re·demp·tion= Recovery of something!!

Finally the day arrived!!! The minute I got to the airport I was so ready, and excited,  I din't know how it was going to unfold, but it was clear in my mind that I was going to  enjoy every minute of the event,  do my best and let everything else in God’s loving hands…So… I won my category Class B Figure Open @ the NPC Diamond Classic Figure Event this past Saturday, April 9, 2011, in Florida.

More than winning the event, it was a kind of redemption, because I gain back my life, I recover it after being away from everything in general.  When you go  through a  painful event in  life, in my case  my mom died a year and a half ago,  I just  lost interest in life in general, things that I would normally enjoy competing, training, etc. didn’t matter anymore to me.  I step away from stage for almost 2 years.  Looking back now and taking everything in, this is really my come back to life, lots of new and excited things are happening to me since that day.

I had enjoyed the journey,  learn so many lessons that I’m now applying to my life in  a personal and professional matters.  I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t give up on life, it doesn’t matter what storm you are going through at this moment, just ask for God’s guidance and He will prevail and see you through  all that’s going on. We need to have a propose, meaning or direction in our life’s, and no matter what the outcome will be go for it, because we can’t put our lives in hold, life is movement, its energy even if you don’t realized it; just take it one day at the time, and little by little you will see improvement.  Life happens but we can’t stop living it; today I can say this from the bottom of my heart!!!

“I have studied many times
The marble which was chiseled for me --
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor.
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank from its disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid;
Ambition called to me, but I dreaded the chances.
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life.
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat.
To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire --
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid”

By George Gray

Remember catch the winds of destiny where ever they drive the boat! I have to thank my loving angels that God sent me through this process of this past 12 weeks and even way before they were all ready there for me: Veronica & Vanessa Martinez you’re the sisters that I dint have growing up but life gave them to me! My Diva Angels thank you God Bless you! And we still have to keep training after the margaritas!!! And a wonderful and special person in my life, he was and is in my corner all the time not letting me give up even when I wanted to, My (PITA)  JDR, your more than my best friend you’re the reason I’m constantly smiling you’re my other trophy! God Bless You too! Can’t wait for life to show us the next chapter!!!

Training Tips:

People ask me what type of training they can do when they are constantly traveling and and the hotels they're  staying don't  have a gym or even if it does sometimes they don’t have a whole hour to work out. So this is the best way to continue your training: 

Resistance Bands Benefits:

• They don’t take to much space in your luggage
• They are light weighted
• Portable to any place
• They don’t limit you to work out only in the gym you can use them in your hotel room, beach, park, any were
• You can work out your whole body:

1. Shoulder presses combine with lateral raise
2. Lunges with triceps extensions
3. Squats combine with bicep curls
4. Chest presses combine with fly’s
5. Rowing combine with lat pull down
