A few weeks away and look what I did!

Last weekend I went to visit a friend's cottage. It is an annual event where a whole bunch of us get together and enjoy a weekend of great weather, good friends and lots of fun!!! I love to wakeboard and because the weather was so great decided to go out a few times. I was getting tired, but decided to clear the wake one last time before wrapping it up and going back in. I landed on the second wake kind of funny and one of my feet came out of the bindings, my other foot, with the board still attached, turned outwards and really strained my knee. I was in a lot of pain and had to be pulled out of the water....yikes!!!

Needless to say, I have had a week of NO cardio and have only been able to workout my lower body once. I am trying to baby it along in hopes that I will be able to be on track for the show. Regardless, I will be there on September 19th giving it all I have on stage and hope that what I bring to the show is good enough for me!!!

Jumpped In With Both Feet

I would have to say that November 2008 was a turning point for me. I had stood in the mirror too many times and not liked what I had seen. I decided that there needed to be a change and a drastic one at that. I was the kind of person who had always read Oxygen magazines and I wanted to be fit, this lead me to Mindi O'Brien.

I set up a meeting/consultation with her and after speaking with her I was hooked. I had agreed to compete in two competitions and was ready for the challenge. Little did I know that the challenge Mindi was about to hand me was not quite what I thought it was going to be.

I trained hard everyday and ate well (most days). I saw the results and loved what I saw. The more I lived this clean and healthy lifestyle the easier it became, the control became addicting.

I stepped on the stage of my first competition confident in myself. It was amazing...I didn't place, but an audience choice award was nothing to frown about.

I walked out of Palais Royale that evening more determined then ever. I was going to continue and I was going to come in for my next show better then ever!!!
