After working for a week trying to build a website that I purchased and failing, calling customer service, realizing that what I purchased was not going to do what I wanted it to do, they recommended I use wordpress. So.....

Well let me just tell you how crazy that last week has turned out to be. So just to back it up a week or two.. I found out about a sponsorship that ALLMAX was doing on facebook a few weeks ago. I knew the deadline was Feb 24th and I knew that I needed to email my bio and a few photos in by then so I had plenty of time.

Another post from my old blog. My kids were 4 1/2 and 7 1/2 at the time. I really miss moments like this. I am SO glad I have this blog to reflect on.

My daughter (the most disgusted photographer around) took them for me.. totally against her will but nonetheless here they are. I feel like I am making some good progress. With 8 weeks left I am hoping to lean out my legs a bit more, and really tighten those glutes baby! Oh and get a really nice tan ;)

Today it literally rained ice. I cannot get over how slick the roads, sidewalks, and driveways were today. I had an ice skating rink in my front yard. I tried to shovel it up and after 30 minutes my arms were tired and I hadn't make much progress so I gave up for the night. It is crazy.

I don't do resolutions. I never really have. I am more of a make little goals all throughout the year kind of girl so the new year comes and goes for me. One thing is for sure though, I am looking forward to putting 2012 behind me. It has been a rough year for me. It has also been a good year in many ways.

Ha ha... almost prep time! I am actually really looking forward to the 2013 season for a few reasons. I've had mixed feelings about it since the last competition. Mostly due to feedback I've gotten. Not due to how I felt coming in or how I felt coming out of the show. I actually felt really good going in and have felt really Kerrynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03086255244554065191noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306509119596131817.post-54517390262690401702012-12-09T18:13:00.002-08:002012-12-10T18:13:59.334-08:00Do-Nuts about it....
So, I've mentioned before that at work we do what we call "breakfast club" every day. A few times we have made donuts. Healthy donuts of course. I have told my husband and kids about them and have told them that I really wanted to get a donut pan so that I could make them at home for my family.

The last few weeks have just been so crazy you guys. We have SO many things filling up our week that I honestly cannot wait for the weekend just so that I can breathe only for the weekend to come, and for it to be just as busy as the week was and before I know it, its over and I am sitting at my desk Monday morning again as if I never left Friday evening.

I only ordered a handful of them. One reason is because they cost a freaking fortune. That is the one thing about competing that stinks. You want the proof of how hard you worked? Get ready to pay. Gads. Anyway, here are a few from backstage and on stage.

Julian Bakery Sourdough bread. Saved. My. Life. probably your life too, during prep. The stats are incredible.

Friday:
Got up, took the kids to school, and headed to Salt Lake to pick up a few last minute things (jewelry, makeup). I had to go check in for the competition too. Got my number. 60.
Made a quick stop at work to give Janetha and Amanda their tickets for the night show and to pick up a new piece of jewelry that we ordered (which I will share in a later post) but I was so Kerrynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03086255244554065191noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306509119596131817.post-58435610542460392762012-10-09T15:20:00.000-07:002012-10-09T15:20:00.560-07:00Hiking....Over the weekend my husband and I decided to finish the hike that I started a few weeks ago with Janetha and Amanda. Its called Elephant Rock and it is absolutely STUNNING! There is just nothing like Utah Mountains. The hike is about 7 or 7.5 miles round trip.

I feel pretty good. In fact I feel REALLY good this time around. I can't wait to talk more about what I have done differently this prep than I did last prep (and basically ANY prep).
