Mrs.Texas 2009

Yesterday, April 26th, BJ and I had the pleasure of going to the 2009 Mrs.Texas beauty pageant to watch our friend and client Jennifer Johnson represent our town of Frisco.

Neither of us have ever been to a pageant so we really didn't know what to expect. It was actually a lot of fun and we had a great time!

Unfortunately, Jennifer did not win. That was really upsetting to all of us (her family and friends) because we really thought she had it in the bag. She looked FABULOUS in her swim suit and just STUNNING in her evening gown. She did stumble a little on the first question, but came back strong with the second.

Jennifer placed 3rd Runner-up, but the really great part was they had an award for the "Best body in a swim suit" (not sure what the exact award is), AND SHE WON!!!! Hands down she had the best body there! Jennifer was the only one who actually looked like she had muscle and was fit. BJ and I were so proud of that because that is why she hired BJ on for...make her look H-O-T in a bikini! Oh and she got this award after having 2 kids!!!!

Even though Jennifer did not win Mrs.Texas, I can tell you she worked harder than ANY of the other contestants. Whether it be on her body, her mind or her soul. She is the epitome of what Mrs.Texas should be.

BJ and I could not be more proud of Jennifer and how hard she has worked. I have never seen someone with such determination and strong will to get a job done. Oh and by the way...she only worked with BJ for 8 weeks!!! I don't know what Jennifer is going to move onto next. She will hold the title of Mrs.Frisco for the rest of the year, and who knows...maybe she will give Mrs.Texas one more shot!

New Supplements are AWESOME!!!!

I started my new supplements last Wednesday and I don't know if it is a "mind-game thing" or what but I feel fantastic!!

I feel like I have more energy throughout the day. I get better sleep at night. My food is digested much better (I won't go into detail about that one...just trust me!). My workouts are going great! Just hoping I don't come down.

As for my workouts, I am going back to the workouts that got me conditioned, strong and a slimmer body. Basically back to the basics. I am doing Press/Pull up ladders and swings or snatches on T/TH/Sat and then M/W I have been doing the 6am boot camp class that BJ teaches. I thought I worked hard...these people work hard!

That is about it...

I am hoping to drop a couple of pounds before I go back to WI in June for my mom's 60th birthday.

Till next time...

Hair Analysis Test Results

Haven't blogged on here for awhile...been pretty busy with...EVERYTHING! But I am happy to report my hair analysis test came back and things are going in the right direction!!! I knew I was feeling great since PJ Wilson, DC started me on the supplements, but now it is on paper.

BJ and I had a phone consultation with PJ yesterday just to go over our tests. PJ said that what I am seeing on the tests is what is truly going on with my body and now we can get down to the nitty-gritty (my words, not his!).

Some of the things that are improving is my adrenals are not going 10000 miles a minute. To achieve this I have cut back on my caffeine (ugh!) and have really increased my sleep. I am also getting rid of a lot of calcium from my muscle tissue...again a good thing. And of course...my thyroid is way too low.

So what to do about all that? Well I still need to tweak my diet. I am a sweet tooth whore...I will admit to that. But I will be taking a different supplement that will help with not only my sugar cravings, but my blood sugar also. And I will be starting on some high doses of iodine. PJ wrote a great blog post on iodine and how we as Americans don't get nearly enough.

There is a lot more, but until I start taking everything and really tweaking my diet I won't know exactly how I am doing. I should be starting everything within the next week or so and then I will keep you updated.
