So I am leaning towards doing USA's and seeing how I stand up to the other girls and then maybe if I am not in the poorhouse I may do Nats this year.  It is hard to even think about dieting right now but it is crazy but I am really missing the stage.  You would not believe what a rush it is to be on stage and be in a building filled with people who look like you or at least are in some way in love with the sport.  This is a truly great feeling when you live in NC where no one looks like you.  It would be cool if there were more female bodybuilders but at the same time I really like being different.  It makes you kinda feel special....lol...I am trying to continue to add more and more content to my site.  I would love to continue to get feedback about what you think I should have or what would be cool on my site.  Thanks for reading....

Ah the new year.  New Year's resolutions, people comitting themselves to improving their health by dieting and exercising more.  I think it's great!  It means for a busy time at work, and makes my training a bit more challenging at the gym, but I think it's great that for a brief few weeks, people are focussed on their health.

Gym memberships, like so many other things in our lives these days, come with contracts written by lawyers.  To cancel some of these contracts can be an outright nightmare.  In our facility there are no contracts so everything is much simpler on the sales side.  Having recently moved to be closer to work, I am now too far away form my old gym to realistically have it as an option for my training.  With no traffic the round trip is in excess of an hour and ten minutes.  I simply do not have the luxury of this much extra time every day, or multiple times a day for that matter.  So I looked at my contract to learn the cancellation policy related to relocation.  The arbitrary number the gym came up with is 30 miles, which is as good a number as any I suppose.  The problem is, I moved 26 miles away from the gym.  Too far away to go to the club, but too close to cancel.  That is a real problem.

I will be sending an email over to them later today to attempt to cancel, though this will be my third attempt to cancel.  I could really use the $700 plus that this membership (that I can't use) will cost me this year.  I could use it to prepare for this year's competitions.  I am hopeful that the general manager will be flexible in his interpretation of the "too far away" clause in my contract.  This is yet to be seen.  I will let you know how it turns out though for sure! 

Anyway, back to work, look forward to seeing all of you out at an NPC or IFBB event this year.  Make sure you stop by and say Hi!
