.: What are the biggest lessons you learned this year?

I've learned that I trust too much! That I let the wrong persons enter my life... I intent to fix this ;)
I've learned that I'm not too good at managing money... I WILL be good in 2011!

I've learned that getting older is amazing, that the possibilities are endless! and that I love being a mother more than anything else :D

2010 is about to be over.. THANK GOD! It's been one of the hardest years of my life, but I intent to start 2011 by putting all the regrets, sadness and bitterness away, I want to put it all behind and start the new year on a positive note!

After all I intend to make 2011 the greatest year of my life! :)

Happy Holidays everyone!!

 Wishing you all the best in 2011

.: SuperBowl

Bonjour!!!

Long time without a post I know...
A lot of you know I had a change of heart about the bodybuilding world, not the fitness lifestyle, just the bodybuilding world and all its "hang-ups".

I got tired of living in what seemed to be a fake world, where people only talked about bodies being too small or too big, and where everything else in life never seemed to matter.

As I was watching my son grow, I realized I needed to get out of that world for a while, not forever, and not stop working out at all, but just plain take a REAL break.

I took one this summer, I barely workout, gained a bit of weight but didn't care, I was having fun with Rockwell and my friends, I had wine pretty much each day and most importantly I had a life, I went out, and had fun without only focusing on my looks or stressing because I missed a training. It's been my first break in 10 years!!!.

I've refused A LOT of modeling work, I just didn't feel like it at all but 3 weeks ago I decided to start back, called my coach (boy was he happy :D) and I'm now "back on track".

My outlooks have changed a lot and since I don't train for a competition, the plan now is too loose some muscles, dont worry I'll keep the curves, but I really didn't like the way my body was earlier this year. I never wanted to look like a bodybuilder and I was getting WAY too stocky.

I guess I finally found a balance, being fit and healthy IS important, but so is having a life ;)

On another note, I'm also happy to say I've been hired to work at the Superbowl!!
I'll be in Arlington, Texas, on February 6 2011. It makes me extra happy to cross over the sports world, not just bodybuilding, it's going to be a new challenge! and I'm always up or a new challenge...

Stay tuned for all the details,

.: In a NY State of mind

Great news, Brian Moss (brianmoss.com) and I have been in touch for a while and I am leaving next week to be photographed by him in NYC.

I truly believe he is one of the most talented photographers in the business nowadays! I am honored that he wants ME as a featured model.

Brian is also the photographer for the Animal Pak ads you see in every bodybuilding magazines

I'm following in the footsteps of many FBB I greatly admire an I hope I can produce at least a few images as striking as they did before me!

Stay healthy!

.: our girls and Arnold

Alison Ethier came in last in fitness, physique round really killed her, and she will need to be more meaty to get ahead.

Sylvia came in in 11th place! And Myriam Capes came in 8th place, once again the physique round is where she lost some points, her legs need some improvement.

That's it for now! The internet connexion is really bad sorry o
For any delays!

.: Good news!

We just received the confirmation today that TV5 will be making a documentary about the fabulous life of our couple and the wicked world of competitive bodybuilding ;)

By doing so, we hope to demystify the lifestyle and really show bodybuilding under a positive light!

It will be filmed before the end of March but I do not have an airing date just yet.

**DISCLAIMER** Now, if you're our next sponsor and just haven't stepped out yet... now would be a good time, this will give you amazing visibility ;)
