It’s Possible
It’s possible. Whatever your goal is, it’s possible. Let me tell you a little bit more about my own personal journey going from a simple “fan in the stands” to an IFBB Pro Figure competitor. If we go way back, my first loves were softball and dance beginning at the age of 4. Soon after I started gymnastics, cheerleading, cross country …
Own Who You Are
What does that really mean? To me that means own your thoughts, own your actions, be you and own it. Trying doesn’t cut it. I hear that phrase all of the time. I’ve used that phrase. What does that say? It says maybe. Maybe is not committing to it. Maybe says I don’t want it …

There are continuous changes happening every day. Thoughts spiralling up and down. Body weight fluctuates. Traffic at a time when there normally isn’t.

Adorable downtown area with cute boutiques, coffee shops, parks, interesting people watching, and a ton of fun looking restaurants. It finally was sunny today after 3 straight days of rain. I was so happy to see the sun. The grey skies …
Hitting the road…..
Started my day at 4am this morning. Left home by 5:30am headed to my Coach Mouss El Bakkouchi’s home town of Beaverton, Oregon. Driving out as I am here for the next 4 weeks as I strive to reach my goal. The drive took 11 hours. Though it was long time went by fast thanks …
Work, work, work, SLAP!
It is so interesting how you can be so motivated to work on something and are pushing for it daily. Making conscious decisions about all you do. You start being aware. Aware of what you say, what you do, and who you are in each moment. I’ve been putting myself to work. There’s much more …
