O M G!!!!  Today is my birthday and i am the happiest, luckiest, most blessed girl in the world right now!! Just when ya think life can't get any better... it does!!!  This past weekend I initially drove down to mesquite, texas in order to compete in fitness at the Ronnie Coleman Classic 2010.... and at the last minute, i was literally one of the last figure girls to enter the figure A class. 

Prejudging was awesome!  I felt great about my routine, it was the best performance up to date for me personally....  i was called out in the top 5 of both fitness and figure!! WOW!  Little did i know, later that night, i would be winning both fitness and figure.... then going on to fight for the overall!   AND I DID JUST THAT!!  i won the overall.... the whole show!!!  I still can't believe it... i had worked so very hard... just like all the other girls.... i had a few set backs it seemed every week since my prep began back in december.  But it was all worth it that very moment my name was called for the overall!  GOD IS GOOD! huh? Competing has been my life for the last few years.... and to be honest i have been dying for a break, for some time in the real world.... not to worry about bringing chicken and fish everywhere i go OR worried i am going to miss a workout!  Then i win this entire show.... ugh!!!  well i got my answer, no break for tracy!!! Back to the gym tomorrow after a couple days off my diet and off training.... time to hit the weights again...   

I have to say i love my family, close friends, my coach, and clients for being there and all the support you have given me to accomplish my dreams!!!  its been a long, lonely road... but well worth every moment.  One last bite of bday cake... then its ON for 2010... CHICAGO here i come!! 

Also, check out my leg workout the night before the Ronnie on Muscular Development!!!!

WOW... i've been home almost a week now from the Arnold.... and im sitting here asking myself, "how in the HELL did I manage to survive?"  My gawd, i know everyone warned me, but gheez... that weekend nearly sucked the life out of me! UGH!  i ended up getting stuck in chicago for a few days (with no clean clothes, no soap, no make up, and most importantly NO FOOD)  i managed to live through that, then i get home only to find out I have mono....  and im off work for 4 more days!!!  BUT after the storm.....  theres ALWAYS A RAINBOW!!!!  :o)   I finally feel like im recovering and regaining my energy back, along with getting back on track with my diet and such.... i had to add a whole helluva lot more carbs into my diet this last week just to freakin move!!  And today was SUPER, considering I had a KICK A** LEG workout ....  which in TRACYLAND makes for a happy TRACY!  I have 4 wonderful weeks until my show and I am ready!!!  Need to polish up the ol routine this weekend and VOILA!!! :o)    O ya, about the ARNOLD..... lol, i think it wore me out so bad I have nothing to say about it.... however, I must admit, i did feel important standing at our "JACKED UP DIVA'S" booth.... we definitely got some, I mean A LOT of attention!  It musta been the shoes. ;o)    You'll have to check out my facebook for pics.... (haven't figured out how to post here or you know there'd be tons of pics up!)   alright ... would i go to the ARNOLD again and risk my health???? UM HELL YA!!!   For the record, the highlight would have to have been when Mr. Randy Couture wanted to get pics with us, since after all, we were some of the Hottest chica's there!! haha!!!   Well, off to bed... have to lift back, do cardio, practice my routine, then go to posing..... all tomorrow!!!!  Did I mention I also have to reupholster a chair PINK.... :o)    You'll have to come to my show to see this one! NIGHTY NIGHT ALL!!!!!

The fact that I am blogging on Valentine's Day at approximately 12:45am should clearly explain my relationship with this pointless, never-ending holiday....  ugh.  To be honest, I've never really been fond of this day, nor have i ever understood the point of it???  I'm the kind of girl that if I love you, you'll know it, and you won't just know it on a random day in the middle of February... You'll know it every single day.  It's truly a blessing and a curse.... when I love, I love with every last ounce of my soul.....   a terrible, beautiful gift! ;o)  hmmm.... that brings me to the obvious, I haven't had a Valentine in 6 years... O. I've received many random gifts, cards, etc... but no Valentine 'Man'....  Matter of fact, I tend to get those "I love u / I'm sorry / why did I ever leave you" cards this time of year that I could definitely do WITHOUT, as flattered as I am, SAVE em boyZ!  haha!!!  On that note, this day has been entirely too long and I've got posing practice in the morning.... I'll wake up tomorrow and this day will be OVER!!!  O wait, it will still be V-day when I wake up!  I'm over it, I'm out!  lol

HappyCrAzY Valentines Day everyone!  MUAH!!!

