How are yas all?
I'm doing pretty good I'd have to say. Training, work, webcam!!, the house ...everything's coming along nicely thus far. My schedule's been really really full these past few weeks but what's new, lol, I'm always stressed for time :)
First off, I would like to thank you all for being concerned about me and my possible future bodybuilding career ...I really appreciate your thoughts and concerns ;) ...BUT I would like to tell my fans and whoever else wants to listen, I AM NOT GIVING UP OR QUITTING FEMALE BODYBUILDING ...I'm just taking a little break- Ya know, home girl needs a break every once in awhile ;) I have so much going on right now that I think I need to tend to the most important things- like making a future for myself that I know can hold me up and carry me through life. I went to school and worked pretty damn hard for my BSN and now I want to really utilize what I have been rewarded with- without having to be stressed out all the time- Since I graduated in May of last year, and finished with my Nationals Prep in November, I have been soooooo laid back and just "whatever" that it would be insane for me to go and do something crazy like try to compete in bodybuilding this year. I'm young ...I've got time :) ...So anyways, those are my thoughts and intentions when talking about that ...
But one more thing that I was thinking about ... I have competeted quite a bit since my freshman year in highschool!!!! ...That's nine years ...And what amazes me is that I can honestly say, that until this past November/December, I have NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER taken more than 5-6 days off from training in those 9 years ...NEVER!!!! I know your body needs a break every once in awhile but that was a HUGE no-no for me, haha ...I just couldn't do it ...I was so stuck on training training training that I didn't think about anything else. If I missed a day in the gym I'd go insane, it was such a big deal- Now I laugh about that but I still see and understand why I was that was- I was determined to accomplish something- Bodybuilding/training is addictive, very addictive, LOL. Here is what I have accoplished thus far...

My friend Holly just graduated from Nursing school in December and is getting ready to take boards so I am hoping to spend some time with her coming up soon- She's a trip, she make me laugh so hard sometime, I love her to death ...we are total opposites but yet get along so well and have an awesome time together just hanging out. We were pratically roomates my senior year in college ...Although she wore my nerves into the dirt sometimes, she kept me sane most of the time ...BUT DON'T TELL HER THAT ;) LOVE YOU LOE!!!!! I MISS YA and your moma and dad!!!! I'll post a pic of us too...
