Pick ME!


Jeanine My Pick ...... She is a Power House!
www.fox.com/dance/contestants/
Here is who left and I am torn on the guys, I think Evan needs to go bye bye he is just not able to give the variety needed in style to me.
I love the fact that the girls did the super girl number and heck Ade brings it every time, he's a lion. I like all the styles of the girls but I just feel that Jeanine has the ability to adapt to anything, wow!

Who do you want to win?

I was going to call this blog for the LOVE of disco!
I love disco that was my groove and I was very good winning nearly every dance. I had a super partner and we were in sinc, he was tall and strong and I was about 105 of solid lean muscle in red satin pants and black stilettos can you imagine?That number blew me away, yes I was a competitive disco dancer and those moves were tough. I was thrown all over the place back in the day, including the death drop, but a death drop double and by the woman then man is something I call a complete show stopper. I can tell you I was re-living my old dance days in a daze last night and LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

What was your favorite dance?

I missed the first hour so I only got the re-cap on those but again my girl J. stood out. I think this year has been one of the best as far as reaching the bar higher. Can you even imagine having memories of being on a show like that with the costumes and make up and all? Seriously that would be AMAZING! What next for any of these dancers, the possibility is endless. I really loved the show last night, even got a jump out of Nigel shazam!

Ok now to fitness, I have been on a brownie sugar craving kick. So that scale is sticking again. My doings, and I take full responsibility. SNAP OUT OF IT T.!
I wanted to share this site that I joined, via Sparks Member Urbanmommy (Kim) and I am waiting for my first newsletter. I just thought I would share it with you in case you may want other info on supplements, or want a newsletter on this.

Bacholor Kiptyn 7 Days Left Of P90X


Kiptyn is the bachelor I wanted to win, or for eye candy.....



Yes, I got sucked into this show last night mainly because it was filmed in Hawaii how sweet would that be? Holy cow when they showed all the scenes I was like, lets go! I can't imagine NOT falling in love by just being there all that infatuation and dream dates, whats not to love? I only saw a few parts of this show and one time her and Kiptyn were on the top of a telephone pole and juming off to a trapeeze thingy, how cool would that freakin be? Pleeeeze sign me up!

Do they take old ladies lol.

I also saw them on boats and snow sledding and in a helicopter what the heck! I need a vacation, maybe I could sign up and go??? Who has these kinds of dates to get to know someone, do you know anyone that does? When she turned down Kiptyn after stuttering with an answer I think any "normal man" would have just walked away right then and there. NO begging and recapping the memories. Hey anytime a woman would stutter to answer or take more then 1/2 a second to say YES and jump up and down you just would NOT hang around.

Wonder if he would have pushed her in the water, after the other guy came back to ask her and she turned him down on TV. Do you think he really pulled strings to come back...or do you think its national tv they BROUGHT HIM BACK for that reason. Well I duno about that, let me have my little romantic fantasy for a moment and pretend he did.

Anyway are you happy with her choice of Ed?

Wonder why she picked the guy she had the most drama with? Do you think she did NOT want to have to keep up with Kiptyns 6-pack ab routines? Thats my thought, but hey I would love to run with this man! Ok, well I am over the eye candy for now I think.

My Trainer Karen Finch


There is no Thrill, Hope, or Beauty in settling for average."

Congrats to my trainer Karen Finch On becoming certified as a Master Physique Trainer for the sport of Bodybuilding & Figure Competition Preparation!

I am thrilled to brag for her, she is extremely knowledgeable in the area of nursing, nutrition and ALL areas of fitness & wellness.

As a person she is caring and genuine in helping you see it "like it is" and take a "no excuses" approach to get you to your goals. I am proud to call her my friend, trainer and role model. Thank you Karen for being YOU.

Here are some of the ways she has helped me grow:
How to adjust my macros for my body type
Eating PLAIN oatmeal can be tasty with apples
Choose sugar free jello and non-fat whipcream as my sweet tooth treat
NO more then 1 banana a day
Too much fruit = too many carbs
Lighter weights can be better
Injuries take 2 times longer to heal then you want them to
Sugar is my enemy
Too much cardio is burning my muscle off
Find the obsticals = limited factors, understand them and get past them

But most off all that anything is possible at any age if you want it bad enough, she is living proof and if you have not been to her page please stop by. She is amazing!
"There are only two options regarding commitment. Your either in or out. There's no such thing as life in-between" - Pat Riley
This quote she has on her page today fits her perfectly!

I have no idea how much effort goes into learning all she has learned to pass this certification but I am sure it was very hard. I know as I get older how hard it is for me to retain data at 47 and she is 55 and achieving this masterpiece. Wow thats all I have to say....WOW!

Karen even though you are in NY and I am in MO we have a great bond that will last a lifetime. You have been in my head every day and you have no idea how much that motivates me, challenges me and makes me want to be a better trainer and person because of YOU.

So today I say thank you Karen Finch my friend, trainer and mentor and I wish you continue success!
