I haven't posted in a good while... Its been a solid 6 months of constant change.  I decided to move back to Tulsa the end of October in order to figure out where my heart was and what I truly wanted to do (school, sports, work).  Into my parents house I went.. moving all my stuff back.  I was sad to leave Dallas because I felt as if I was just getting situated... making new friends and such, but I knew it was for the best.  See, a part of me had been missing.  Kind of like feeling heart broken.  You just feel something is not right.  For a good while I had pushed that feeling aside.  Saying, "just move on... just do this or that... ignore the feelings"  The feeling I am talking about it my desire to continue vaulting.  When I finished up college track my senior year I was ready for a break and I needed it really bad.  I was running through at practice and just lost my mojo... plus my senior year did not go as I had hoped.  But after a year and a half of exploring other sports and trying to find a new passion, I knew where my heart really was. On the track.  So moving back kind of had a hidden purpose that allowed me to not feel so bad about moving back... I knew I could go back and vault.  My second week back in Tulsa I vaulted for the first time.  I had no idea what to expect.  If i could plant the pole, if I would run through, what my technique would look like. .. but to my surprise it all came back pretty easily. Thank God! Now my only problem was the weight I had gained over the past year and a half... some body fat and some muscle from the bobsled training... I got going back at DSD (dynamic sports dev.) because I knew they would push me and log everything and plus I got to train with other athletes continuing their athletic careers.  I am a month and a week into training and I feel great! I have lost 7lbs and dropped 2% body fat so its a work in progress.. Still working on getting back great form for pole vault... and we have a meet dec. 17 so that will be a good starting place for me.

New Adventures in Dallas!

I have decided to venture into the world of fitness competitions! Why? I have no idea! lol..  No I guess it is just the inner competitor in me that is always striving to be the best I can be and take on new adventures.  It is almost not even about where I am going, but the experiences I gain along the way.  I have no idea where doing fitness comps are going to get me, but I have learned so much from everything else I have done that I figure I will learn something valuable from this. haha.. or at least lets hope so.  I am currently 13 weeks out of my first comp., which is Heart of Texas Sept. 10.  I am pretty excited and have the most amazing trainer ever!! He has already coached one pro figure female so I am hoping to be his second! well see... anyways.. I am currently living in Dallas and loving it! The entertainment and nightlife is phenomenal! yes I said phenomenal. that is my word! But it is hard because I cant go out and drink much less really like to but it can be hard with my diet.  I never mind going out and socializing though :)  I am working at Gold's Gym Uptown and looking to adventure into getting my personal training cert... well see... I am really looking for something big to happen in my life.  I know it is coming... not here yet.. but rumbling under the surface... I think God is testing my patience and seeing if I can put all my trust in Him.  He has put everything in front of me and in a specific sequence so it is up to me to follow it and trust in Him that it will all work out.  I cant wait to see what it to come.  Big things tho!!!
