5th Place Phoenix Pro!

Dear Friends and Fans,

I was happy with my placing @ the Phoenix Show. It kinda stinks that they aren't able to qualify 4Th and 5Th for the Olympia since 2 of the girls were already qualified, but "oh well" my day will come to stand on the O stage again. StrykerX really did a great job with the show, and I would encourage anyone to compete in his shows. He is working on the Arizona Grand Prix that will be a couple weeks before the Olympia and there will be women's bodybuilding. He is really trying to pull the sport out, and I thank him for that and his hard work over the weekend. It is appreciated.

Of course, I come to a full office of patients which is a great thing but on the other hand I'm running around like a crazy woman living out of a suitcase...LOL. It usually takes me a couple to get totally out of my suitcase after a show, but now, I just leave it out with alot of the things still in it to fill it up and leave again for the Arnold Classic. I'm running some pretty busy days in the office this week and working on bringing my physique back together. I think this is the only time I've hit shows this close, so it's something different and not sure what to expect. I came home with like 9 days to prepare and with a busy work schedule leaves me doing things like writing my blog @ 12:15am while on the treadmill...LOL. Really! I have totally learned to multitask everywhere. I will audit my patients accounts tomorrow am during carido.

I'm working on filling out and staying lean. I do small pump up workouts and cardio everyday and concentrate mainly on the glute ham tie in. I'm back up to 145. I was about 140 on stage. I'm really looking forward to another Arnold Classic. It's really alot of fun. I'm finished by Friday with competing, so after that it lots of work and a little play. I have a couple of shoots and interviews planned, and I hope to have HBO by my side filming my story. No matter what it is going to be a great weekend. I'm hoping for a top 10 placing here. I placed 9th here last year, but the line up is a bit more challenging and leaving me to battle it out with again Veteran's. I try not to sweat the small stuff. I'm there, have supporters and friends and time off work. LET'S PLAY!!!

The computer I use to FTP died yesterday, so @ the moment getting things to the site aren't easy. I'm sorry. I am working on it; it's on the list of many things to do in the countdown.

I'm pleased with my look here in the pix I chose, but of course can always be better. Let's see if I can pull it a little better. Keep on pumpin me up!!!!

Your Pro,

Dr.Dena
