Good morning all!!

It's an absolutely beautiful fall day in the northeast...the kind that just puts you in a good mood when you open your eyes!! Such a blessing!

I wanted to update you all on the AC Pro. Itook a 6th place in a highly competitive field of light weights. Iwas very ahppy with that placing and my performance in Atlantic City. I felt much more comfortable on the pro stage this year...I felt like I belonged and with my placing felt like I hung tough wiht the "Big Girls".

We had a blast backstage visiting and hanging out. Debbie Bramwell, Deb L, Lisa Aukland, Joanna Thomas, Beth Roberts, Heather Foster, Lora Ottand, Emery Miler, Betty Viana, the Canadian contingent...we had a blast. Vicki Nixon was backstage taking pics for MD and of course, My Protan Chicas were working their tails off!

The highlight of my weekend was having my mom with me. She hasn't been feeling well this summer...difficulty breathing as she has emphazyma. She was a trooper...I hauled her around in the wheelchair with her O2 tank...everyone really made of her and remembered her from last year even! She had a great time eventhough she was super tired by Saturday evening.

I gave her a gold bangle to add to her collection. She always bought herself a gold bangle bracelet after I had won an amatuer event. When I turned pro she bought a bangle with diamonds in it. Since I have turned pro she hasn't had the opportunity to buy herself a bracelt so I did it for her this year! She was touched. I think she has many nice memories from the weekend adn I am blessed to have been able to give them to her.

We walked ont eh boardwalk on S"unday n the sunshine..it was a beuatiful day and one of those moments that I know I will think of often in years to come.

I did a coupel interesting shotoshoots..one wiht Gene who is phenominal. We shot n the roof of the Taj, admidst the oion dome rooftops...it shoudl prove iteresting. I also shot with a man named Maritn Schoeller. He has already done a coffee table book of famous people and politicians and is looking to do one with FBB. It was an interesting shoot in that I didn't have to felx, jsut look into his old fashioned type camera for about 20 minutes of shots. His mom was withhim from Germany and so she and my mom visited for the time. IT was pretty cool and I hope to be able to see myself inhis book next year!

All in all my experience was awesome. I am now looking to jump into a figure show at the end of the season. My trainer, Tim, feels I could be more competitive if I lost some muscle size and entered next year. I just wasn tot jump in now an dsee what the judges have to say about which directin I should go........it should be an interesting change for me......only cardio, no training, same diet...l.let's see what happens!?

Until next time

Muah
