What a busy 2 weeks

Well we had Izabella's birthday party/sleep over, campfire, made smores, had her cousins birthday, pre-school Easter party, Easter egg hunt at church, Easter egg hunt at both grandparents house and I competed.

I made homeade ice-cream and it actually turned out.

Congratulations to a client/friend Missy Rosemeyer. She competed in her first show and place 5th in the tall class. I'm very proud of her. I got 4th in my short class. Now it's time to take it up a notch for Jr. Nationals.

I hope you all had a great Easter w/ family and friends.

In Memory of Jim

WHY ????

Why do all of the GOOD GUYS have to leave us so early. I met Jim back in 99 and since that day I knew he was the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. We spent 2 weeks out in Sturgis back in 2000 and he was the life of the party. He always brought dessert to Thursday night supper when us "bikers" would meet up at our friends house. He played Santa for the hospitals and the children's home. He wanted every kid to see Santa at Christmas. He played Santa for our bike club. Since we have had the girls we sold our bike last year and don't get out much to see our good ole' biker friends. Even though I didn't see him and his wonderful wife Linda as much as we used to-they would ALWAYS welcome us w/ a big hug and kiss. Jim passed away of cancer and today is his visitation. I wish we had our Harley to ride like everyone else but I'm sure Jim will understand:) It's killing me to type this. I had actually planned on blogging about my show I did this weekend-but that's not even important right now. Please put the Mooreheads in your thoughts and prayers today.

Cancer is such an ugly disease-I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest in Peace Big Daddy Moorehead. No one will ever forget your huge ASS smile. I hope you are drinking a COLD ONE!!!! LOVE YA

Spring Break YAHOOOO

My butt is still changing and I'm actually eating more:)

Say HI to MR BULL

Well Izabella is on Spring Break this week. It was finally nice enough to go to the park on Saturday. She rode her bike and I chased her pushing Rozalee. She kept saying faster faster-which made me get in a sprint session:)

I have a LONG gravel driveway and since the snow is gone Kenny finally got to get some new gravel put down. I would have Izabella get 1/2 way down then I would try to catch her-another great sprint day. Kenny was just waiting for 1 of us to wipe out.

I have a tip of the week for ya-do you walk on the balls of your feet, flat footed or heels first? If you want to work on your butt-DO NOT go buy a pair of those high dollar tenny shoes walk w/ your heels first. I have been doing this since January and it is making a difference. I was a sprinter in high school so I got in the habit of walking on my toes. Hard habits are hard to break but they make a difference.

Remember this week when you are training-when it gets tough PUSH through those last couple reps-THEY ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

One last thing-we had a make-up day at gymnastics yesterday and quess what-THERE WAS A DAD whose little girl was having a birthday party at the gym and he was sitting at her birthday table watching the basketball game on his laptop. I wanted to pick it up and throw it across the floor.

Thanks for the comments on that-I was hoping I wasn't the only one that thought that it was wrong not to watch your kids at the gym.

Spring is HERE !!!!!

Wacky Wednesday

Latisha looked awesome in the Figure International. Great Job Girl!!!

The sun is finally out !!!!! but the rain hasn't stopped:(

It was so nice to get to talk to some of you at the Arnold. What a crowded mess, that place has grown to be? There were a few things I wanted to see but couldn't even walk over to the booth, I wanted to get too. We were lucky enough to have our booth close to the bathroom, so it only took 15 minutes to get there instead of 30...

If you ever want to change up your breakfast you can add alittle green dye to your egg whites and have green eggs, like I made for Izabella's Pre-School class last week. They loved the green eggs and ham, dressing Wacky on Wednesday and in their PJ's on Friday. It's great to just have some fun w/ your kids. I took Izabella to her back handspring clinic at gymnastics and the stands were full of parents working on their computers on a SUNDAY. I was so saddened by them not even taking a 1 hour break away from work to watch their kids practice on their back handsprings. What if they were to get hurt or finally do one for the first time and the parent missed it because they had their head plastered to a computer screen? I know when Izabella did hers the first time, she yelled from the floor-"mommy did you see that". She was so proud-even if her coach helped a little:) It was all about me seeing it.