Haven't had a REST day in ..... well probably over a year!  What better day to take a break from the gym than superbowl sunday, after all I have been kicking my own a**! My body is definitely drained today..... matter of fact I laid in bed with my dogs this morning until 10am! When your used to getting up and doing your cardio at 5 or 6am, 6 days a week...  10am is NICE!  I'm enjoying this now, before the  insomnia kicks in closer to Jr. nat's....  ahhhh the stress, my body craves it!!!  ugh!  As for now, I am enjoying this day.... who am i going for ???  i dunno?  LOL  I love sports....  but as most of you would say, "your a better cheerleader than you are an actual fan tracy"...  ha!  Although, I do LOVE to watch BASKETBALL  (hope i won't regret saying this on superbowl sunday... we'll save my BBall blog for all-star weekend, next week..... AND into MARCH MADNESS!) :o)  That I can talk about!!! 

ok,  I am a google *hore.... I'm beginning to wonder if my OCD has created its own therapy by googling any and everything! lol....  I've been googling  info on the superbowl today and have found some interesting facts that I'm sure most of you know.... for example,  there isn't just a gameball, i mean i assumed there were a couple, but there are 120 official balls!  ehh, why do they need so many?  AND... the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which is what the winning team receives, is made by Tiffany & Co..... hmmm, maybe i am interested in this game after all!  And I didn't know that the Dallas Cowboys have been to the most superbowls than any other team, 8!  But the Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most, 6!   Dallas... where were you this year???  I am in Oklahoma, so of course I am a Cowboy fan!   Or is it because my lifelong dream was to become a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader??  i remember my friends telling me, "tracy, you can't be a cheerleader your whole life.... it's not a job!"  One day... i'm going to try on one of those suits and run across that field!  I'll show them!!! ;o)  well.... I'm off to do laundry, eat, shower, mall, tan, and watch the superbowl of course!  I'm out!

xoxo, TRACY DAWN :o)

I'm sitting here dreaming of chocolate chips and peanut butter.... trying my hardest to STAY FOCUSED! i began really dieting for 2010 a few weeks ago, and have tappered down these last few days.... UGH, im definitely NOT A HAPPY DIETER! I love, love the training, the cardio, the stage, the tan, the make-up... but the diet, cmon!!! There's got to be an easier way.... lol. But since I feel this year is my year .... I have to FOCUS! I want my pro card so badly..... I just know its coming my way!!! I am training with an awesome group of women under Jack Titone, "JACKED UP DIVA's" we are where its at this year baby!!!!

My fitness journey began in 2006 with my first fitness show and i have been addicted since... although now under a trainer and getting hounded daily by him (luv ya jack... but let me breathe a lil) hehe!! I know that without him and Ann (IFBB Figure Pro) Jack's wife... I more than likely would not have been competing this year!! That's why I know i gotta stick with him... even if he ONLY allows me one cheat meal per week and no form of sugar whatsoever in my diet!!! i can do it, i can do it, i can do it!!!!! Tonight I got some motivation from one of my idols... I just got off the phone with Ms. Jenny Lynn.... it was a random thing, sort of a business opportunity.... i was super excited to hear from her! As we were chatting I was online looking at her photos and all the work she has done.... simply amazing and definitely MOTIVATING!!!! That got me back in the mind set I had lost over these last few weeks of nonsense in my life! So here i come 2010.... holla!!!
