Friday, May 30, 2008 - Girls just want to have fun.. :

Last week was a good time to escape from the hectic pace of everyday life for a few days! What better place to go to recharge the batteries but Vegas. Most people go to Vegas to party hard and come back more worn out than when they left. My idea of a good time typically isn't getting drunk and staying out until 4 a.m.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good glass of wine and dancing on occasion. Unfortunately, there is no wine in my pre-contest diet! Instead I spent my time shopping, gambling, laying at the pool, laughing, and enjoying the company of my good friend Tina. And that is exactly what we did while staying at the Wynn.

Since I am prepping for the USA's there was some cardio going on too! It was just nice to get away and have some fun!

Now that I am starting to get really dialed in with my diet, I have begun capturing some more video footage of me working out in the gym. Check my members section in the up coming weeks to see more workouts and watch my progress as I prep for the USAs!

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - Hooters and Tans :

This past Monday night I was asked to represent Hollywood Tans as their spokesmodel and be a judge at the annual San Diego Hooter's Girl bikini contest. Even though Hooter's Girls have a different look than figure competitors, it was interesting to be on the other side of the table for once.

I can see how being a judge can be difficult because there are so many girls and you have such a short amount of time to evaluate them. You really have to have something that makes you stand out on stage that gets the judges attention. It is difficult when there are so many beautiful women but only a couple can be winners.

Just having the courage to compete and get on stage and strut your stuff makes everyone a winner in my eyes. Here a little photo of me in the Gaslamp District after spending the night at Hooter's!!!
