Dream in Color

by
Dreams never die; they may morph, but they never die. My dream of being a top IFBB fitness competitor has transitioned into a new journey into the word of CrossFit. Knee injuries and surgeries have retired me out of the IFBB as a pro fitness competitor–My body cannot take the gymnastics tumbling anymore. However, my…

FAN-tastic
Sometimes the success of a performance relies little on the judges and fully on those who support the performer. Having affirmation from a panel of judges is the ultimate goal for any competitor but it is not the only indicator of success. The 2009 IFBB Europa Show of Champions, April 17-18, was such a show…

Yesterday: Friend or Foe
Life offers an endless range of opportunities for success and failure, courage and cowardice, and survival and victimization. Some experiences are carried from one juncture to the next and influence latter outcomes, but other experiences are better left behind in a corner of our memory which has no control over our tomorrow. Perhaps it is a…

One Dream Closer

Friends, First, I must apologize for such a long absence–not that I am disillusioned that my silence affected your life, but it did mine, I miss writing. Regardless, let’s play catch up. The last three years has been consumed with pursuing a dream: the law. My passion for the law began long before my passion…

Resolution Rehash
New year resolutions always get me thinking. Mainly because they are usually the same…rather it is to lose weight, keep better records or stay in touch, they are a dime a dozen and stick like Velcro on a potato. December is a month spent riding on the pretense that in January “things are changing.” The…

After posting on Facebook that I was so blessed to have such a great friends and pumpkin pancakes to get me through tough times, I had requests for the recipe…so here it is! These are great! They also travel well for a snack during class (or 4.5hr finals!), after workout, during Christmas shopping! So don’t…

Attitude is Everything
I made a Face Book post the other day that went something like this: Do what I say or do as I do, either way you will improve. One of the comments referred to me as cocky…Really? I don’t think so. I am not saying that I am better than you, or that I don’t…

Are You “Healthy”
I can remember, more times than I care, being labeled “healthy.” I never took it in a flattering way and don’t know one girl who would. Looking “healthy” is about like being told “you look like you’ve stopped dieting.” This is reason enough to re-examine all the “healthy” labels on forbidden foods. Let’s look at…

Getting Workouts Form Magazines?

Are you thinking that taking a weight loss supplement is going to make you look like a fitness model? Really? The advertisements in fitness magazines would have you think that looking like the fitness model were as easy as proper supplementation and some cardio. Oh young grasshopper…it isn’t that easy. It is true that fitness…
