Nov. 27- 2002

I was back in the gym today. It felt good. I was happy to be back home. I am really enjoying my training. It is life back to normal. Now- my main goal is to stay close to my competition weight. I am going to give it my best effort. I really think I will have an easier time getting ready for competition and have less cardio to do --- etc.. which will better keep my legs full and in condition

I want to reach out to one of my friends-- Malea. She took the time to come out to Dallas to support me in my quest to compete-- despite knowing that the chances of my competing were unlikely. She has always been there for me. Once I realized that I wasn't competing - I decided to schedule a ton of photo shoots and help maximize my exposure. I didn't get to spend much time with her or some of my other friends.

It was very difficult juggling my friends. I hope that they all understand. I feel like I am doing damage control. I had to make a million phone calls to try and make all my wrongs a right. I wish I could have spent more time with those that came a saw me -- in hopes of competing.

I am going to be away this weekend. I am going to Detroit and then to Windsor to see Nim Kings show and Dave guest pose.

My digital camera was stolen from my suitcase-- if anyone wants to donate one-- let me know.
