PRO DEBUT!!!!!

hey guys!
How are you? I am doing well. Busy but making it work. I Thought i should share in the good news! I am planning my pro debut at the EUROPA this august in Dallas texas! Aug 14/15th! I am really excited to compete with sooo many women that i have always watched compete as professionals and its pretty surreal that i am now amoung them. I am nervous and feel i am outta my league with these girls!! BUT i hope to prove that to be untrue and i want to feel that i belong there.

I had originally thought i would take the year off and not compete till next summer. But i got thinkin and its like who knows if i'll wanna do it next year and if i can or whetever. So i decided, I am young and wanna do it, so i am on route! I will be youngest out there but hopefully i dont look like i am the newby lol.

I have a new hobby. BAKING! I use to always wonder how bodybuilders enjoyed baking so much when they couldnt eat the treats, that seemed like torture to me. But one day i decided to make a candy bar pie as the recipe looked so fun and the baking has been rolling on since then! I dont even wanna eat it....well maybe a lil ;), but i'm not tempted to actually eat it. I just enjoy looking and finding new recipes and being in the kitchen creating little treasures. I just give them away but everyone seems to enjoy my giving! Tonight i made carrot cake with cream cheese icing and i made a banana cream chocolate pie last night ( that one was an experiment, i made up my own recipe).

I got a hammick! (sp??) You know a swing lay out thing for outside haa. I have always wanted one ever since i was on one when i was a kid. I dont have trees i could hang the old fashioned kind from so its one that just has a stand. I cant wait to lay in it and just swing a lil while getting a lil sun. I'm looking forward to that thsi summer. It has been COLD here latley, so i wont be out in my hammik anytime soon.

Roxy, kobe and the digster are doing good. Roxy has got something going on tho. Every time you touch her butt she snaps at ya! and gets all weird. BUt i had her butt chcked and it seemed fine. I think it might be a skin thing cauz her ears are always itchy and when she scratches them she cries. She tries to bite kobe sometimes too, outta the blue for no reason. Poor KOb.

Well, i gtg get to bed

Stay tuned for my contest prep updates!!!!!!!

All my love

Get your copy!

hey guys,
this is from john's site...... the book is now available. I have my copy and its BEAUTFUL. Really, its something everyone should see....
I have 4 photographs in the book.
The amount of talent in this book, both from John and the models is amazinggg.
Order a copy through www.johnstutz.com



Fit Girls, Volume 1
Armada-Benson Publishing

Casebound
11" x 14" x 2"

320 pages
240 photographs
120 models

$110


This fine art book is the first of a two-volume collection of photographs taken between 2003 and 2008 that document and capture the artistic beauty of physically gifted women who possess sculpted, muscular, and conditioned physiques. It's much more than just a book of photographs of strong women. From cover to cover, it is crafted from some of the finest materials available, expertly printed and bound. The leatherette cover, with its inset frame and photo, has a rich feel unlike any other you've ever seen. And best of all, every aspect of this book was designed by yours truly to provide you with a tactile and visual experience you'll never forget.

The models featured within are among the who's who of the fitness industry. Anyone who is a fan of the fitness industry will surely recognize many of these one hundred twenty amazing athletes. For those less familiar, you need little more than an appreciation for beautifully sculpted physiques to enjoy this collection of artwork.

When you purchase a copy of Fit Girls, Volume 1 or 2 you are also supporting each and every one of the women featured in both books. Half of the proceeds from the sale of these books are divided equally among them. And while these funds can merely cover a fraction of the training and competition expenses incurred in the pursuit of physical excellence, every bit helps.

We are also donating a percentage of profits to a deserving charitable organization selected each year. This year, we have chosen the Huntington's Disease Society of America on behalf of cover model, Shana Martin. I would encourage you to read Shana's accounts regarding her family, and her own risk of inheriting this debilitating disease.



His pics are beautiful,
(have to get the book to see the ones i have in it)

Update is definately due!


hey guys!
How are you? I am doing good. I had a great weekend. Remember i mentioned i was traning someone...this is Memory! This weekend she competed in her first show where she won the masters, heavyweight and then the Overall! Not bad for her first competition! Very proud of her. I was stressed trying to make sure she was as perfect as i could make, in the end it all worked out! She will hopefully pick up some more trophies this coming weekend where she will compete again. Another BUSY weekend it shall be! Its very different being the person doing the helping and not the doing but i really enjoyed it and felt so happy for her.


I presented for the womens lightweight class at the show. I had some crazy HIGHHH heels on....i was so scared i was gonna trip or stuble, how embarassing would that have been??!!! But i didnt thank god :)

As for me, i will be making my pro debut!! Sit tight and i shall tell you more in the future about those plans :)

I am very busy these days with work, traning....and also having someone else in the house.......... 16 year old Jrok aka Jason has been added to the family. Its def differnt and challenging but i care about the kid so you make stuff work. I have been battling some nasty joint pain. Sucks bc its one of those things that you just kinda have to live with. I beleive i wouldnt be having joint pain so early in if i hadnt trained sooo hard and hevay in the past. Joint pain is inevitable tho amonug bodybuilders, i just never thought i would have it so bad so soon.

My two rooms that were being painted are all done. They look way better now! My house feels more functional....but its still so damn small! Oh well, i just gotta get better at making space and storage places i guess.

I gtg for now,

be in touch soon,
~all my love

Cindy

busy busy


Helllo!
How is everyone? I apologize for my lack of blog updates, i am BUSSY latley!

I am working on some updates and reonovations at the house. So far i've got two rooms painted. The computer room is now a differnrt rm and it is now orange! I know, sounds ugly but i LOVE it. And the bedroom, which use to be the computer rm, is like a limish green. The cardio equ has been moved downstairs, and the tv has been moved dwonstairs too. I got a new bed for the new rm. Just waiting for the paint to dry good bf i set it all up. I still have a lot left i wanna do but i love what has been done so far. Thank god for my Dad- he does it all and does it well!

I am currenlty training a girl (memory) that is doing her first show in 2 weeks! We have been working togther since 16 weeks out or so. Her and I have grown to be quite good friends along the way. She looks really good, esp for her first show. I will get a pic of her bf my next post so i can show yas how good she looks. Very proud of her. She will also do a show the next weekend so i'm sure we can get her some trophies :) It will be a good time!

It was prob the nicest day this yr today. So nice that I rollerbladed to the gym......... and i fell on my butt!!!!!!!!! i was trying to slow myslef down when i was going down a steep hill LOL, i'm a lil rusty. I had my sunglasses in my hand and when i fell i broke them lol. Awkward huh!?

There is a new gym opening up in town in the next month or so. I hope it is GOOD. Be nice to have more/better equp and longer hours. My gym is not open sometimes when i need it to be! But if i do switch when the gym comes, i will prb miss my lil gym. It has been my lil haven for many years. I've spent MANNNY hours there and i love the people who train there with me.

OH- if you seen "me", my pics more like it, on some online dating sites...no thats NOT ME. Part of being on the internet i guess- people can take your pics and pretend to be you! KInda strange.....haha.


well, i have gtg for now
have a great weekend!

All my love,
Cindy
