Workout wise, I've been on point, I've placed myself under the care of Genie over at Genie's Journey, she wrote me out a great plan and is keeping me accountable with my nutrition.. I've been keeping up with her blog for several years now and am always impressed with the package that she brings to the stage, plus she is a super nice girl and she is going to be a blast to work with.. I really want to compete before I turn 40. I'm aiming for a small bodybuilding show next year in my area before I do something bigger..
Today, I treated my coworkers to some gluten free cupcakes made by one of our local bakeries.. I confess, i had one too because I just coulden't resist and after all I paid for them :0) So if you are in my local area and are intreseted in gluten free, organic and even vegan items check these guys out.. No these were not on my plan.. BOO!!! So I'm going to have to be good on the nutrition front for the rest of the week
So I've had a rough six months, going through a divorce that was neccessary but still painful, dealing with the baggage that the last 5 years has brought me.. wont go into all the details because this is a public blog and out of respect for the ex's family I prefer to keep it quiet. I've been floundering around trying to do things that are healthy for myself and well I've been spending way way too much money to boot.. anyway, i picked up a book recently that I read a long time ago and started reading it again.. The name of the book is called You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.. I love, love, love Louise and everything that she teaches.. she teaches us to love ourselves which has been a very very hard thing for me to do... probably a big reason why the last 5 years of my life has been a disaster, you would think it would be easy to love yourself but I look back on my life these past few years and realize that if I loved myself I would not have stayed in a situation for so long that was destroying me and my self esteem but alas easier said then done so thats what I'm working on right now, I have a lot of healing to do before I can even think about getting myself into another relationship and honestly the thought of getting into another relationship scares the shit out of me anyway, I have found that it's much easier to be alone with my dog and my family then to deal with the drama of someone else..
anyway here is the book and a link to her website
