If you decide to compete in a figure competition you will need a sparkly suit or two depending on the federation you compete in. You have a few choices on getting a suit. The most sane (and pricey) choice is to buy a new custom suit made just for you. You can also buy a [...]

Stories of sadness, fear, and loss are surrounding us during this unstable time. It seems to me that many people are walking through “valleys” right now. I was thinking about this today. I don’t like being in the valley. I like being on top of the mountain. It’s a much better view. But I [...]

It’s probably Tuesday for most of you now so Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Give your hands a workout and pinch lots of people. Monday was crazy busy for me. I had a callback for a Sprint commercial I auditioned for last week and we had taekwondo in the evening. Well for me that’s crazy [...]

I admit it. Sometimes I look through celebrity magazines in hopes of coming across some celebrity secret fitness secret. Gwen Stefani eats what??? I’ll also admit saying things like, “I’d look that good too if I had a chef and and trainer.” It’s been and sometimes still is my excuse. Don’t let anyone tell you [...]

As you know, I try to stick to whole foods. I do have one weakness…okay not true…I have A LOT of weakness but one that I don’t think I’m willing to give up…protein powder. It’s just so darn convenient and it’s really easy to make things that tastes like treats. For instance A Good Idea Pudding [...]

My gym membership is officially cancelled. I was sick my last week so I I didn’t even get to use it. Oh well. We scored a fantastic deal on a weight bench, squat rack, and set of olympic weights off of Craigslist. I’m sooo excited. Ridiculously excited! Forget about jewelry or shoes…I’m a beast! A [...]

Each day we can look at our goals as a fresh sheet of paper. Everyday we each get so many hours to fill our blank sheet of a paper with drawings. I must confess I struggle with getting started. More often than I’d like to admit I doodle meaningless little squiggles along the edges just [...]

I learned three things this past week. One I’m codeine intolerant. It made feel like I washed down 2 pounds of broccoli with 4 shots of vodka then got on the teacup ride at Disneyland. It lasted for miserable 36+ hours, the dizziness is still lingering. Seriously, it’s that bad. Worse than the flu itself. Secondly, I came [...]

Generally I work hard at being a positive person. Until I get sick. Last week I got the flu and rather than write whiney posts about how bad I felt I decided to lock myself up in a dark room and feel sorry for myself. Good times. I’ve been posting a lot of strength [...]

I’m sort of behind in pop culture. Hence a post referring to the Oscars two days after the ceremony instead of one. It’s actually sort of pathetic how little I know about pop culture. I thought Hannah Montana’s hair was really blonde until my son informed me it was a wig. And this was after [...]
