Hey everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well! Things are starting to get down to the kick butt part of competiting. 4 weeks is when you really start getting in the zone and giving it your absolute all. Today is when I download the Rocky soundtrack to keep me going lol. Who doesn't love Rocky????
So Monday I received my new swimsuit for the competition and it is gorgeous and totally me!
I love it!!! And it'll totally stand out on stage. I'm so excited to compete again it's been so long!
For work it's been amazing! My clients are doing so well and see lots of results. I couldn't be happier in my life at this point in time. Well.....Maybe when I get a sweet new trophy from my competition!
That's all for now. Hugs!

This is my creativity leaking through the internet into your brraaaiiinnnsss.... Yay!

Long time no blog!
Hi Everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I've been crazy busy! I have been working a good 10-12 hours a day and getting my own training and cardio in. It's sooo not easy!
Currently I'm 7 weeks a way from my competition. I'm soooo excited! I'm starting to tighten up my nutrition and adding in more cardio. The cardio part can be a drag but I have great friends and clients that totally help me out. I'm totally thankfully for them! Another thing I'm thankful for is the gym I work at finally got a cardio theater. It's where you watch a movie while doing cardio. I'm for sure bringing in Rocky! It'll help for motivation.
I also added in some Bikram yoga once a week. If you haven't tried this I totally suggest it! It's an amazing workout and helps so much with flexibility. I would for sure also suggest wearing as little as possible. When I first walked in I saw all these guys and girls half naked and was a little shocked. After the first 10 minutes I understood why! LOL! I was totally overdressed! Next week I'm hoping to take a Tabatta class. Wish me luck!
Today I got to FINALLY see the Expendables. HOLY CRAP! What an amazing movie! In the first 15 minutes a man is blown in half! It was amazing! I surprised Amy and myself weren't kicked out of the movie for yelling. LOL! GO SEE THIS MOVIE! Anyone who said it was bad is dumb.
Well, I'm gonna have my last meal and hit the hay. I have a client at 7:30 am. I don't function so well at this time lol.
Hugs everyone!

I've been MIA!!!
Hey everyone!
Sorry for not posting for a bit. I've been working on building my clients up and keeping track of current clients. They have had some amazing results and I'm sooooo happy about it! They're all hard workers and I'm so lucky to have the clients I do. On Aug 20th I'll be heading to Hyannis, MA for some more educational seminars for my training. I'm so excited! And even more excited Rain will be with me. It's going to be amazing!
This Friday I will attending the Triple W show in Quincy, MA as support for a new student coming out of Chaotic Training Center named Mercedes and my lovely friends. I miss them so much but now I get them all at 1 show! Who could ask for more!
My girl Meghan is 10 days away from her first competition. I'm soooo excited for her! She is going to do amazing things and totally own this show! I'm checking out her new suit tonight and soooooo excited to see how gorgeous it's gonna be.
For myself I am gearing up for my competition. I'll be competing in Boston for the Cutler Classic and I can't wait! Just started buckling down on my nutrition and doing some kick butt workouts. Well, that's it for now and I'm off to enjoy my day off.
Hugs!

Oh! And here's another recipe for clean eaters on the go.
Pre heat your oven to 375. Use Pam cooking spray (I like butter flavor) on a muffin tin.
Ingredients
4 egg white
1/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup spinach
1 slice of veggie cheese or low-fat cheese
Mix whites, quick oats and spinach together and poor into muffin tin. This will make 3 mini omelets for you. Just repeat for other omelets to fill tin. I do it this way to I can keep track of macro nutrients. Cook for about 15-20 mins or until tops are a light brown.
You can also switch out the spinach for a different veggie like broccoli or tomatoes.
Hope you like it : )

A great day off!
Finally after 2 12 hours days I get to hang back a bit. I love my job though and I love being there for my clients. Another one of my clients lost 5 inches off her waist! She's doing amazing and I'm soooo excited for her! And a gentleman I train has completely progressed in his workouts and we're doing measurements Friday. I know he's gonna see big changes as well.
Today Max, the pup and I hit up XO on Elm St. in Manchester. Place is amazing and pup friendly. We gave them 2 thumbs and 1 paw up! Then we went to the gym and starting to watch Dexter season 3. I love this show! I can't believe this season! It's amazing! And.....Mad Men starts again this Sunday.
This past weekend I was in North Dartmouth, MA to try on some dresses for Ariel's wedding. I'm so excited for her! I love her dearly and her happiness warms my heart. Congratulations my best friend! You and Tomas will live happily ever after :)
Time for some sleep. Goodnight moon!

Catching up
Hey everybody!!
Hope everyone is doing well! And thanks so much for keeping up with me! I've been getting so busy with personal training it's amazing! I have 1 young lady who will be competing for the first time August 14th. I'm sooooo excited for her and doing my best to be completely hands on for her. I also have a gentleman who hadn't been able to workout more than cardio and just some ab machines. The last 2 training sessions we've had he's been doing squats and working with all different equipment. I'm soooo excited! I'm soooo lucky to have the wonderful people I do as clients.
I also have some plans in August to head down to Cape Cod with some great friends for a Fitness Expo in Hyannis, MA. I'm totally looking forward to some seminars and networking with new people. I love learning new stuff and hearing about other's experiences. And......Miss Rain should be coming up to the northeast to go with me! I'm super excited!
Also, this past week I got to go kayaking for the first time! Luckily Max knew what he was doing. lol. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a huge fan of rivers or oceans lol. It was so lovely to out on the river and nothing surrounding us. We were out for a good 2 and half hours. Next week we'll be heading to Boston for a day in the city.
And this weekend is going to be super fun. I have some very special plans with my Pretty Bitchin tag partner Ariel. I haven't seen her since the last Shimmer show. We're gonna be playing dress up and going for some lunch. I miss her so much this will be my Ariel fill for a bit.
Well it's time for me to get my food packed for tomorrow and pack up all my stuff.
Have a great night everyone!
Hugs!

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Just a quickie : )
Hey everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while but my work has totally picked up! It's so amazing! I have over a dozen clients and love working with them all! I'm super lucky to have such great people in my life and I couldn't be happier. : ) Helping people feel better about themselves and seeing healthy improvements in themselves is the most rewarding job ever. I totally love it!
Now the downfall, lol, I have been working such long hours I haven't had time to keep up with my blog, facebook or twitter. Sorry everyone! But, I'm gonna do my best to be better about it.
I also wanted to thank everyone who came out to WSU. It was so hot! I think everyone was just as painfully hot as I was! lol.
Well, back to work!
Lots of hugs!
