2006 diet season has begun :)

Friday, Kelly and I went to visit Karen (KHP Designs) and as always, Karen is awesome and her puppies are nuts!--She has these two ADORABLE dogs who have the best personalities :) She's giving my suits a makeover and creating new suits for Kelly--Kelly looked gorgeous in the test suits. I can't wait to see ALL of this season's suits and costumes when they are done and on stage. I'm SOOOO pumped to see how Karen works her magic on my suits--i can always count on her to make me "shine"and make me feel awesome. Thanks Karen :)
The first week of dieting is officially complete and I feel pretty good with the exception of a little stress. The leg workout this week was brutal and I hurt for days after but in reality it felt great and I can't wait to see how my legs have improved this year. Darrin has really pushed me and kicked up our leg workouts during the off season. At the beginning of the week I received all my supplements courtesy of Allmax and I feel everything is already coming together and tighten up. Now we'll see what the calipers have to say today. We don't use the scale as a tracking method--it doesn't give an accurate measurement of fat loss or muscle gain.

A couple days ago, we found out one of Darrin's long time friends is getting married this year...Congratulations to Dwayne MacDonald "D-Mac". We wish you all the best and can't wait to see you and Melissa "tie the knot". Last night we went over to see Tim and Lindsay's new home, it's beautiful!! The area is still under construction but their home is perfect and Lindsay's engagement ring is absolutely gorgeous-it sparkles on her finger. Thanks for having us over guys :)

I saw another girlfriend of mine in the grocery store last night but never got the chance to talk to her. Jackie "aka" Jake is getting ready to do the mississauga (figure) show this year. This will be her second year competing. I hope your dieting and training are going well Jake, I'll see you soon.

Oh, I hear Darrin waking up and moving around upstairs, I guess its time to pull the calipers and seee what's happening in the fat loss department. Wish me luck :)

(special thanks to Darrin Robinson and Rick Oliver for the many different back shots)
