Spring is Here!

Dear Friends and Fans,

I hope you all enjoyed the spring holiday. I got snow on Easter Sunday.. It was great. The sun came out and warmed the day up. I love the longer days and am definitely looking forward to the warmer weather.

I'm 7 weeks out of the New York Pro Show May 10Th. I actually weighted 150.3 before I sat down to write. I feel real full today, but it's a compact feeling. I'm very happy with the way I look right now. I'm hard and full, my legs have made improvements. I can feel it in my clothes and when I touch them. I feel lumps and bumps I haven't before. I'm hitting my mandatories 3 rounds/ day. My work outs are great pumps and very focused. It's like I can control every muscle. My triceps and calves are really round and hard. Both have striations and shape that's new. these 2 were accessory parts I had plan to slowly work on. Well, it seems to have paid off some. I'm really working on keeping my legs full but stimulated. I don't want to lose any size while I diet. My waist is so tiny, for me..lol, I love to just wrap my hands around it and flare my lats.

I'm having to watch my time management closely. It gets hard to juggle everything once the posing and extra cardio comes in and hogs up a couple hours a day. My business , of course, is off the hook. It never fails that when I get close to a show patients come piling in. The REAL hard thing is that Patients take Patience. I'm hanging in there. I feel strong and look better than I ever have.. What else could I ask for??... Continued good health.. how's that?! I ask the same for all of you.

I have a little info on the television series I will be featured on WETV, Women's Entertainment, the link here is to the whole series. It has several segments. Video and trailers are on this link. keep checking it for times the bodybuilders are coming on, or just watch them all. It looks really neat. Check it out and let me know what you think. www.wetv.com/shows/secretlives . Thank you for all your support.

Better Than Ever!

Dear Friends and Fans,

I stripped down and went through a bunch of my poses before I sat down here to tell you how awesome my physique is looking. Yeah its all still there...lol. I hopped on the scale @ 148 and that was on an empty stomach, which means by the end of the day I'm still holding on @ 150. I'm big, full, hard and ripped. I need to hold this look; I think that will be the challenge. I've never been in this shape this far out. I'm slowly doing cardio to save my legs. I tell people it's like being a rotisserie chicken... I slowly cook everything off, but save the juicy meat!!! LOL. My shoulder is better but not 100% which leaves me staying away from heavy dumbell presses, so I concentrate on really pumping up my chest up with cables and machines. I love to do the cables from down low which allows me to really work those striations along the sternum... peeling them out!! I'm still training legs 3 times a week. Heavy pull day, heavy push day, and an isolation day... it really seems to be keeping my legs full and defined. I have been working on slimming my waist since 2005... its 2" smaller... it would be nice to bring in a 22" waist.. my lats are flowing.. abs chiseled to the bone as usual.. what else can I say..LOL My brother -in-law would say how can you fit through the door with that head.. He's just playing though.. I'm really not that vain.. I don't think.. I ... I....I! OOps.... sorry.

Well started my fat burners.. I've been using lioplyze and somalyze from http://www.speciecnutrition.com/. They are kickin!!! They use a different fat burning process which gives you no jitters, headache or irritability and the Somalyze is a natural sleeping aid that allows you to burn fat while you sleep. What else can you ask for??

My goals for the week are to starting fitting mandatory posing into my everyday schedule. The aerobics room is open from 4-5 everyday, so I go in a try to take advantage of that time... I plan to call http://www.ccfitwear.com/ my suit girl, Caroline, to work out my ideas with her. I plan to contact Women's Entertainment TV and try to get more info on channels and times for the show.

All is well! Thank you for all your support. Hope you like the progression pixs up. I call them mug shots. I just take them for Dave.. I don't worry about trying to make my hair and face perfect.. He's just looking at my body. Occasionally he requests that I tan , so I stop blinding him.. but I've kept up this year after all that natural sun from Florida. The pix here I took for my blog last week that I didn't get to.

Back In The Saddle Again!

Dear Friends and Fans,

Well, I hit my goal.I gave myself 2 weeks to get my weight up to 150. All the stuff that went on in Feb. caused me to drop to a ripped 142. I looked awesome, but had 12weeks left to the show. I hope to compete at 142 or close to it. I figured if I got to 150 and held it till about 3 weeks out I could go in nice and full. I'm still pretty lean, so my objective is to slowly work on my conditioning with light cardio and keep my weight up. Hopefully being this lean @ 150 will allow me to use less cardio and save my legs.

I've been getting great workouts in my basement. It feels so powerful to be sitting down in my work shop, sculpting my body. Its awesome... this lifestyle, if people really knew the behind the scenes to what it really takes to maintain a body like this. The training, posing, diet, rest... every second I have those things on my mind.

The diet is on, my shoulder is almost better, I'm getting great pumps, my physique has made improvements... I'm good to Go !! The picture is from my back work out yesterday.
