Happy as can be!

I am finally starting to settle down a bit and relax. I am leaving for some Dallas shopping with my mom in the morning after a job interview. I am going to shop for 3-4 days and then will be leaving for Mexico in less than 2 weeks. I can hardly wait.

I am back to eating clean and when I say clean I am talking things like yogurt, Ezekiel bread, eggs, egg whites, oatmeal, grits, lots of summer organic fruits and veggies. I love summer time and the fresh fruit and stuff that come with it. I spend Sunday indulging in some not so good for you stuff and after waking up Monday feeling as if I had a huge hangover I realized I had to get back at it because that is just poison for my body. So no sugar for this gal, just good proteins, carbs and some fats like avocados and almonds, walnuts and stuff like that.


I wanted to share this great poem that a very special friend wrote for me. It means so much to me I ask if I could share and since he does not mind, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I am going to keep it forever!


You gave your all to be your best, Now you can celebrate.

Although your time was not that long
, Your moments but a few,
Your proved your heart and mind were strong,
It made a star of you.

A champion who earned the name,
Who seized upon the hour,
A light upon the hallowed stage,
A beauty fused with power.

You showed that you are so much more,
Than some had ever thought,
You went and sparkled on the floor,
To prove how hard you'd fought.

Fought to be the best you've been,
A Lady strong and true,
A role model that should be seen,
A talent fresh and new.

Now you're making changes,
To make a another start,
Your life now rearranges,
But is guided by your heart.

For all the times you proved yourself,
To be what you are now,
You proved you have fantastic wealth,
And a youth that knows no bounds.

Today I look back on your deeds
Reflecting on your past,
As you begin to sow new seeds
To grow things that will last.

I wish you well in all you do,
For your star will never fade,
I know that heart so strong and true,
Will shine in other ways.

You've shown the best of all you are,
You've shown what you can do,
I know that you can go so far.
As I've seen so much in you.

I wish I'd seen you at your best
I wish I'd seen you shine,
But I know you more than past the test
You're a Lady of your time.

For all that you strive to achieve
For all you wish to do,
Know that I will still believe,
And I'm always proud of you.

Secondly I'd like to say a BIG CONGRATULATIONS.


Now a few more pics from my show.

Took some names this weekend!


What a fabulous show this was. I am so glad I did it. The people were wonderful and I had more fun this year than last year at the same show. Maybe that is because I was a lot more ready this go around, coming in at 12 lbs lighter than last year. I am small and was smaller than all the other women. I weighed at my daughter's on Sat and it was 108 which is what the doc weighed me a week ago. Anyway, it was absolute wonderful and I really felt like I went out with a bang.I have to say I am gonna to miss it more than anything but I need to tackle some other goals I have. I will post pics as soon as things settle down a bit and I can get them all downloaded.

I took 1st place Novice, 2nd place Master's and the Oklahoma Natural Bodybuilding Title and the good news is, there were 3 other bodybuilders who were over the age of 40! That never happens. I found some new friends for life though.
