Triathalon Motivation

April 30, 2009 fitness April 30, 2009

I found this on Jensjourney.com – a great blog that’s not about Figure or Bodybuilding but I think all athletes need to stick together….learn from each other, motivate each other and gain strength from each other…

Priorities

April 29, 2009 fitness April 29, 2009

I have been thinking a while about priorities. I feel like some days there isn’t any time to relax, unwind and recover so that I can start all over the next day and do it again. I was trying to decide what to give up! I had a few choices:Work – NO!Masters – Maybe, but I really don’t want to be a quitterWorkouts – Maybe, but I feel horrible when I put that off b/c I’m too busyDiet – Same as workoutsHousework -Maybe, but I can’t live and work in a home that is filthy!I don’t want to be a quitter.

Smashfit.com & Heather Frey

April 26, 2009 eating disorders April 26, 2009

I thought I would introduce you all to Heather Frey and Smashfit if you are not already familiar. You can add her and her Smashfit group on Facebook. The reason I suggest this is that she sends GREAT Facebook messages. They are not about training and that if you do 25 crunches a day you’ll have abs of steel by June….instead they are mental and pscyhological messages about how to stay focused and keep on the right track, which is what we all need now and then, right?I attached a sample of one of those messages above. Also, her site has some really great articles also.My favorite so far….http://www.smashfit.com/article.php?aid=7She also has a new shirt that she’s selling once you’re fan of …

Self portrait

While I was taking pictures of my hair for the previous post, I decided to steal Shawna’s idea for a self portrait. I always take photos straight on so I thought it’d be neat to see a photo of me from a different angle. Again, I’m stealing Shawna’s idea…thanks friend!

Product

April 14, 2009 curly hair April 14, 2009

I was asked a while ago to post on curly hair products but haven’t yet! I got some new products and thought I’d post those products as well as how my hair looks w/ them…both in the morning and after a full day at work!!! True test, right??!!Above photos – LEFT is in the morning and the RIGHT is after all day at work (without touching my hair…don’t touch curly hair once it’s styled…that creates frizz!!!)I use Redken Fresh Curls as my shampoo and conditioner. I have used their styling products in the past and liked them ok. I felt like some of them weren’t strong enough and others made my hair too crunchy….it’s always worth a shot to see if you like them …
