Lessons to Learn

Hi All and Happy Holidays!

Well, I made it to Las Vegas for Fitness America Nationals and I came in 7th out of 18 beautiful women.  As always, I learned many things from my time on stage and to that end I have contacted a new coach to help me go to the next level in 2012.  Truly, I had a short time to get ready for Vegas as I returned from PA in July and then began working on my physique.  I learned that I needed to really rest from the stresses of that move and the effects stress has on my overall look.  I was pleasantly surprised by what I was able to achieve however I want to place higher and really look my best.  To that end I have contacted a new coach out of  CA and will begin working with him the beginning of the year.  Now I am resting and going back to 2 times a week of Hot Yoga (which I love) and 3 days of full body workouts.  This will take me through Christmas and by January I will be ready to kick it into gear for competitions in the summer.  Right now I am looking to compete in August here in AZ.

My husband and son, Chris are returning tonight from Las Vegas where they have been playing in a baseball tournament.  They made it to the semi finals and my son pitched a great game.  He threw 98 pitches and had 11 strikeouts.  Next weekend is another tournament and we will be going to a Sun Devil catching camp as well.  Never a dull moment around here.

Have any of you been setting any goals for 2012?  I have!  I love the use of the vision board.  I think it keeps me focused on the goals that I have for myself.  A few of the things for me are: #1 set up a voice home studio, #2 finish setting up home gym, #3 win at least 1 bikini competition the list goes on however you get the idea.

Well I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Peace,
Laura
