April 11th – 1 month Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to me!

It’s been one month since I started writing PowerPeanutLife and I just wanted to say “thanks for reading”.

What can you expect in the future? ie. Why should you KEEP reading (or start for that matter)? So many reasons!

  • More recipes!
  • More workouts!
  • More tips
  • Progress photos – watch my progress as I prep for the June 15th Fitness Universe show in Miami. This Friday will be 9 weeks out.
  • Food Prep – lots of it. As my show date approaches there will be lots more prep. You’ll see me carrying my cooler around everywhere I go. Jealous?
  • My Next Show! – this show allows you to compete in both Figure and Bikini…so that’s what I’ll do. It’s also much bigger than any other show I’ve done. I’m already a little nervous.
  • More Spray Tanning
  • Guest Bloggers – in progress
  • A NEW KITCHEN – this will help with the whole “more recipes” and “food prep” facet of my blog.
  • Videos – you can expect videos as soon as we’re all settled in the new place. I mean, how could I not post videos in my NEW KITCHEN? To start, I will be posting “how to” recipe videos. It will be geared to those who are a little uneasy about all this food prep business and those who are not as kitchen savvy. Nice and easy! Nothing to be nervous about.
  • Better pictures – sorry about this. It’s much easier to use my iPhone to snap pics especially during the week when I’m at work. I’ll get better about using my camera. Promise. Notice my food prep pic? THAT was taken with my cute little pink camera. Nice, right?
  • More exclamations! – I love to exclaim things. 🙂 It might be a problem. I’ll try to control it.
  • Travel Eats – I look forward to taking a couple more trips with Pilot during my time off. Check out what I eat on our adventures. I like to call these the adventures of Half Pint & Big Guy. Where did the names come from? Well I’m little and he’s big. Yea, we’re not as clever as you would think.
  • Coffee
  • Starbucks – did I mention I LOVE coffee?

  • A new puppy? – I’m dying to get one but we’re waiting until we’re settled in the new house. I might explode with excitement. Can’t wait. See how much I love puppies? I almost stole this one from one of my girlfriends.
  • Career change? – let’s see where life takes me, shall we? I’ve been having a difficult time finding a job in my industry (personal care).  This may just be the push I need to get into fitness. While I carry on my search for an engineering or chemistry position I will also continue to pursue a career in what I’m passionate about. Fitness!  I hope you can join me as I figure out my path in life. Too corny? Maybe…but I’m still EXCITED! 

In the meantime you can follow me for the rest of the month as Pilot and I get ready for our big move to CT. We’ll be painting, tiling, mowing, and everything else that comes along with a new house. Yes, that’s right. I’m going to do all this while prepping for a show and finding a new job. You thought you were busy.

Remember that when you’re flinging out excuses on why you can’t get in a workout or eat properly. You CAN do it so I don’t want to hear it.  

The countdowns begin:

  • 13 working days left
  • 17 days in MA
  • 20 days until we’re in PARIS!
  • 65 days until my next show

Oh, I haven’t mentioned Paris? Yup! We’re going to Paris and I couldn’t be more excited. Maybe more excited than the idea of a new puppy…maybe…well it’s pretty close. We’ll call it a tie.  

There will be many pictures along the way. Expect to see some eats, lots of coffee, and of course the sights.

Mmmm….Coffee in Madrid

I have to keep the eating under control because even though we’re on vacation I’m still prepping for a show.

How will I balance fun, travel, and eats? You’ll see!

Wine & tapas in Madrid

Did I miss anything? Is there anything specific you’d like to see more of? Let me know.

I love to hear your suggestions!
