You know its hard week when...

So its hard week and that means killer workouts and pushing  the limits.  I just got halfway through my workout and laid down a personal best!  I have now been in Hawaii for a month and the improvements are incredible.  I have to thank Guy Wilding for always believing in me and reminding me to never settle for less than my best.   Also, my amazing fiance Morgan has been my inspiration through it all.  He has worked with me one-on-one during practices to help perfect my technique.

Yesterday we went to visit Pearl Harbor, it was incredible.  The video they showed before we went to the Arizona really filled you in on what happened and presented it all tastefully.  I thought it was amazing that we could still see massive amounts of oil leaking from the ship.  Here is a picture of me and Morgan at the memorial.

    

Trials are closer than we think, so now is the time to get some serious fundraising done!  I have emailed over ten media outlets and hopefully someone will want to run a big story on us.  As always, I am so thankful to have such a loving and supportive family, I could not do it without them!

Food

I have found that everything revolves around food...I am sitting at a starbucks and it amazes me how happy people get just by sipping on the 500+ calories contained within a venti white chocolate mocha.  So I have set out on a quest to find a website that combines food and fitness...here is what I found! 

http://www.howsweeteats.com/

Guaranteed to make your mouth water and make you wanna hit the gym, it provides sinfully delicious pictures and recipes, along with great workout routines.  StumbleUpon is revolutionizing the way I surf the web!

 

Epic week!

So this week I made some serious gains.  We spoke with a life coach last week and her advice really helped me out..  I used a new Epic full footboard and broke it the first session I used it!  haha but I still made progress and I am looking forward to trials this year.  Hawaii has been amazing with sunshine almost everyday!  We did have one night with a storm that knocked out the power, but other than that things are going great.  Hopefully we will get to visit Pearl Harbor some time soon and I would love to go on a dinner cruise or see a luau.  I am finally starting to figure out how to drive here, as it seems that everything moves much slower here traffic wise.  The "Bomb" as we call our new car is holding up and getting us around so that is all we can ask for.  Missing everyone in Georgia and keeping Grandpa Vic in my prayers as he broke his hip this week. 

As always we are looking for more sponsorship and we can use all the help we can get!
