Happy New Year!

Dear Fans,

I must admit that the holidays have gotten me all spinning around. I hate not being on a schedule. Being bad on the diet for me means not eating enough, I had 2 meals yesterday and @ 2:15 I'm working on my 2Nd meal of this day. I'm definitely not going to grow eating like that. It's so much easier when I'm at work and everything is repetitive. I don't plan to go out tonight. I've spent the past 2 weekends getting everything cleaned up from the Olympia and the Nationals. I plan to go to the gym and get quads in before they close. I'm going to jam out tonight and finish up all my affairs, so I can start the new year off clean. I need to work on my thank you cards, send out my promoter packages to the shows I will be at this year, and OMG all this tax stuff for the business drives me crazy. I've really got myself stretched this year... my first year as a Professional Bodybuilder which starting in March has me traveling every month. I don't think I will schedule anymore guest posings this year. I'm already freaking about preparing for the 4 I have scheduled. I have a great feeling about 2007 for me. I'm going to do my best to make everything come together and make this my best year yet...as a bodybuilder and Chiropractor. I hope all of you are safe and have realized what things in your life need to improve to make 2007 the best for you too.

PS- thank you to my members and independent sponsors that have helped me with my show prep and wardrobe.

Dear Fans,

Well here it is the day before Christmas. I feel like it's Florida here; very warm and sunny. Nice weather.. but no snow on the ground. Last night I hung out with my neighbors. We had a progressive appetizer party where each house made an appetizer and we went from house to house. It was a lot of fun. My neighbors are great. Tonight I plan to go on her biceps cam @ 10pm central time and be "Sexy Santa". Hope you can come and watch, if not my "sexy Santa' gallery and video is up on the site so you can see me there, although I Will have on a different outfit than the one in the video. I'm going to wear my outfit from last year because it doesn't cover to much of my BIG MUSCLES! Becky wants me to go to the University Club for Christmas dinner. That place is awesome. It's where the wealthy go!! Thanksgiving they had a great spread... I can only imagine what an evening dinner will bring. I'm sure it will be decorated and piano playing Xmas songs. I have some patients that want me to come over Christmas day... so I will hang with them and their family. I decided not to go out on New Year's. Becky wanted to go out to the Ritz originally, but I think I need to stay home and prepare for an explosive year. Oh, so for my appetizer I made Chicken burrito pizza, yummy, pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing, and gooey chocolate chip Brownies. Everything turned out great!! I still have it in me..lol... cooking that is.. other than my typical diet food I eat everyday. I'm still able to cook things other than eggs and chicken.,. I just choose not to. I'm heading up to the mall where Cassie works....AUGH... the mall. She is from Illinois and will be going to see her family on Monday. I could avoid the mall and give her the bonus tomorrow, but she did just call and said that she is short meals... she didn't no she had to work til 11. So I guess I'll pack her something up and battle the traffic. She would do it for me. I just started thinking about the year I have planned already ... I'm going to be busy. I'll be going to the Arnold Classic in March and then it takes off from there. I'll put together a calender of events for JC and we'll get it on the site. Hopefully I'll be guest posing in and area near you. Thank you, to all for, your kind greetings and blessings. I wish you and your loved ones a great holiday season and wonderful New Year!

Dear Fans,

It's yet another beautiful day in Missouri. The sun is out, it's been rather warm and the ice is melting away. It's just clean and crisp. My weekend was spent in seminars which was ok. I got to see some of my colleagues. there is nothing like the comfort of familiarity. Being close to the College, I'm able to have a great professional support system, and is one reason why I stayed here to practice. My training is going well. I'm up to 160 now, so I can't see me not hitting 165 by the Arnold. Saturday is Becky's Christmas party.. We're going to have a blast. I will post a Sexy Santa sneak preview of my outfit. Jc should have the sexy Santa gallery up shortly. I will be spending another weekend in seminars. I'm looking forward to this one. Hopefully I will learn something new. It's hard to learn when you know it all...lol! I will be going over lower body analysis and gait which are 2 major things I teach in my office. I hope you all are safe getting around town in the mad rush for last minute shoppers. Let me know what you think of Santa.

