That's sick! And hour and 30?? Well at the moment I'm really trying to get my conditioning up. I can run or cycle for hours but that intense, full body contractions that comes with fighting is something Im still getting used to. But I knew this was for me because in my very first lesson, I put my coach in an arm bar, haha! Good times.

Yea, Im feeling like that too now. Need to refuel. Glad you like the pic! I think I'm going to munch on some yogurt. Going to dinner soon and I don't want to spoil it! :)

You deadlifted a car...that is AMAZING! Rock on! I'm not competing anymore in figure. Long story, but in a nutshell, I was tired of being told to take steroids to move up the ranks. All the best to you!!

My dear friend! Good to hear from you. Thanksgiving was amazing. I ate like a starved lineman...and kept eating throughout the whole weekend, but thankfully didn't gain any weight. guess my body needed the calories to recover. how was yours??? i hope you feasted. I just came from the mall with a much needed dose of retail therapy. good times :)

Too cool!!!! I say go for it. If you need any coaching, let me know! :) Have you found a show date yet?

Hi Smiley!! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well :( Drink lots of hot tea with honey. Help soothe the throat. Try not to train now because it will prolong your recovery. Better to take the time now to get well and hit the weights later with even more gusto, right? Training on this end is well! Just working on kicking as much booty as possible. I love take downs :D

Super Grover was THE MAN!!! But my all time favorite was Cookie Monster. I'm just like him when I see a plate of freshly made cookies....AAAARGHGHHGHH (cookie monster sounds, lol).

That would be insane if I were to debut on the UFC...fighting Carano no less :D But like I always say, one step at a time. Since you confessed a secret, I will say one of mine: I love watching Sesame Street just to feel good and relax :P Kiddish, yes. Immature of me, probably. But I finally get a chance to not worry about life. And to me, that defies age.

LOL. You're hilarious. Good job on cooking your own meals! I have some great recipes for just about anything so let me know if you need any new ones :) Two-a-days a brutal. But so worth it. Just remember to factor in recovery!!

I'm so glad you're able to still do your thing. It's always so sad when someone we love leaves us, but we must remember that there is more to life than just our physical bodies. We will keep living, just not in the same way we were before. You don't have to thank me for being a good friend. That's what friends are suppose to be anyway! :) Hows the training coming along by the way???

Oh dear, I'm so sorry for your loss! But one day you'll see her again. As always, I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

Oct 12, 2009 5:55pm

I pray your family is ok Smiley. What happened if you don't mind me asking? As far as the shoot is concerned, don't worry about it. If this is something you were meant to do, you will have many more opportunities in front of you. Your journey has just begun! And not to sound cheesy but I must quote good ol' Dr. Seuss, "Oh the places you'll go!" LOL!! :D

You know, I can't remember where I heard that quote, but when I did, I knew it made sense. We always want what we don't have as our desires are constantly changing. But this is partly because of restless souls searching for the peace and love it requires. For some, a lifetime isn't enough time to figure out what they want and that's a shame. A bit of Friday zen for ya ;)

I've heard of Nuwear. They're pretty new on the scene. But yes, they do serve an "alternative" lifestyle... I say go for it because it could open so many other doors for you. But as always, don't do anything you're not comfortable doing, especially when it comes to modeling. If you're not comfortable, the pictures will show. I have every confidence in you!!!

Oct 2, 2009 5:48am

Still, just make sure you feel comfortable at the shoot. Is he an agent?

Oct 1, 2009 7:07pm

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You've been discovered :) I'm soo happy for you. But now here starts the tough questions. Make sure whoever this gentleman is works through a reputable agency with proof. There are too many schemers out there who just want your money. Also, don't sign ANYTHING if you have to pay up front (other than for comp cards). Underwear modeling is a great opportunity! Just make sure the shoot and all professionals are legitimate. Keep me posted with this!!! Yay!!!! :)

You know I've got your back ;)

Sep 29, 2009 10:33am

hey, you never know! my coach really thinks i've got an innate fighting ability so he's pushing me big time. but im so honored he thinks that way. whatever is in God's plan for me, i will do, as long as im shown the way. Thats how i see it.

Sep 28, 2009 4:05am

Hi! Mags is doing alright. Still a crazy little pup as always, but thankfully not in my stuff as much, ha! Started an MMA class to supplement my training and its soo much fun. The coach thinks I'm a natural ;) And why are you so sore? Did you kick your own arse?

Sep 10, 2009 11:52am

Smiley! So good to hear from you. That is so great you've decided to go into the service. My dad was in the air force so I'm all for the wings :) Things on this end HAVE been crazy but what can ya do. Just roll with the punches. As long as we can all stay healthy and happy and put a little good in the world, that's all I hope for.
