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!
