Well it has been a week since my last entry and well life just happens. Soccer has been keeping me on my toes as well as prep for FAP in Vegas.

I had a big diet change over the weekend--which is cool and scary all at the same time. But as I tell all my clients that I work with--- if you always do the same thing--your results will be what? Exactly NOTHING! So it will be a challenge but I totally embrace and will run full throttle with it. I actually tried a new source of protein last night--My family thought that I was crazy but actually it was not too bad. I had Tempeh. It is made from soy and it is 100% vegan. I just cut it up and put it in the skillet with 1 tsp of olive oil and wella dinner was serve.

My husband had a Dinning Out on Friday night--it's a big navy thing. To be totally honest it's just a reason to go out and get drunk. It's a drinking game--if you get up from the table and don't asked to be excused you drink, if you swear you drink and so on and so on. Well if any of your know my husband and profanity--it is a real art form for him. Let just say we were home by 11:30 and he spent most of the evening "resting" in the bathroom. All in all we had a great time--I was the D and D. So I was alcohol free.

This week brings new challenges with my workouts--I have added some incline walking to my cardio on top of the already scheduled cardio that I have. We all have our areas--well mine is the unforgiving BOOTY!!!! It is what it is and I just got to keep working on it.

I am still working on getting my Sunday Sessions up and running and should get it all maped out this week.

If you are on PBO don't forget to get you homework in by Wednesday. We should be getting some more come Thursday for October. We all had a month to complete it--so no excuses.

Anyway I am off to the gym to get some leg work in before I have my first class at the Navy Base(already taught Spin this morning). Hope that you all have a great week!:)

Happy Fall Everyone,
Man what a start to a great week. My perspective Sunday Sessions I think will be up and running by the end of October just like I mention in my last entry. I am working on ironing out the room and getting the word out. Super excited.

I finally locked in my room for Vegas. I am a total Vegas Virgin. Can you believe it with all the traveling I have done being married to a great guy in the military, I have yet to visit the Sin City? I will for sure be a dear in the headlights.

I got my tanning set up with Kelly and I anyone who is still needing someone to do the Dirty work for you. Check out Kelly's Website completelyflawless@yahoo.com . She is great and no mess for you. Total win win here gals.

I just finished ordering my suit for the Savage Photo shoot. Don't wait ladies--the only one online that I saw left was the Plain white one--very cute but if you wanted the one with color--I did not see anymore. No worries you have a ton of options no matter what your body type is. They must have 5 different of tops and bottoms in the plain white style.

I hope that everyone lives this day to it's fullest and remember you can't get that moment back make every second count.

Best,
T

What a major productive day Thursday turned out to be!!!!!!!! Talked with a gym that actually saught out my services. Don't know how they got my name but man what a good feeling. Anyway I will be up and running Sunday Sessions by the end of October. Super excited!!!!!

Had an amazing workout yesterday--with an amazing friend---Wow talk about feeling the burn......and to top it off I finally have a training date for Big Brothers Big Sisters. So that will be in a couple of weeks--what is a 2 hour training--when you have the opportunity to change a little kids life.

The girls have soccer this weekend and I will be fitting in a JACOBS LADDER workout either on Saturday or Sunday. Can't wait that thing kicks my butt in all directions--up, down and sideways.

All in all a pretty good week----I will be at the 9 week mark this weekend for Vegas and I can't wait until the next diet change--although it is tough it's just makes me more determined to work even harder.

Have a great weekend,
T

Here is the skinny---I am about 9 weeks out and I have a total competition going on with a friend of mine whose body is amazing(you know who you are ASHLEY)-----she just competed and will be in Vegas--so it is on big time.

Life has been good--just took on another client and have a potential job that I will be talking with today(fingers crossed)--Diet is on track and not much has changed as far as that goes---had an amazing teleconference the other night with my coach( CATHY SAVAGE) and the lovely ladies of Team Savage--it was all about the booty---great info and reminders why we keep our diet clean. I am off to the gym to get a crazy old functional training done. What I mean by old is that it is an old one that was sent out back in April 08--let's just say it is going to kick my booty. I will give you all details after I do it.

I am still working with Big Brother Big Sister but now I am waiting on going through that necessary training and finger printing--which the next class is not offered until the middle of October. No worries--it will happen just not as fast as I would like it to.

Anyway off to the gym and then off to that new job opportunity--have a great day and I will let you all know what happens.

