The new year is underway and all our competitors are starting to get into the competition mindset. We will have several first timers in figure and men’s bodybuilding. There will be several local shows so it will be easy to prepare for them. My training partner Brandie is going to the Jr. USA in june and Christy and I are going to the nationals in November, Christy in the middleweight and I will be in the Light-Heavy.

I have been battling a couple of nagging injuries lately, knee and triceps. I feel better this week and even did an all time best on the incline dumbbell press using the 80 pounders!! Stay tuned, I will keep everyone up on my progress to the nationals.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! The holidays are over and now it’s time for me to get serious, lol. I did a lot of eating and visiting family during christmas . all the kids are doing great. I got together with some friends on new years, folks from the club. Went over to their house so we had a safe new year.

Now its back on the diet and hitting the weights hard. Its tough when the holidays come during the middle of the week like that, throws off my consistency of workouts. My plan now is to train for the nationals in atlanta in november and maybe one other national level show, need that pro card!!! Gotta run and get back to the gym. I’ll be adding some pics from the dallas shoot soon.

Dec. 10, 2007

Exciting news, I just started getting in some of the pictures from the photo shoots I did in dallas in november! I am adding a few to my gallery 3 page so you can see. These were taken my muscular development photographer Dan Ray. This is the first time I have worked with him and he was great. We did 3 different outfits and he also did the shots in black and white which looked awesome. The website is www.musculardevelopment.com and I might end up in the M “D” Cup section at the bottom of the page link, lol. I will add some additional photos as I can, have a great week!

Hey everybody, I spent the last couple of weeks recovering from thanksgiving and trying to get back on some sort of routine and diet. It’s really hard this time of year and now we are heading into ANOTHER HOLIDAY!! Yes, Christmas is now upon us and there will be more food tempting me. My strength is slowly returning but of course, not fast enough for me. It is also hard training with 2 giddy partners who eat what they want because they know diet season is coming january 1. That’s it for now.

Nov. 25, 2007

WOW, I ate way too much during the thanksgiving holiday! This week its back to leg workouts and cardio again. It was a nice little break after the photo shoots at the nationals though. I went to mississippi for thanksgiving dinner with the kids then on to visit my brother who had surgery on his neck last Monday, he’s in a lot of pain and I am hoping he will get better soon.

Ya’ll take care!

November 20, 2007

Just got back from dallas and finally getting to eat again! The show was great and there were a lot of competitors there. There were 85 in the womens bodybuilding alone. It was exciting being there and it motivated me for next year knowing how the show goes and what to expect.
Photo shoots went great, I was booked all weekend. It was very cold and windy when we started on Friday. We were on the roof  pool area and it was freezing! I had to keep going inside to warm-up. Met a bunch of new photographers that want to work with me next time so it was a very exciting weekend.
I was pleased to shoot with my friend Annie again, she is an Ifbb pro. I should get some pics in a few weeks and I will post them. I am including a pic with Annie and one she took of me.

November 11 th , 2008

Well, thank god this is the last week of dieting for a while. I can’t wait to start eating again and start lifting heavy. Leaving for dallas this weekend, it should be a lot of fun and WORK. I have 3 shoots set up for Friday and 2 more for Saturday and will also do some webcam work too.

This is the carb depletion-sodium loading phase which always kills me! No energy and brain dead! I get to start carbing up on Thursday and since this is not a real show I will at least not have to cut off my water on Friday. My goal is to be in about 80% contest shape and the fact there is no weight class to make, I will be big and cut. It should make for some great pics.

So I am going to try and survive these next 3 days best I can and will let you know how everything turned out next week.

November 5th , 2008

Well it’s now two weeks to go on my diet for the photo shoot in dallas. I have been training hard, even getting stronger on my max lifts even with the diet. This week will be a lot of carb-depletion which I’m sure will completely destroy my energy level, next week will even worse of course. Doing all this and working a full personal training schedule is hard. I am sooooo looking forward to some Mexican food !

