61Well...I leave out tomorrow morning to head to Fla. for the Jacksonville Pro. As I sat down to type a blog the word "thankful" came to my mind.

I am so incredibly thankful that I am able to do what I love to do, and am passionate about, for a living. Sure, dieting/getting ready for a show can be stressful, but I always make sure to take a step back and realize that I should be THANKFUL that I have a healthy body that allows me to do this!

There are so many people that may have problems or disabilities that would give anything to be able to just get up and walk and I can run with strong legs on the treadmill! So many of us take for granted many of the little things in life. I always have to remind myself to never take ANY of Gods little blessings for granted!

This prep was a little easier for me because I was so busy in other areas of my life that it helped me to not obsess too much about this show. I feel confident and happy with how I feel and look. I am just looking forward to having fun at this show. If I happen to do well that would be icing on the cake;)...mmmm cake, that sounds reaaalllly good right now:).

I am looking forward to seeing my mom, dad, brother, his girlfriend, and my sister in law at the show and I am also looking forward to seeing all the girls! Can't wait to see ya Becky!

I will be in touch! Take care and God Bless!

Jess

Haha, the cake can come soon!
You post really makes you think.. I saw a guy today missing an arm, but had some (looked to be scrap metal) put together to clamp a weight. It's crazy what some people are capable of!
Good Luck!!