Good Morning All,
Had a restless night last night--thinking about all the events coming up this fall. Have you ever had a night where you just can't turn your brain off? Well I had one last night. Bummer too because I rarely get a chance to sleep in and well I was up at 2am and again at 6am. Augh!!!! I keep thinking about my savage friend Angela Sweet--we had a chance to talk via Facebook last night and she has decided like myself to try out the fitness side of competing. Let me just tell you it is one of my year out goals. Next year I will be in Vegas taking the leap from just Figure to Figure and Fitness. I just nee to to chat with Cathy and start the ball rolling. So with that on my mind I started to also think about this season's contests that are all to soon aproaching. We have Tampa nad Orlando which both are great ofcorse the Vegas one is the Gold Nugget of fall shows.

But with all that going on I am just like everyother competitor scared that I am not on target or if I push harder will I look better--but as we all know harder does not always mean better. The kids are going to challenge me this season with my workouts and food with all the crazy amounts of soccer games and tornaments we have to go to. we had a tournament over this labor day weekend--it was all good i was able to plan everything out and take care of my workouts before the weekend even started. I also got in the gym this morning for legs and will hit the cardio later on tonight.

I am still waiting on Big Brother Big Sister---I talked with one person but I needd to schedule a time to go in and take a class as well as get myself finger printed(waiting for that person to call me back). They really have some amazing programs for military kids. So I have made it my short term goal to get as many active duty people involved and start volunteering some time with these kids that have been left behind. If you need any information on it please feel free to contact me either way for military kids or not.

As far todays food goes I have had 2 meals

Apple
1/2 cup oats
5 egg whites

Leg workout--32 oz water

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup oats
6 egg whites

I'll keep you all posted........hope that you all enjoy your long weekend.

On a great phone call with Cathy tonight. Will update you all later........

Augh!!!! Morning came to soon --well we are participating in our first FLORIDA Soccer Tournament. And well it is sad not to be playing with our old friends from RI.

Had my cheat meal this week at home--I just could not wait till Friday night -- life cereal was calling me name. It was so good---had an amazing workout yesterday. Did the beautiful backside. Man good thing I am not teaching this morning--my butt check are still on fire.

Got my hair done and also knocked out a potential sponsor. Keep your fingers crossed--my hair salon which by the LINDA @ SALON LA VIE is awesome. If you are ever in Jacksonville my peeps look her up--also going to get a facial for the first time the end of the month with Judy--I hear she is amazing as well--with all these great people in my back pocket I have no reason to have a bad hair of face day.

Had a bowl of (1/2 cup) oats with protein mixed in and (1/2 cup) blueberries topped off with some coffee. Should be a pretty good day if I keep on top of eating the right way--hard when you are out at the soccer fields but if you know me I have my bag full of goodies---Can of tuna and I also packed some fresh green beans --don't forget the water!!!

Hoping to get to the gym to be punished by the STEPMILL!!!! We have a love hate relationship.

Have a good one..........

It has been a super productive morning!!! Yeah me! Headed out to the gym this morning to get my DIVA Workout on!!!!! Can you say Amazing--Loved It--Gotta Have It!!! Savage ladies if you have not had time to check out the extra workout---just throw caution to the wind and go for it!!! Total Fun--don't get me wrong...hard as hell but great none the less. after that I hit the weights Thelma and Louise style--some of you know what I am taking about.

Hoping to hear back from the Boys and girls Club today...really want to work with some kids on my days off during the week.

Also maybe heading to Vegas--thought my hopes were stamped out but Aaron's schedule has changed again--it's great to have the military have so much control over ones life--Things will have a way of working themselves out no matter what I am just glad that I may get the holidays with my hubby.

Maddy has been dealing with this nasty cold/flu thing all week and yes I am the current victim to fall into to it claws--no fever as of yet but man my throat is super soar---I just keep chugging water and hope to drowned this thing out.

So if you are planning a contest this season or maybe thinking about it--just do----it what do you have to lose--you really have so much more to gain!

Ok well it has been along time since my last entry and man I can't believe time has gone by so fast. I am looking at 8 weeks out and feel like before you know it Tampa will be on my coat tails.

I have been super busy with a short but sweet vacation to VA Beach for a wedding, soccer, school(for the kids) and work as well as trying to get my personal training and Ambassador training going. Man if only they would grant me more hours in the day.

I am trying to branch out and volunteer some of my time with the Boys and Girls Club--totally looking forward to starting that.

I am currently working with a great kid--I call her a kid because she is 10 years younger than I am --which really does not make her a kid but you know what I mean and she will be competing in her first competition in November in the Bikini Class--she is an amazing lady!!!


Well I am off to get some grub on the table for the family and I promise to stay on top of this.............
