9 days to goo!

9 more days to go till showtime! its been nothing but practice, practice, practice and monitoring my food intake with complete over obsessisiveness, (if thats even a word!) My body is tired, but my mind has been going a million miles a minute. Mentally checking off everything that needs to get done, appointments to make, keeping up on my school work, counting my carbs, did I do that turn right, am I smiling, did I take out the trash, oh shoot I need to make dinner, thinking about dinner Im hungry, I mean really hungry, have I written in my blog yet, what about sending in an article, oh no Im behind!, btw your voicemail is full delete it! and your email is overflowing with unopened emails...this list goes on.... But you all can relate Im sure! This week has been crazy, and im pretty sure its only going to get a little crazier...On top of that I have that overwhelming feeling of, well I dont really even know how to describe it. You know that feeling when you want something so bad your whole body aches for it?? Well thats it, thats how I feel. But baby steps, baby steps is what I need to keep telling myself- one step at a time I will climb that ladder. Wish me luck!

im back!

Seems to be that Ive been a bit of a slacker when it comes to keeping up with this blog! But its time to get back on track, so let me back-track a bit, and fill you in on whats been going on!
Event recap:
In April I placed second in the Bikini Short Division at the Stingrey Classic here in Hawaii: amazing experience with wonderful people, and my first top 5 placing!!! Annd also the first time I didnt look like a complete 'deer in headlights' and shaking from stage fright on stage...guess 3rd time really is a charm! lol Next up on the roster, guess who passed their AFAA Group Exercise test- ME!!! SOO PUMPED!! Now I just need to get CPR certified- hopefully that wont take me another 3 years...Next up, THANKYOU USMC for granting spouses $6,000.00 to start a new career! Thanks to this grant I am now studying for my Masters Training License through ISSA. I can't wait to begin my new career, and put all this studying to work! Upcoming, June 19th I have another show here in Hawaii, and will be competing in Bikini again- I got my sparkly suit in the mail from the wonderful Amy (Suits by Amy) and its gorgeous!!! I can't wait to wear it, and for round 2 I have a little cheetah number to wear:P As far as the fitness life goes that pretty much somes up the biggies! Been working hard and enjoying my new workouts, and cooking up a storm with some new great recipes from Oxygen (OMG try the egg white pizza from this months issue of Oxygen, its A-MA-ZING!) Personally, I'm feeling great- I LOVE being home more, and being able to focus on whats really important (being with my hubby and focusing on my journey to a new career and life). And thats about it in a nutshell!
Today Im leaving you one of my favorite quotes from the classic Legally Blonde:
"I just don't think Brooke could have done this. Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't."

So true! So go do something active today, and be happy!!!