I did some shopping in Nashville over the weekend trying to find some cute outfits for the photo shoots that I am doing. I went to Opry Mills there and it was as crowded as ever. So many folks there you could hardly walk and of course I had to park waaaay out and walk about a mile to the mall.

I am doing 4 or 5 shoots in dallas and as soon as I get the pictures back from the photographers I will update my galleries with all the new stuff. In the meantime, I am adding 3 new ones to gallery 3 courtesy of Muscle Angels.

October 28, 2008

Hello everyone ! hope ya’ll had a great weekend, mine was good. I had a visit from my daughter Gemma on Sunday and we got out and did some shopping. Training and dieting are going good, I have 3 weeks until I can eat again! Training this week went great, even though I am dieting and carb depleting I made some strength gain in the bench press and also did 175 # behind the neck for 5 reps which is a record for me anyway. I stopped doing squats this week and I didn’t mind that at ALL ! I stop doing them 3 to 4 weeks out from a show to let my quads cut up more. I’m also back to doing cardio every day which is never any fun hanging on to that stairMONSTER!

I am looking forward to Dallas and the nationals in November, seeing all the great bodybuilders that will be there will be motivation. I have my photo shoots lined up with some of the best bodybuilding photographers in the business and excited about getting some new pics and video done over that weekend.

The next couple of weeks will be hectic with my preparation for the show while still seeing all my clients so be patient, there will be more to come!

October 20, 2007

I’m being a good girl this week and writing my blog on time. I had an amazing arm workout this week, I did 125lbs. on lying triceps extensions I got 6 and was happy until my trainer okay now press it……..noooooo did you not just see me almost die doing that, so I screamed and just did it, hmm sounds like a nike commercial.

I didn’t do any webcam this week, too busy and I don’t want to half ass do it so that requires me to make sure my hair is right and my makeup and what outfit I’m going to wear. I’ll be back next week….so ya’ll be patient with me.

Yesterday I had it workout to meet Christy (workout partner) at the farm she keeps her horses. I was going to get up earlier so I could do my hair, so what did I do OVERSLEPT. It all turned out fine I cancelled my last appointment of the day so I could get home and clean up. We had so much fun, I’m going to include a picture and if you get time check out the video on youtube.

October 16, 2007

Sorry I’m so late with this, crazy weekend. Too many things to do and not enough time to do them in. My webcam thing went well, I hope everyone that came to visit me enjoyed our time together, I know I did. It’s amazing how many fans there are for women BB, you can see all the hits the girls get from youtube and the magazines still will not feature the great women of muscle.
I put up a couple more video’s on youtube, if you get a chance check them out.

Brandie (figure) is the one do the little dance, she said do I really look like that? Funny she does that all the time, and after she’ s had a drink OMG!

I’m currently VERY HUNGRY, trying my best to get in shape for Dallas so glad I’m not competing, that would be really ugly. My workout’s are great, very intense, really don’t have the energy to get through them. I really want a big sloppy hamburger with everything and a beer! That’s okay, I’ll be strong I don’t want anyone to be disappointed.

I’ll get off my butt and write again Thursday or Friday.

Ya’ll take care!

October 6, 2007

Hey ya’ll, hope your week has been as good as mine. Work has been good….some long days and very hard workouts. My body is so sore I can hardly move. You can see that if you go to youtube and watch my workout partners and me. They were showing off a bit; I was too busy sweating to care. They both are very cute…..please welcome Christy and Brandie to our little party. Christy is a bodybuilder and Brandie is a figure competitor

I want to say thank you to the fan who sent me the cutest bikini, that pic will be sent to you very soon! Very Hot! Hope you like it.

The saddest thing, my son and girlfriend just got the most precious dachshunds; the poor baby is sooo sick. I hope it doesn’t die…..LESSON HERE, do not buy from just anyone! Breaks my heart, I have a min. dachshunds she’s 14 yrs old……it would just kill me if something happen to her.

Scott is very close to having my site done……I can’t wait, ya’ll should be very excited……a lot of stuff you have yet to see!

Well it’s Saturday and I’m all about having some fun, so I’ll talk to ya’ll next week. Ya’ll take care now.

