C is for.....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
To everyone who had the big hairy balls (hopefully well concealed within skimpy swimsuits) to get up on stage wearing aforementioned skimpy swimsuit and let themselves be judged... in so many ways... Before, during and after their time on stage...

Whether you won or placed or not, you competed. You worked long and hard in ways no one other than you will know, because all our journeys are different, they all begin from a different point and travel along different paths with a lot of different obstacles ad hopefully a lot of helping hands... but for those that stick at it and reach their goal, they all end up at the bottom of the stairs leading to the same stage... So Congratulations to all that made it this weekend.

COINCIDENCE....
Isn't it amazing how things can all lead back to each other... we are all joined in ways we will never comprehend..

I had no idea there was a deep and meaningful discussion going on through out the blogs... until this morning where I read one in which a comment was made about there being no good food or bad food, just how we handle the amounts of every food.. and the differing opinions on this subject....

I personally believe there is bad foods, I think that mass produced foods containing chemicals, preservatives and ingredients that have been proven over and over to harm the human body are bad foods.... It doesn't mean I don't eat them, I just try not to, and I have been pretty successful with not eating them for around 2 years now and hopefully I will stay away from them for a long time as I want to grow old for a long time.....

Then today while out and abut I picked up a book on sale called Eating Well for Optimum Health by Andrew Weil, M.D. and bugger me his 1st chapter discusses his belief that there are good and bad foods... of course I bought it and wow its a great book!! I am already up to chapter 2 and can't wait to read more..

I liked this coincidence as I feel it showed me how open and enlightened we are in our discussions on these blogs... as long as we remain open to discussions and let each other be individuals with views and beliefs as varied and amazing as our souls are...

CUDDLES...
I got a big one from Miss Lily for her birthday pressie yesterday and another great big one from Mr Jofus cause I'm his Nana... Yay, being a Nana Rocks!

COUGH...
Hubby has one and its lurking and he is fighting it but keeps crashing in an exhausted heap and I just don't handle sick people with any sort of patience (yes pun intended LOL) Poor thing, never mind, pat, pat... goooo to bed I don't want to catch it now with 13 sleeps to go... arghhhh

CRYSTALS....
Two bikinis are now blinged and ready to go... just as well Hubby did those before he got sick!!! LOL

CARBS...
Still missing those.... but hey 13 more sleeps... no big deal... sob, sob, sob....

CONCENTRATION...
This is what I now need to do for this coming week... Tomorrow is Chest day, cardio and then work, lots of posing practice this week, lots of concentrating on getting the last two weeks just right so all my had work over the past months comes together in perfect harmony....

Ok I'm off to eat my last meal of the day, then organise my stuff for the morning...
