Happy Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year)!

Happy Rosh Hashanah!

Today marks year 5772 of the Jewish calendar! I celebrate this day because Bret and some of my family members are  Jewish so I choose to identify with some aspects of Judaism.

Last night's dinner was very good and filling! Sorry, I can't name any the dishes or what they were made of, but I spent a great time with my Jewish side of the family! :) Oh yeah, the only things I can name are: the salad and roasted potatoes, lol! Although, I admit that I am ignorant about the history of Rosh Hashanah, I am determined to learn more about it!

Anyway, what I want to say is that I am coming up with some Jewish New Year's resolutions -- things I want to complete, things I want to improve on and new goals I want to achieve. It works out just right as we are 3 months from the end of 2011! So before this year is over I will cross some things off my list. Focus and execute! We must always remember, though, to make every day count, give love, be kind and grateful!

Love,

Bea

Reflections: My 2nd bikini competiton!

Last night I participated in my second bikini competition! The girls I met were in excellent shape! I was blown away by their chiseled physiques! Including me, there were six girl in my class (bikini short). I won 5th place :) For the Sportswear round I wore a sailor suit and for the bikini round I wore my purple suit again.

I will come back and write about this experience another time...

Love,

Bea

Just signed up for my 2nd bikini competition

After my fist competition and seeing all the fruits if my hard work at the gym and preparing meals in the kitchen I gave myself a new goal to compete once again on September 24th at Hermosa Beach. Preparing for something like this in my life has prepared me in all other aspects of my life. I am much more organized in my thoughts and actions. Although I still struggle at times with getting the energy or motivation to get up and continue the fight in things, the passion to fight what is right gets me through.

On Friday night I signed up for the competition in Hermosa Beach. I am less than 2 weeks out! I am very excited. I feel that I know what lies ahead. I want to feel those warm light on my skin again and have the stage all to myself. I think I have found a way to live. I love being conscious and aware of what I eat, each time I put something in my mouth. I love to move and feel my muscles burning when I am going up the stairs, or just walking fast to get somewhere. I love the feeling running gives me and how my heart pumps blood all the time.

Love,

Bea
