One of my rules in life is to try things at least once. I am not allowed to hate or say I can’t do something until I have tried it. If I have tried it and hate it or can’t do it, I am allowed to freely share my opinion and never do again if I don’t […]

2014 le tour challenge

As I have already admitted, I love a good challenge. The other day an email popped up on my little iphone. It was a call to compete –> Join the 2014 Le Tour Challenge – Map My Ride, so of course I clicked on it. It has all of my favourite things involved – biking, competition, […]

Being Competitive Can Be Counterproductive

June 26, 2014 by 6 Comments

I am seriously competitive. Playing ‘just for fun‘ is not fun. Now creaming someone, being the absolute best, winning, getting first…those things are fun for me. This would be why I don’t do well playing board games with my in-laws at Christmas. My in-laws are possibly the nicest people on the planet and board games are loads of […]

The Gift Came With The Grind

January 27, 2014 by 3 Comments

How often do you compare yourself to someone else? Weekly? Daily? Hourly? Minute by minute? If you are like me, it goes in waves. When I am working hard at my own dreams and doing what I am supposed to do in life, it is easy to keep my comparison to myself – only looking […]

3 AM Dreaming…Bodybuilding?

August 19, 2013 by 2 Comments

Once upon a time I actively competed in bodybuilding. It may be how you found this blog and me in the first place. I love competing. It is more than a bit crazy, intense, out there and all in – what’s not to love? Now I refer to myself as a bodybuilding hobbyist and help out backstage […]

Overachievers Anonymous

July 22, 2013 by 2 Comments

I have a confession to make.  There is such a thing as ‘overachieverness‘ and I think I have it. Ok, I know I have it. Overachieverness: (oh-vher-uh-chee-vur-neh-suh) The state of chasing more ambitions and ‘shoulds’ than one woman can accomplish  at any given time. Signs of being in this state include OCD behaviors, time monitoring, early […]

Today Matters And So Do You {What’s Beautiful}

May 19, 2013 by 3 Comments

I have a confession to make. Yesterday I didn’t shower or apply deodorant until 5:00 pm and I went out in public in this disheveled state. Does Home Depot actually count as being out in public? Oddly enough, I didn’t care and felt pretty dang cute (and stinky) while I scurried around the flooring section asking questions and getting […]

You Have One Job: Be Amazing

May 12, 2013 by 3 Comments

Yesterday I dropped into bed with swollen ankles, very sore feet, dream tan smudged all over my arms from hugging excited athletes, and a smile on my face. I was exhausted and very happy. I love bodybuilding shows. Helping people with the final push to make their dream come true is a privilege. It is an […]