Sunday September 30, 2007

This was a week of getting back to work and working out. Getting up at 5am makes me want to scream, I know I shouldn’t complain, it’s just after getting up whenever it’s hard getting back to work. I love my clients, so no matter how I feel, I truly enjoy being with them and helping them, they are my family.

Brandie (figure competitor) was on vacation so Lance trained Christy, Jameson and I. It was a great week; I’ve never thought I might get sick doing back………but OMG! It was brutal!!!!! my son-n-law was there with his friends to work out, and I was a little embarrassed about the amount of noise I made. What can I say, I was about to die…………..who gives a F**k what people think! All I know is that I have one thing in mind every time I workout. The nationals!!!!!!!! Every workout counts!

Did ya’ll see the pictures from the Olympia?? Iris’s legs look like an anatomy chart. Heather Policky did great on her 1^st run for the crown. I was sad for Annie Rivieccio, I was hoping she would maintain her 3^rd place from last year or move up, there’s always next year.

Sunday September 23

The beach was great this week, sunny I could not of ask for a better vacation. We were at Pedio Key the only negatives there were no gyms. I went to a community center; it was okay, but very quiet. I was afraid to make any noises or say anything of fear someone would say shhh! So tomorrow it’s time to get back on track. Good thing I took my pictures and videos at the 1^st of the week. Too much eating, and drinking and staying up all night. Monday is going to suck! Friday afternoon friends were getting married on the beach. It was my first beach wedding, a tropical depression was coming in at the time they were to say their I DO’s. They were married under a pavilion, but rain was coming in side ways. Everyone was wet even the poor bride and groom, someone should give that girl a gold star. She didn’t cry or complain about any of it. My son was there with his sweet and very pretty girlfriend. (She reads my blog, I want her to know how special she is)

As we all know the Olympia is around the corner. I purchased several bodybuilding Mag’s this week, I think it’s a crying shame that the great women of this sport are hardly mentioned. When will these women who work as hard as the men on their physique get the recognition they deserve. When I pick one of these mag’s the 1^st thing I do is look for the coverage of the women. If there is any it’s short and sweet. I would like to say thank you to each and everyone one of you that come to my site, read my blog, and watch my video’s. It means a lot to know ya’ll care.

The new site should be up soon, I’ll keep you informed. I took a lot of hot stuff in FL. Not to give anything away but there is a whole naked tub with bubbles (HOT)

Ya’ll be sweet and keep those emails coming love hearing from my fans.

September 14, 2007

How’s everyone, hope ya’ll had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. I know I am, can anyone say VACATION! I thought you could.

Yes that’s right a whole week at the beach, wait yes I hear the ocean calling my now. Earlier this week I was extremely angery and just wanted to scream at the top of my voice, but now that’s it’s Friday and going to be a short day and again I’m going on VACATION things are much better.

I’m going to take lots of video’s and pics while I’m gone. I have some of the cutest, tiniest, sexiest out fits. Can’t wait for ya’ll to see. Scott’s working hard on my web site and Jameson is helping me send the video’s that I’ve already done to Scott. So there’s going to be all kinds of stuff for ya’ll to look at.

I had a fun week with my clients. I have several men that I train and for whatever reason this week I thought let’s do some boxing drills. I put the gloves on them, I had the pads for them to hit, things were going so well until one them clocked me in the boob, hurt the rest of the day. Needles to say he got hit across the head with one of the pads.

Everyone should check out Trudy Ireland’s web site, she is a great gal. I’m going to the Nationals in November to watch and get pics taken, hoping to get her to take some pics with me.

I’m including a pic of my son this week so he’ll shut up.

See ya’ll next week

Saturday September 7, 2007

I can be such a bitch; my workouts are my time and really have a hard time-sharing that time with anyone. We have a figure competitor and female bodybuilder at the club that I ask if they wanted to workout with me, if they could get their schedules the same. At 1^st I thought, what the f@#k did I just do, but now I’m very glad. Seems as having the 3 of us makes the workout more intense. I’M SO FN SORE I CAN’T MOVE! One of the bitches did say something and laugh about me when I was getting into my zone (everyone has their little things they do before they lift)

I wanted to get up and slap her…….but I didn’t.