Home From Cali!

Dear Fans,
It's such a beautiful morning; I just had to get my coffee and write in my blog. The sunrise was amazing.. it was this electric peach color with a snowy background. Remember... Florida girl!!! I've never experienced this before. I've been spared the past few winters, but it's for sure this year. Thurs. this rain came and then it got really cold and after that came the snow.. on Friday the day I was suppose to leave to see Charles. I thought for sure the road people would be out getting the roads ready for morning rush hour... NOT!!! I left my house @ 530 to make a 705 flight. I was so nervous.. there was like 12 inches of snow on the interstate. I can't see shit in the dark, who can right, and to top it off everything was blanketed with white so everything look the same. People were sliding all over. It was like watching bumper cars. We had to give each other sliding room! So, I got cruising in the wrong direction ,and didn't realize it until i crossed this big bridge I've never seen before. I had to try to get my self turned into the right direction.. now I'm running late for my flight to see "The Man". I was now stuck on roads that were just covered with snow. I got stuck trying to get make on the interstate. A road assist guy was there thank god because he pushed me back on the highway, and off I went it reminded me of when Nemo got shot out of the filter!! ..lol I got to the airport and thought for sure I missed my flight so re booked for a later time and went back home. All the flights were delayed, but no one told me or I could have just gone to the gate and waited...anyway I was meant for this to happen because I got to see something amazing about this weather. On my way back to the airport, the sun was coming out so you could really see what all had happened over night. OMG!!! White all over. I finally realized what we are trying to simulate when we put lights on the Christmas tree. The branches are all bare and covered with ice not snow. They trees looked crystalline. The sun was beaming on them and they were glistening with beauty. It looked as if they were covered with lights. I finally made the connection. It may sound weird but each year I learn more about the seasons, and that is a big reason why I stay here and don't go back to the heat, brown and green Florida! So I made it to Cali 1130pm instead of 915am but made it. The airports closed down after they got us out. I had a wonderful time there. I couldn't spend any time on the beach, because we had a lot of business to take care of, and I missed 2 training sessions on Friday. I got a lot of alone time, which I like being alone, and the rest of my time was occupied by Charles. He's becoming more comfortable me I can tell because he's not trying to be nice about it when I do the form wrong on particular exercises. He's like " No girl what the hell are you doing.. listen to me" I would just start laughing just because I get to see his personality, not that he hides it, it just us getting to know each other better! He kicked my ass as usual. We were able to sit down and plan out a lot of things for the year. We both feel this is going to be a great year for me. I just have to train hard and stay injury free.

I'm back hard at work. I now have to work my ass off for my next bodybuilding adventure which will be the Arnold. I will bring Cassie with me, so I want to work extra hard so we can have a GREAT time!! The next 2 weekends are going to be spend in seminars here at the Logan College. I have to renew my license this year for Chiropractic. Other than that everything is the same...wake up everyday and do the best I Can for myself and others. That's all I can do!! I hope all of you are enjoying the season, and not driving yourselves crazy trying to put yourself in the poor house buying people things they don't need! I do have a birthday party to go to at the Ritz on Sat. It's for one of the people that was a big sponsor this bodybuilding season. Becky is going ..I may depending on when I get out of class. Becky's work Christmas party is DEC 16Th. I have a Santa outfit to wear. Sexy Santa! Last year the whole place got quite when I walked in with a Sexy Santa outfit. Of course I have a new and different one. Becky loves it... she's always like "Dress Sexy" She loves the shock factor of everyone. Remember she is a shock factor herself... she has these cheesy commercials of her floating over the arch on a carpet... she owns like 8 carpet and tile stores in Missouri. Everyone knows " The Queen of Carpets". Jc my web master took some AWESOME shots of Sexy Santa and others so look out for the new galleries. I try to do a seasonal gallery so the Christmas one will be up soon! Check it out! Love you all!

