Hey Everyone~

TGIF!!!!!!!
The weekend is finally here. And what a long week it has been!!!

It is really crappy outside today, cool and rainy~but I can't complain because it has been so dry here. I can't remember a spring as dry as this one. We need the rain bad....

Tomorrow is Elena's husbands show...he looks amazing. He should really do well. A whole bunch of us are going up in the morning to see him~it is nice to have a cheering section when you are onstage...it gives you that extra bit of confidence hearing familiar voices when you go on. There is a whole mentality when you compete in Bodybuilding, when you step onstage. The most obvious thing that comes across is confidence. Confidence in yourself, in the way you look, in the way you present yourself to the judges and the crowd. I remember a few years back sitting in the audience at a show and watching a girl during her posing routine. Every time she turned around, she would put her hands under her glutes. Why??? Becuase she was obviously not confident in how she looked, in her development or her conditioning. And you know what??? If I noticed that, the judges sure did too....So, be prepared, and be confident. And if you do have flaws, draw attention to your stronger points by showing them off. Don't try to cover the weaker points by your hands or something....Don't do something as obvious as that that girl did. Big mistake. But anyway, I am rambling on now....LOL! I tend to do that!!!

I am trying to get my gameplan in my head as far as my training and offseason prep so when it comes time to get down to business and diet down for the Nationals, I am as ready as I can be!!! I want to have a balanced physique~I want to come in rock hard, like I was in 2003 at the USA's. AND I WANT MY PRO-CARD!!!!!

Speaking of Pro-Cards, tomorrow is the NY Pro....I believe that Colette Nelson and Sarah Dunlap are making their Pro-debuts there. I would have loved to see Gina Davis onstage as well but she had injured herself a few months ago and is still recovering. She should be back in no time though....

Well all, I just wanted to drop in and say Hello :~) !!!

Hope you all have a great start to your weekend...I will try to stop in and say hi either Saturday or Sunday, and speaking of Sunday, I am all excited~it is the season finale of my favorite show~Deadwood. And the season finale of 24 is on Monday. Geez....what am I going to watch when they are all over. All of the other shows I watch are off right now too...akkk!!!

But I am going off on a tangent again...
SO...

I leave you with the pics of the day for now. These are from my last photoshoot!


'Till next time,
Keep pumpin' hard!!!
XOXO
