Exciting Changes!!!

If your a blogger and a gym freak then you already know time is flying by on a weekly basis and its extremely hard to come up with blogs everyday. So I have incredible news.........yes I do!!!

My website will be officially up and running by October 15th, 2013. It's coming along fantastically thanks to some of my computer savvy and nerdy friends lol. The website will feature healthy recipes, healthy living tips, beauty and fashion tips, workouts, and yes a career and home section. OMG Dontaye!!! I know I know!! I won't be doing it alone though. I will be recruiting some wonderful women to work on my team as well. We will all contribute to the blog weekly. I will also be taking guest bloggers on a monthly basis to. Oh yeah and I did for get to mention you will be able shop on this site as well. I'm so excited!!

There's nothing like having a community of women to follow along with that know the everyday struggles of getting into shape, eating healthy, looking fabulous, and staying on top of everything in the home. This site will be interactive and filled with great tips. You will also be able to participate in webinars and monthly conference calls. 

So stay tuned everyone. Things are about to get real over here and I'm loving every bit of it.

Fitness Atlantic

It's finally hit me that it's almost been a year that I have been training for competitions and yet to do my first one. I have been postponing due to the fact that I have wanted to wait until I'm extremely ready to get out on stage and kick ass. Recently I discovered the WBFF which is like a beauty pageant for women who pride themselves in lifting iron and looking good. What I love about this federation is that you get a chance to show people your serious and playful side. So let me break it down a little for you.

I will be entering two categories; bikini diva and fitness model. For each category you have two rounds. For bikini diva you have one round of bikini and a second round of evening gown wear. For fitness model you have one round of bikini and the second round of some kind of theme wear. What do I mean by theme? You actually have to dress up in some kind of costume that shows off your best features. I grabbed a couple pics for you guys. Take a look.

Great example of bikini by Robyn Baldwin. 

The evening gowns selected by some WBFF competitors.

Awesome theme wear from Ashley Horner. 

So as you can tell, this is a pretty great show. I'm super excited and can't wait to be a part of it. So you can check me out April 12th, 2014 in Connecticut. Until then................