Dear Fans,

Well the weather is settling in here in the good STL. I'm still amazed with the changes that happen here. We had a wonderful fall. the colors were amazing. You can see my fall shoot in the gallery of my website www.drdenawesterfield.com. Anyway... I leave tomorrow early morning for California where I will hang with the Trainer of Champions.. Charles Glass. I love it and will be SO pumped to get large and in charge by the Arnold!I was prepared to leave the house early this am to get across town where I have clients to meet. This slushy goo is coming out of the sky. Now being from Florida and all, I'm not the best yet in these conditions. I thought I would be brave and attempt to challenge the interstate. I got about 2 blocks from the gym and chickened out. I figured it wasn't worth me sitting in the hospital to try to battle the weather. So here I am at home which is great because i still have to pack and cook for my trip. I plan to take my time cleaning and cooking until I see patients this afternoon. I'll be in touch with y'all when I get in from my trip. I would like to that all the members on my site for your support, it's your membership that makes me able to go to California to train with the best.

Dear Fans,
Well Becky and I had a great night out on Wednesday, but we were without camera. The limo dropped us off and we made quite the entrance. We Had a warm crowd response. I never even saw the rink. We just walk around the venue and met with fans and took pictures. We met up with some cop friends; they hopped in the limo with us and we took off to this place Maggi O's. The place was huge, and I guess due to the Guns and Hoses event the place was wall to wall with police and fire fighters. I ended up getting separated from my group. I hate when that happens. I just sat up front by the door until Becky came looking for me. I figured we would just keep missing each other if we were both walking around. Thanksgiving Day was wonderful. I went to the University Club. They had an amazing spread. I'd never seen anything like it. I made sure not to over eat. I did that one year after the Nationals... and OMG it's terrible. I've over eaten 1 1/2 times. I know my limit, believe me I wanted more. The weekend has just been great. The weather is awesome Clear, sunny, in the 60's. AHHHH gives me an excuse to laze around except I don't know how to do that. I been training myself, clients and doing massage over the weekend to help pay for some of my upcoming expenses. I have to get this tooth looked at this week. I go to Cali next weekend and I'm afraid this filling may fall out. I've had my eye on it since the Europa in AUG. With my luck, it will jump out while I'm training with the Trainer of Champions, Charles Glass! My weekends are jammed packed until after the New Year. The next 2 weekends after Charles are Chiropractic seminars, then Christmas and New Year's. I'm going to be pooped. My training is going well. I'm still hanging at 155. It's mostly my fault because I haven't been a good eater. Just not up to 7 meals yet. I'm getting in 5-6 meals. I plan to be 165 by the time the Arnold comes around. I will be big and full!! The office is doing great and Cassie still doing her job better and better. We've had a couple set backs with the damn insurance companies. they play such games. She is now on to them!! They try to confuse the provider with paper work after paper work until they finally deny payment because it took to long. This has Cassie pulling her hair out mad!! Here is Cassie's my space for anyone who wants to meet her and give her support for her show http://www.myspace.com daganlisa. I leave Friday am for Cali, so I have another short work week which means I'll be crazy busy!! I hope all of you are well and had a wonderful holiday weekend too!! Strength is Beautiful!!

