's my Iphone story. I finally played with it today. I went to Verizon last night and they couldn't help me with the phone as I had to bring my own Iphone cord which I didn't know. They told me to come back tomorrow (today) and they would snyc it etc. I went back and they still could not help me. Just to back up my pictures to the Iphone would cost me 20 bucks but there was a 12% chance as the guy explained to me that my Iphone would fry in the process and they would not be held responsible lol. No thanks....It turns out Apple does not want Verizon to touch or troubleshoot the phone at all. I think they were telling me if you call Apple support its 20 bucks a pop for technical support. Steve Jobs is a genius..lol. The phone comes with a hefty price tag. Iphone is a nice phone and when compared to the Droid X it is very similar and the android phone is a lot more application friendly and has some pretty cool features that would cost you a couple bucks extra with an Iphone.

I don't know if some of you ever watch Spike tv, but you got to watch 1000 ways to die. It can be a bit disturbing to watch but its quite comical and educational at the same time. I really like catchy endings at the end of each story.

A old friend of mine made an observation today that is very true and I want to reiterate that I am determined more than ever. You have to be, and I will take no prisoners. This applies to anything or adventure I might add, that I partake in my life. Some people expect things to just fall on their laps. It doesn't work like that. You got to put in the time, effort and hard work.

Quick note. So many people have been talking about this being the last year for female bodybuilding and that the Women's Physique WP is going to take that place. I support the NPC and IFBB in whatever they decide to do with this. Plain and simple. I have always been an athlete and played many sports such as softball, track, basketball(I sucked at it as I can't dribble for the life of me), soccer of course and a few other sports. When I injured my knee years ago, it crushed me a lot as I lost my chances of fulfilling my dream of becoming a professional soccer player which I had a very good chance. I was that good. I remember back in the 1994 Orlando was one of the lucky 9 cities around the country to host the world cup. OMG it was my highlight. My mother bought us tickets to the game and at the time, she was pregnant with Erica. I remember that well. We had fun, that day and boy there were a lot of drunks at the Citrus Bowl lol. Going back to my point. Yes I had a knee injury, but I wasn't going to throw in the bag, and call it a night. I refused too. I still had that itch for a competition. No matter what I did in my life I always wanted to be the best at it and top of the class. I accidentally came across bb and you know my story from there. I'm a professional bodybuilder and earned what I had dreamed of when I started the sport years ago. I'm still going to be an athlete no matter the outcome is. I took a direction in bodybuilding and worked towards a goal as I noticed it was hard to achieve and it heighten my interest even more. I invested my time into the sport and made the best of it no matter what was thrown at me. I will always be a bodybuilder at heart as it changed my life for the best and introduced me to people who made deep impact on my life and I'll never forget them. I'm honored and very blessed to be a part of the league as they have welcomed me with open arms. I'm also happy to view it from a judging stand point as well as that too is a honor for me. Bottom line is there are always going to be a few bumps and obstacles to overcome in life. I am here for my sisters of steel no matter what, through the good , the bad and the ugly. What we must not forget is that in times like these we need to stick together, support one another, and make the best of it. Female bodybuilding has come a long way, and I will always respect it. I train, I diet, and always will till I honestly can't anymore. People like Jack LaLanne gave a lot of people, young and old hope including yours truly. He was the fittest man alive :). This year is going to be a challenging year for many, and we absolutely need to make the best of it on all levels Amatuer or Pro

Keep the faith, keep your chin up

I also have some great news to share which I will do when I have a secured confirmation

Stay classy

I promised

It was a blah evening and seemed pretty quiet for a Monday in Terre Haute. I picked up my salmon and also a couple of fillet Mignons from Baselers. I didn't need anything esle. You know we all can be a little guilty of going tot he store and buying more then we intended. Never go to a grocery store hungry :)

Going to make some egg whites and call it a night as I have to train in the morning.

As I promised. These shots were taken in downtown Orlando. I always liked having fun with taking photos and being creative. Here are a few from that shoot

Enjoy.


This is one of my favorite pictures.


I have a thing for flipping my hair lol



The End
Nighty night ..till tomorrow............