I've read both of Tony Dungy's books and WOW they can make you open your eyes to a few things. You all know, I love the Colt's but I just got alittle more respect for them.He talks about how to be a Great Coach and AWESOME PARENT. I may just hand that book to a mom at gymnastics this evening. Seriously-I know work is important but your kids are MORE important. Ok enough about that, I could go on for hours on this topic. If you want to borrow 1 of his books, let me know. I'd be happy to send it to ya. He has tons of great quotes in there along w/ stories about his success and struggles.

We had our first baby calf born last week too. It's great to see those new babies out in the field kicking and playing.

On Saturday we went to the circus. What a blast. I've never been to one before. Rozalee started to cry anytime the elephants would leave. The girls loved the clowns and crazy gymnasts or whatever they are hanging from ropes and the ceiling. It was a great 2 hour show. I want to know how they keep from breaking their neck as they twirl from a rope?

I have attached some pics from the last week. I have some from the Arnold on my facebook page that girls have sent me. I don't know how to take them from facebook and put on my web-site???

I'm also down another 5 pounds. I didn't get to train w/ Parrillo last week due to me taking care of my Grandma etc. I go see him on Wednesday so I won't be able to walk till Sunday. So at church I'll pray for pain relief:) LOL. I did put myself through a good leg workout on Friday though. Kenny said I got tiny quick-which is a surprise cause I usually get this tiny 5 days from a show not weeks before. I feel awesome.

My poor pup-he gets dressed up like a girl DAILY:) Just had to share that pic w/ ya.

I had 2 HARD WORKING women from Canada join me last week for a few days. I know they went back home w/ LOTS of stuff-not just shopping items/food items but knowledge too. They made me realize that we take alot for granted in the US. They do not have the food options we have here. It was my pleasure to host them here. They will both continue their journey up in Calgary.

I am down more weight in a week-about 3 pounds. I put my pics side by side from last week to this week. My shoulder is doing better but still swollen. It's amazing what hard work will do. Why go through the motions-get in the gym w/ a focus and DO IT. Push that weight, you don't make changes doing a workout 1/2 way. You have to have your mind in what you are doing. Get that MIND/Muscle connection WORKING. I pulled out some of Kenny's old Muscle & Fitness mags from the early 80's. Trust me they are nothing like they are today. There is actually articles in there worth reading. It teaches ya how to actually workout and work out hard. I'm not saying you have to puke every time you work out but you need a good hard core workout every once in awhile. Some of the lady bodybuilers wrote some really good articles about changing your body by actually picking up a bar and squatting!!! You will NOT look like a man if you do this but you will have nice legs/butt.

Hard work counts-but only if done correctly. Nothing is free in this world so you have to work for what you want. I want GREAT BUTT & Legs!!!!

Find what works for you and go do it.

Have a great week and stop by and see me Saturday at the Arnold.

Feb.19th already?

Where has the time gone? We have been snowed in for 2 weeks. The kids are now going to school till June 15th:( So much for a summer break. I'm ready for Spring already. We have been using the loader on tracks for cleaning the driveway. The girls love it. We finally had Izabella's school Valentine's Day party today.

I'm back on track-well I never fell off w/ the legs just the upper body training. I'm sticking to my diet 100%. Cardio is kicking and I'm loosing fat weekly-which I love. I did have a bad week the week of sx. I gained a little fat but I cut out some carbs and w/in 6 days I lost 2 pounds of fat:)

It's amazing what a little tweeking of a diet will do. I finally am doing a diet and I'm not starving. This is awesome. I can loose weight and not be ready to eat the kitchen table. I got my butt kicked by John again yesterday. Man, I can hardly walk today. I have decided that if I'm going to put myself through the pain and hardwork I go through w/ him-I'm not even eating 1 of Izabella's goldfish. NO WAY am I messing this hard work up. I think natural child birth is easier than his leg workouts and I'm being dead serious. That man knows his stuff.

I have 2 ladies spending a few days w/ me from Calgary Canada this weekend, so I'll be posting more pics soon.

Have a great blessed week

Shoulder

I returned from an awesome 2010 Calgary camp. It was nice and cold up there but well worth the trip. We got home on Monday night and I woke up Tuesday morning to go have shoulder sx. I won't be posting pics this week due to my arm being in a sling. I'm getting better daily. I honestly didn't think it would hurt as bad as it did. I had Kenny take the dressing off of it last night so I could at least take a bath. I'm heading for my check-up, hope it is where the dr wants it to be.
Have a Phat Weekend

GO COLTS