I’m so excited; Scott has sent me some of the rough drafts of my new site OMG!

I want to say a big thank you to Andy at amg-lite.com for all he does to promote women’s bodybuilding and me. Also want to say thank you to the fan that sent the warning about the virus going around on the Internet. So ya’ll be careful out there about were ya’ll are clicking . Never really know what it’s going to get ya.

As always, I so much appreciate ya’ll coming to my site. Please keep visiting me; I’m sure I’ll make it worth your while. And PLEASE vote for me daily @ female-bodybuilders.org/ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday (Labor Day) September 3, 2007

I’ve had a great week, my leg workout was so hard after lunging, front squats then 5 sets of leg extension\leg curl it was time to break down all the way from a 120lbs to 40lbs. At one point I stood up and screamed mercy, only to be told there is no mercy sit your ass back down. Friday was back day I made the mistake of THINKING, there were some issues going on at the club so I thought I would start on my own BIG MISTAKE. Let’s just say I got an ass chewing.

Friday night we went to a downtown block party with bands, food, and plenty of things to drink. Fun was had by all, maybe too much fun. I was a bad girl Saturday I didn’t workout, I’ll make up for it today.

I diet about 6mth out of the year getting ready for a show, I really had looked forward to my off season, and I have enjoyed myself, presently at 153lbs. I’m getting a new website built by Scott Styles, where my part will be to do weekly videochat interviews. What am I getting at, well my fat ass is now doing cardio again everyday and during the week my eating is clean right down to the damn rice cakes. I don’t want to disappoint my fans, so I want to look my best.

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Jameson Collins, he’s the man behind my website and he’s done a great job. This was his 1^st website and I thought it was great.

Thank you, sweetie.

Here in the great state of Tennessee it’s been over a 100 degrees every day for weeks. I’m so hot I can’t breath, needless to say I’m sitting here writing my blog in my underwear (I’ll leave what kind, and color to your imagination) rubbing ice on my chest just trying to stay cool. Now that we all have a visual let’s get on with it.

The biggest question that I’m getting is when are my new girls going to get seen. They are a bit shy, but eager to be seen. I want everything to be perfect for their coming out party. Just be patient, I’m currently working with Scott Styles on a new website that should be online in a few weeks with a members area page area, store and videochat schedule where I promise you will not be disappointed.

I finally got the dvd’s from the Jr Nationals, can’t wait to watch them, you never know really what you looked like to you get to see the video. Also helps to correct any mistakes you make on stage.

As always, thank ya’ll for you’re support.

Sunday 8/19/07

Question of the week comes from Dave
How did I development my legs, how much do I leg press?

Dave, I have leg pressed as much as 1000 lbs + but I don’t feel that heavy leg presses are the main way to build legs. There is only one answer to leg size SQUATS! I’m not talking smith machine squats, (not that there is anything wrong with it) I’m talking free squats. I watch with a smile daily as people load the leg press up with every 45lbs they can get their hands on, make a lot of noise and move it an ½ inch.
ALL SHOW, AND NO GROW. We are all blessed with a body part that is better than another, I feel my legs are a gift……unless I’m looking at some cute jeans and I can’t pull them up over the big tree trunks. 
Thanks Dave, ya’ll just keep those questions coming.

Next, it’s seems that people within my community know about my web site. So I just wanted to give a shout out to all of ya’ll. Thanks for all your support, and the kind words of encouragement.

This weekend was the Tennessee State Championship, good turn out of competitors and spectators as always a great show. Our very own Brian Moss placed 4th on his 1st try at the junior heavy weight class. We are very proud of him and he will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
This has been a very successful year for all our competitors, all placed in every show they did, and for most it was their 1st show.
I was happy to see female BB’s, sadly not the same quality that they had last year.
DISCLAIMER: you know opinions are like ass hole everyone has one…………..well
here's mine. The female BB’s could take a little clue from the figure girls, don’t go to prejudging with your hair knotted up like you’re going to workout in the yard. You’re not going to be any less of an athlete with your hair fixed and makeup on looking ready to go to battle. I’m not a man, never wanted to be a man…….I want to be the sexiest female with muscles. Again no one really cares what I say or feel……..I just want this sport to survive. If it is to, then we have to play the game, do what sells tickets.  