Dear Fans,
I’m finally getting back to being Dr. Dena. The office is off the hook right now. Cassie is continuing to help me move forward. We are getting her ready for her second figure show.. The Beverly show in Kentucky. She will be in attendance with me at the Arnold this year. I want her to get the buzz from all the Energy, so she has something to excite her for her show; She will be 4 weeks out at the Arnold.
I must say that I’m totally enjoying my off season. On Sunday, I went to have beer and wings with my friend Mary. It was GEAT… but I paid the next day!!! My schedule is a bit strange this week due to the Holiday. I’m going to this local event on Wednesday called Guns and Hoses. It’s a boxing match between the Police and Fire Fighters. It’s going to be a great time. Becky and I are going to be escorted by Limo for the evening. I’m going to re use the TUX outfit and then put it to rest.. Another outfit that has to be burned!! LOL... We plan on starting out at Clayton Jbucks for Happy Hour. I have never been there .. But everyone talks about its happy hour. Then off to the event. I will be marketing myself this evening as a Professional Bodybuilder.. Not so much a Chiropractor. My intentions is to draw some business to my web site. Here I don’t really market myself so much as a Bodybuilder… I’m Dr. Dena here, who is also a bodybuilder. I curious to see the crowd reaction to my physique. They are a bit conservative here. I’m from Florida… so anything goes! Becky has reservations at the University Club for Thanksgiving dinner. At 12 you can think of me sitting high above the city of Saint Louis over looking it’s beauty and enjoying the love of my closest friends. Off to the office. I wish you all a wonderful Holiday.

Dear Fans,

I must say I’ve missed you. I’ve now transitioned me site, and we’re adding more things. After being away from my blog for a bit, I’ve realized how much this is my outlet to people who understand. I just got back from the Nationals, and once again trying to establish Dr. Dena and get back to professionalism!

I’ve had a hard couple of weeks. The week before the Nationals my 83 year old grandfather came to visit. He is the man I speak of in my biography. We had a great time. I still had to work especially since I was going to be in Miami the next weekend. He got up every morning and got his 3 mile walk in and then came to the gym while I worked on patients. $ days in a row I trained him on the machines I wanted him to use. He got instantly hooked. I could see it in his face. The challenge of concentration, contraction and breathing was stimulating to him. I could see where I got it from. He caught on right away. He wanted to take pictures of us in a posing suit. It was so funny. I gave him a males suit and I put one of mine on… the pictures are great.. They should be up soon. When my Papa looked at them he laughed so hard!!

Papa stayed until Tuesday, and I left on Thursday for Miami. I’m sure you can imagine me running around like crazy trying to get everything packed and cooked in 2 days, and see patients. Thursday night I shot form my site with JC. He took some great pixs!! Oh-la-la! Friday I shot Annie for Andy’s new site, . Friday night OMG!!! I worked back stage for Pro Tan. That was the hardest work I’ve done in a long time. It’s like washing 300 cars in 5 hours. I have great respect for Carla, Nicky, Joanna, and the others that did it on Saturday am/pm too!! When you see these people you need to hank them for their work. They are a great help to the athletes! I just chilled on Friday night. It was awesome to just lay back and relax. I began to feel the energy of the fans. Each bodybuilding year that goes I figure out my purpose a little more. It’s just amazing. To spend the weekend with people who totally respect and love what you do is POWERFUL!!! Fan, Schmoe, Judge, Promoter, Friends, Bodybuilders all fill the room with energy that is so stimulating.

Saturday Night was GREAT too! I went out with the MD After Party. The Limo didn’t pick us up until 130 am, believe it! SO I knew this was going to be a late or early one. We had about 30 people in our posse. It was so much fun for all of us to be together. It’s like we are all friends that live in different sates and meet up to hang out and support each other. I hung with Mike and Nida, and Christine Roth. This was the first time I’ve meet Christine, she is a great person…! Check out the pixs on MD’s new site http://www.musculardevelopment.com/index.php?

Sunday I hung out on the beach a bit and relaxed. Monday morning I went to this great little on the strip called News Café. I still had a 45 minute drive to the airport. My cab driver was so cool he drove like a maniac there, but I’ve decide that all cab drivers drive like this. I made it, being the second time around..lol, and home safe a sound. It’s been difficult getting back on track. I feel much better this evening and am ready to finish the week. I’ve been booming in the office. Cassie is such a big help. She is taking over more responsibilities.

I would like to say “ My blog is back”, and thank you so much for all the support you give me. I’ve gained even more appreciation for you out there!! You’ve energized my soul which has made me even STRONGER!!! Engulf the BEAUTY of STRENGTH!
