YEEEHAW!!!! Welcome to RX Girl Mama!!! SO excited you are here! I am following along!!!!

Hi Gail! I'm here! Thank you!

[IslandGirl]

Yay, Island Girl is posting here....keep it up. Also I live in your old neighbor hood. I live on Oahu now, I was going to do the Paradise cup but I had some last minute Army training that knocked me out of it. I know that is a contest you have done well at in the past.

P.S. If you want to visit your old home sometime I can get cheap rooms if you don't have connections here anymore.

Hey there SS! Nice to see you again! You're in Hawaii? Lucky dawg! I didn't know you were in the Army? Since when? Where do you train at? Oh yes! Paradise Cup! I married him. LOLOL Yes, I have done that show......oooooo 3 years maybe? I'm sure you saw Cam's pic. So are you shooting for that show next year?

I may take you up on that offer. I still have family there, but we like staying separate since we're always on the go there and not wanting to put any one in any type of "hostess" position.

Thanks for stopping in!

I have been in the Army for about 17 years but only on active duty since 2006. I am at Schofield but I should be leaving about the time the Paradise cup rolls around again.

I seriously could get you a room at the Hale Koa in Wiakiki or at this place....

Aloha everyone! I'm not new to the sport, but I think this may be my first time running a journal here at Rx. I peep in every now and then and check out the women's section. I've gotten a few pm's asking me when the heck am I going to start my own journal. I've been so busy and just hadn't had the chance but due to a few circumstances that happen recently, I think now is the time. So here I am. There are a few of you that I already know here (you know who you are), but many of you, I have yet to meet. I love meeting new friends so hopefully in 2013 we'll be able to meet up at a show or something.

A little bit about me . I was born and raised in Hawaii. Got married and then moved to Colorado in 1997. I competed in bodybuilding when I lived in Hawaii and the last time I competed there was in 1995. In 2000 I started judging in Colorado. Judging and being involved in the NPC again gave me the itch to want to compete again. I came out of, so called 'retirement' in 2006 and competed both in bodybuilding and figure just to see where I woud fare at better. I won both divisions. Won an overall in figure as well. This was my second beginning.

I hope to be consistent in logging my workouts and a few thoughts. This journal will be sort of a get-a-way so to speak from my crazy, busy world.

Due to busy life, my training hasn't been too consistent Right now, I try to get in at least 3 sessions in a week....but ideal for me is 4. I do what I can. Clients always are #1 to me, but in recent past events, without going into too much details, I'm questioning how much is too much of caring do you provide as a coach and not end up getting your heart broken. Especially when you are honest and open and maybe it's not what the client wants to hear. Anyways...

Okay journal. lol I love trying out different methods of training. I've done DC, FST-7, MaxOT, Pyramid style. I love the change and gives my body a different approach of training. And I'm the type of person that needs a "plan" when I walk in the gym. I like knowing what exercises I am going to be doing and exactly how I will approach it. Here it explains a condensed version of my current training program MaxOT.

I modified the program slightly based off of equipment in my gym and tailored this program to my needs. I've been on it for about 4 weeks now. I will probably run it for about 12 weeks taking a break (a week) at about week 8. Depending how I'm feeling.

I'll be updating my journal right off the bat of all my MaxOT workouts. Just in case anyone was interested you can follow from my beginning.

Thanks for dropping by!

Not sure how come I never knew that. Oh well, I'm still jealous. lol

Love the Hale Koa! I think I have been to that place in Waianae. Hale Koa probably be better as it's closer to family. I really hope to make it home next year sometime. I'll let you know! Mahalo!