On a lighter much sexier note, I’m including 2 new pictures of my big new girls, hope ya’ll enjoy as much as I am.

Have a great week, and I’ll see ya’ll next Sunday.

Sunday 8/12/07

The week went by fast, my workouts are getting better. I had the best leg workout since Jr. Nationals. I rate my workouts on how loud I scream, it was a very noisy day. I struggle to keep my clients on the straight and narrow. I make them sign in every time they walk in the door, whether it is a session or not. Now, I have also started sending a mass email, sparing no ones feelings. We all need a goal, it's hard convincing people of that. I got a new car this week, a 2008 fully loaded Altima Coupe, I've got one word SWEET! Saturday was alot of fun, we had friends over for swimming and pizza. It's nice to have friends with no agendas and you can just be yourself. If anyone has questions for me, please email me and I will answer you on next weeks blog.

Have a great week!

Sunday 8/05/07

This past week was spent getting back to work, and trying to workout, notice I said trying. Wow, where does your strength go in a blink of an eye, whoever wrote that rule should be shot. We spent this weekend at Tunica MS at the casinos where our friend Chris & Chellie Caudy had The Battle on The Bluff Bodybuilding Contest. Disappointing, there were no female bodybuilders. GIRLS WHERE ARE YOU? You should never be afraid of being different, to be strong not only physically, but mentally. Forget the norm!!  I know I shouldn’t say this but, obviously I’m going to anyway……….figure girls………please get some mirrors, if your ass is still giggling YOU HAVE NOT DIETED ENOUGH! I have a lot of respect for the figure girls, my dear friend Brandie is one and she is so beautiful, and works very hard to be in shape. The sad thing about all of this is that sometimes people around us are not being objective, and that’s what we all need is the truth.

 On to the main reason we were there this weekend, our boy Brian Moss 25 years young…..who is really another son, I just didn’t give birth to him, was competing in the Jr heavy weight division. Sadly even though I feel this should have been a win, not saying that as a mother………SHOULD HAVE BEEN A WIN, it was 2^nd place.  Now I could blame this on the fact that our local gym competitors were on the judging panel, but it wasn’t that…..I feel they voted correctly, but other newbie judges and non-bodybuilding judges put a stake through this boy’s heart. That’s okay……mark my words this young man if he continues and brings up his weak points, will one day be on the stage with the great ones at the O.

Our son was also there and he will compete next year, and I’m so Proud!!!!!

Not just for that but, what he is doing for a living is truly his calling. I also met the new women in his life, I couldn’t be prouder.

I’ve been a little wordy today………sorry about that.

On a side note, all this reads a lot better with a deep southern ascent so do your best Gone With The Wind accent you can muster before reading this.

Tuesday 7/24/07

My surgery went well, actually better than I thought it would be.  I wasn’t sure what size I was going to be when I woke up, my doctor is very conservative. After several arguments with the husband about what size I was, it took a trip to Victoria Secrets to convince me of the actual size.  My daughter and I tried to get these puppies in a D cup; there was no way they were going. Yes boys and girls, the twins are DD.

After I’m healed and able to workout I’ll be taking some pics to show off the pretty ladies.

Ya’ll take care, and as always I appreciate your love and support.

Wednesday July 17, 07

Wanted to say Hi, and thanks to all my fans that have sent me emails. It's great hearing from everyone. A big THANK YOU to Tom Nine, Annie Rivieccio, and JC from hard fitness for some really great photo's at the Jr Nationals.

Just because I believe BIGGER is always better, going this week to get my Tit's enlarged, can't wait to take pictures and show everyone. I'll keep everyone updated, should I go DD, we'll have to see. Stay tune.

My best to you all!
