Showtime

Where to begin... I keep getting worse about posting updates! Last weekend was the NPC NC State show in High Point and I am proud to say that I placed 4th in Bikini Class A. Moreover, I am very pleased with the changes in my body since January and really like carrying a bit more muscle, even if my glutes are constantly sore! I got to see a lot of old friends and hang out with my two new Jillfit girls Nina and Faizah backstage. I was a mess for the morning show though because I drove all the way to High Point WITHOUT my makeup and had to make a mad dash to Winston to get it an then have Neely put it on before going on-stage, craziness!

Now it's time to prepare for the FAME show in May! I am going to enter Fitness Model and Bikini so we'll see what happens!

Spring into SUMMER

Ahhh... the weather has been gorgeous and in the 80s for the past 5 days or so here in beautiful NC and we have taken absolute advantage of it! Starting with last weekend, Wiggy and I went to Greensboro for our belated Valentines Day and Birthday celebration. We arrived in GSO in the early afternoon and went to the new Civil Rights Museum that opened in February. It was a wonderful experience, yet it's hard to believe that things were so different in this country for African Americans even 50 years ago. The experience was quite eye opening. Next, we checked into the Proximity and took a long nap on the super comfy beds before time to get ready for dinner. We got dressed up and then headed to the Green Valley Grill just up the road for some tasty salmon and farro. Came back to our room and met up with one of Wiggy's fellow interns, Thomas and his girlfriend Katie. We headed out on the town until far too late for dancing (my fave was the rooftop even though it was a bit chilly). Sunday morning was leisurely and we finished with a nice clean brunch of egg white and chicken omlets with steel cut oats at Printworks, the bistro on site. It really was a lovely weekend!

This past weekend was Easter! We spent Friday evening with our good friends, new parents Neil and Ashley Morgan. It was great to catch up and spend time with baby Fletcher! Saturday was a super busy day of "getting the yard cleaned up, flowers planted, and garden ready". It took all day and we were exhausted, yet made it out for my steak and potato dinner! Yesterday was a nice hike at Pilot Mountain and then relaxing for the evening and dinner on the porch. It truly feels like summer in the South and I am a happy lady!

Wiggy is back on inpatient this month so that is an adjustment, but it's not too bad as he works NO Saturdays! I am less than a week out from the NPC State show so a bit carb deprived right now, but overall feeling good!

I'm excited for Church tonight and to celebrate the fact that He has Risen!!!
