I am sorry that it has been over a week since I updated! I have had to put my heart and soul into getting this body into shape-- if I even want to be seen in Dallas. Even if I do not compete- I want to at least be able to schedule photo shoots, etc.. I am not saying for sure--- yes or no. I am going to keep training, dieting like crazy, and see if I can get this body into shape. If I do not look as good as I need to --- then, I sit it out.

The pictures below are from the USA 2002. I keep remembering what a great time I had in Vegas competing. It was such a fun competition. I loved my posing routine, my posing suits, etc... I felt everything was right on.

As for this National's- I could have made my life a lot easier had I gotten my shit together. I kept riding the wave-- thought that my body would be able to bounce right back. In the end- it just maintained! My heart needed to be in the game much earlier. When I finally got it together- it was a definite late start. But- life is a learning experience. I am getting more in touch with my body year after year. It is amazing. I am going to try my hardest to stay leaner this off-season. I just can't take the whole HARD CORE dieting that is involved when you gain 20-30-40# above your contest weight. Those days are over.
