hello everyone, I just wanted to say I am enjoying some vacation time in Boracay, which is a small island in the Philippines. Talk about culture shock! I am amazed at their eating habits and now it makes sense why they are all so small!

On the airplane the seats were so small I wondered how in the heck larger people can even visit there!
I was trying on clothes and found out I am a size Large! I wear a 0-3 in the states, and out of their 4 sizes, S, M, L, and XL, I am a large!

You may have seen some new photos of me recently but not heard from me lately, so I thought I’d write a little story, hoping once again to instill some motivation. I’m big on that! I just think it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut!

Happy birthday! Today, Sunday Sept 14th is Glen's Birthday, so be sure to wish him a happy belated one!

you're only as old as you feel buddy!

I knew I left the Black Eyed Peas song "Pump It" on my Ipod for a reason!
I was at the gym, hopped on the treadmill, which I don't do a whole lot, but I wasn't training with my trainer today. Thought maybe I'd catch up on some current events and news while running on the treadmill. Well, what do you suppose is on just about every TV? If you guessed Politics, Bingo!

OK, 7 years of Mountain biking and I finally did the inevitable! I fell off my bike this morning! 15min warmup to the trailhead and about 2 minutes into the trail, my tire seemed to not want to go over this rock that somehow was part of this mountain (imagine that!?), and next thing I knew I was flying over my handlebars into the air heading for the ground! My arms braced the fall and my leg jammed into the bike and hit my shoulder on the ground. My initial concern was "I sure hope I will be able to finish this ride"!

I know when I first joined it was a little overwhelming, and took some getting used to navigating around. And to be honest, I haven't even explored all the information that is here on this website! Cuz there's a lot of it here, anything you are wanting to know about health and fitness!

For lack of a better name, this is what I call it! A girl I met at my last fitness model competition was telling me about this recipe, she said she read it on Bodybuilding.com. I did a search for it and couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. All she told me was that you use Tuna and egg whites in the crust, and from there I created the entire recipe on my own from scratch.

Do you some days simply dread going to the gym and doing the same ol’ routine that you always do but you make yourself go because you are an exercise enthusiast and that’s just what you do? I know I do! In the end I do feel good that I went but sometimes just don’t get the kick ass workout that I am looking for.
Well, I got creative the other day, and boy did it kick my ass, literally! (As I sit on my sore butt and write this!)
