SeaSiren Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Glad you have shoots coming up and more and more of them...I'm doing some too One of these days we'll have to do a shoot together. All the best! Yeah! I'm so proud of ya Babe! Most definitely, we should shoot together! Beautiful avatar pic, SeaSiren.Thank you Been away most days shooting, then the rehearsal and fashion show in Detroit, and then my daughters Birthday Slumber party this weekend. 15 girls for over 24 hours! lol... but we had a fabulous time, although I was completely exhausted after no sleep. The fashion show was so much fun, and my designer and his team where a joy to work with. Vid and tons of photos are available, I'll get a few up as soon as they forward them to me. We lost some of our models due to extreme stage fright ... but thanks to competing for so long I love a big crowd. And some of the gals were very "stick to the routine" even though we had a ton of screaming people at the end of the runway holding their hands out to be touched. I love impromptu moments, so I was right in there, lol Good thing the designer loved it huh! Like her mommy, my daughter did the same... tore the runway up and played to the crowd. Afterwards VIP section for some partying with some kick butt bands on stage! Rested and on trackToday: Incline Hammer Press 3x8Dumbbell Flyes 3x10Rack Pulls 4x6Hammer Rows 3x12Standing Calf Raises 3x8Seated Calf Raises 2x15Weighted Decline Crunch 3x25stretching 20 min cardiostretching I will be doing some change ups (as per needed). I have had to maintain quite a lower BF % to do the type of modeling I do which is not conducive to continuing to build to compete in my given classes. I can either, stop modeling in this area or give up the class. Since I was competing to gain work, the answer is obvious. The classes I will be aiming for this year will have to follow my body type (which makes sense). So I will be entering the bikini competitions (non-bbing), bikini classes at the BBing shows and the fitness model classes at the BBing shows. Still have my eye on the pole comps as my build is irrelevant, it's based on what I can do. That being said intake today:water, vitamins1 -tofu scramble (just tofu w/sea salt & ground pepper heated w/no oil), oats, 1/2 orange, coffeewater2 -protein shakewater3 -huge salad (baby spinach, cucumbers, onions, green pepper) with tahini dressing (my recipe), tofu scramble (in a tofu mode today I guess! lol), water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smores was saved from a fair, where apparently show bunnies are "bopped" after their usefulness is over. The area was packing up and there was this poor little thing all scared and breathing hard (hot day). He is so wonderful, loves people and plays... who would have thought? Smores with my daughter:http://www.denisenicole.com/images/smorese.jpg Since I am on set for the day, they are doing an Easter theme promo and Bunny Hugger shoot (that one is mine).

SeaSiren Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have been very blessed after beginning competitions and have quite a full schedule of modeling, competing and my new online personal training site for women (live in one month). I have had three shoots for me and one for my daughter just this week. I need to ride the modeling avenue out to where ever it takes me for however long they let me stay on this train. I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that I will no longer be able to update my training journal in a timely matter and am closing it for now. Don't worry! I will still be around here and am very much training! Thanks so much to those who have contributed to my journal and supported me these many years.
