Wow, where does time go! Its been over a year since I announced my retirement from competitions. Since then I have had knee surgery, been in rehab for injuries twice and on Dec. 20th on our way to visit my family in SC we had a very bad car accident....not to mention a few other life changing events. 2008 was a very eventful yr! I also went back to my fire station and rejoined! I was a firefighter and Emt for 7 yrs before I became Ifbb pro and decided to take a break from the fire station, as I had far to much going on between working and training for shows. Nov. 2008 I decided to go back...but since my car wreck in Dec. I am now unable to make calls and I am out of the gym until the Drs say so. I am very upset about that because the gym is my happy place and has been for 26 yrs! But, I am blessed to be here after such a close call and will do whatever I have to do to get back to my old self.I have new back and neck problems which I will be in physical therapy for..again! I am unsure of what other things the Drs will have in store at this point..its still to early. But my hopes are to be back in the gym 100%...that's my goal!

 

My other goals for 2009 are to keep wearing my seat belt and watch the others on the road and know that not everyone is paying attention! On a positive note my husband and I are working on a new Master trainer certification for personal trainers, so we will have even more knowledge when we move to Florida and start working there!  You cant ever know enough! I will also be taking this time to work on my photography skills:) I plan on doing some shoots at npc fitness shows this yr, which I am very excited about! So even though I am out of the gym for now..I will still stay busy and work on my other adventures. I will now have more time to focus on my fitness clients. I want to wish everyone all the best in 2009! Feel free to e-mail me because I love hearing from you! One last thing...my DVD has been selling pretty well, if you want to purchase it you just go to my "store" and I will send it right out to you!!! I promise you that you have never seen a documentary like this one!! It has gotten awesome reviews!! Have a great, safe happy, healthy year!!

  God bless
