It’s almost here!!!! Time for my triple slam showstopping madness, all crammed into the next four weeks!  It’s gonna be a wild ride!

In one week, BOOM!

2014329In two weeks….Double boom!

2014_northeast.282190345_stdAnd with a week’s break in week three, I’ll be ready for week four with this!!! My final show of the spring season!

419eventI’m hoping to bounce right back after battling this cold for just about a week now.  Between work and training at the gym I caught the sniffles.  From there it got worse.  It also didn’t help that I’d hit my “two week out mental breakdown” at that point also.  The main thing is, that I got through it.  It’s all mental really.  I say it all the time but we get stuck in our own heads and our mind creates their own reality.  I got through the mental part (so far) and am just about ready for my next couple stage appearances.  Organization plays a huge factor in all this.  I put that as my top priority in getting prepared for the next four weeks.  Tans and makeup booked, registration fees paid, federation cards bought….etc. I’ll also be arriving on stage in a new suit and new competition heels!  🙂  BRING IT ON!  I’ve got a daily check list for the next week and I am not backing down from it.  And what’s better motivation yet???? Just found out my first of the three upcoming shows made the bikini division a double PRO QUALIFIER!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! If that doesn’t get you pumped to throw on a rhinestone bikini and five inch heels then I don’t know what will.

So you’re probably wondering where the heck all my awesome photos are from my shoot with Mr. JR Delia right?  Well, the files are on their way to me this week.  I have the sneak previews of course but then I can’t leak them all at once you know!!!!

animalAnnnnd just throwing it out there….this is a photo with my olympic barbell.  It only happens to be standing straight up like a shiny dancing pole.  :-/

Oh and if all prior information accompanied by photos wasn’t cool enough, there’s this!!   Is it me on the cover? No….well, not technically.  Take a look in the upper left hand corner though!!!!!   This issue of Natural bikini comes out April 1st and it contains my bio and an article written by yours truly!!! I’m stoked to have been able to be a contributing editor for this magazine.

It’s showtime people.  Never give up on your dreams or think what you are trying to achieve it too big.  You have to crawl before you can run, and it may seem like it’s all happening so slowly, but as long as you continue on and never give up, big things will happen.  Make them happen!!!

Arnold Classic Boom!!!!

So I just had one of the craziest and most exciting weekend these past couple days!!! For thos of you that don’t know what I was up to, I had the pleasure of attending (for my birthday) the Arnold Classic!!! And I must say, that for any of you who are well into fitness and going to the gym, or even just starting out, the Arnold is an experience you’ll never forget!!  The expo alone came with so many great opportunities to meet and greet not only with my idols but other fitness professionals who are completely willing to talk and offer their advice!! I even passed out my FS stickers to everyone I met and told them my own story! I learned that even though I’m an amateur  at all this and it felt strange to give someone so successful my “sales pitch story” with some business card sticker, that those people were in my exact position at one time.  We all have to start somewhere right?! And I can gladly say tht everyone I spoke with was very considerate and listened to what I had to say (whether or not they were ignoring my words or simply covering it up with “la la la la la” in their heads is another story) And anyways who else can say they gave Cain Velasquez, one of the most dangerous and badass  MMA fighters a cupcake sticker!!!??? 🙂  Honestly, just thinking about that moment in my head makes me giggle and smile.

With that being said…here are some of my favorite pics from the event!!

IMG_20140301_140847So even though I packed all the supplements, bars, and some eats I’d need for the weekend, the amount of free stuff I got was insane!! I literally had two carry on sized bags stuffed to the brim with muscle mags and samples (and there were two of us!!!) Needless to say, we won’t be running out of pw powder anytime soon!!

So my FB page is now in the 270’s!! Next mile marker is 300!!! If you have already liked my page, then I thank you!!! Please be sure to share it with others so tht I may try to inspire and motivate them as well!!  Oh and the shirts were so popular that I will be starting a new order asap so be sure to let me know if you’ll want one this time around!!!    😉
