.COM BABY!!!

The sun is finally shining here in Las Vegas. Lately we have had nothing but rain and gloomy days!! I don't know about you but on those types of days I find it very hard to get up out of bed and get motivated. Today however, was different. My alarm went off at 0430 and instead of pushing the snooze button for an additional 15 minutes of sleep, I jumped right up brushed my teeth and put on my usual workout gear... sports bra, wifebeater, and an over sized pair of sweatpants. It was such a great day, I even managed to to coax my husband into accompany me to the gym.
I usually workout solo but on those days I can get him to go with me... watchout!! I for some reason I get stronger. Maybe it's because I'm suddenly bitten by the competition bug. My husband and I are very competitive by nature and in gym, it's against eachother. Now my husband is about 6'1, 265 lbs and is very strong!! Sometimes he will lift the whole stack of weights and I sit there in amazement egging him on saying things like "damn baby they gonna have to buy a new machine just for you!!" We have two boys who are 5 and 2 and I can't wait until they hit about 13. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will have his height and size but my determination, dedication and gym knowledge.... they'll be beasts!!
So yes my husband is a very strong man and lift triple what I lift but it's just something about being in the gym with him that really gets me going. My weights are heavier and my reps are higher... love it!! It's rare that we get to do this because our work schedules are so different. I work night shift so much of my training is done during the day and he is the total opposite... works during the day and trains at night. Now if only we could work on that diet of his but I'm pleased to say that my husband has been taking my advice alot more lately and has shed about 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm so proud of him!!
Did I mention that I have my first photo shoot in about 5 weeks in Scottsdale, AZ with John Atherton aka Coach A. I am so excited!! I decided that I needed some professional pics for my website. As far as the website goes... it's coming along and I can't wait to be a .com!! Funny, it hasn't even launched and already I've been getting so much feedback and in the process gained 5 new clients. Maybe, I will be able to retire from nursing early then expected (lol)!! No, I love my job and can't see myself doing anything else but helping get others in the best shape of their lives!! I have the best life ever!! Great kids, fabulous husband, a very rewarding career, and now I'm doing something that is beyond anything I ever imagined... I'm gonna be a .com baby!!!
