It was great! I did an interview with an editor in the UK today. She is doing stories on The World’s (blank) Women: Tallest, shortest, fastest… etc. She did one on me as the World’s Strongest Woman… I know you were thinking it was the world’s most CHARMING, but it was STRONGEST. LOL! I am humoring myself at this point.
My karma in this town is ROCKING!! I may end up wrestling on a smaller televised circuit. I will let you know as soon as it is confirmed.
Okay! I did a fun interview with Ric and it is on his site. He is such a great person. Networking on my behalf like crazy! Couldn’t have met a nice person in LA! The interview is in two parts:
I put some new videos up on my site yesterday. Go check them out on the video page! I put them at the bottom. Next time I will update in the first row.
I am still keeping up with my workouts. Although I considered last week an adjustment week, I was not lazy. I was a free bird when it came to eating for the last 4 weeks. I knew when I got to LA, I would be cleaning up the eating. It is motivating to check out all the fit bodies at Venice Golds. I am leaning it down and wondering where I will end up with my physique. I want to stay over 200 lbs. I am not so savvy on getting super lean, unless a job comes along that calls for it. This girl is not meant to be skinny. I like to be big, big, big!! Powerful!! A woman of mass and presence.
Okay, I have been here for a week now. I did a lot of body adjusting; acclimating to the end of a Omaha life and the beginning of an LA one. I “hit the ground running” as good friend Ned Lowe stated after he gave me two great introductions at Venice Golds, AND two additional contacts. Before I go any further, congratulations Ned for the Powerlifting USA cover shot.
One great introduction via Ned and Jack Armstrong resulted in the meeting of a great man, Ric Drasin. This man is a legend! Check out his site for sure and see how he used to train with Schwartzenegger and Columbo. He is most known for being the demi-hulk, the middle man between hulk and human. So funny, when you hear that your like, “What?! Oh, yeah!!” You remember ;o) Ric is also know for designing the Gold’s Gym guy AND the World Gym gorilla. SWEET!
I will be training at Ric’s wrestling school. The students are very welcoming!
Ric and I are scheduled to do an interview this week for his new, VERY POPULAR, website, Ric’s Corner. I will post the link here when it is on his site. I checked out Ric’s Corner and watched the commentary on his workouts with Arnold. I am so glad to hear I have the same beliefs about lifting as he and the crew did back in the day. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
Here is one of the videos you will find on Ric’s Corner.
Well Easter Sunday was great! I took all for dogs I am sitting on a car ride. Then took two of them to Malibu Creek Park. I actually found my own path. It was beautiful, palisades and rocky foothills, lush green vegetation. Finished the night off with a visit to a friend working in Marina del Ray.
You know if it rains on Easter Sunday, it rains for then next seven Sundays. It is raining as I am falling asleep. So peaceful!
Oh, I think there was an earthquake last night. Sounded like thunder to me. CRAZY!
Today, I am hibernating in LA. The windows open, breezy wind. Recovering from an all day drive. The drive went so fast, it was beautiful! The only downfall, cramped up hamstrings today.
I did a tri and bi workout Monday at New Castle Family Fitness, a great place to train! Next workout for me, legs. Definitely have to make sure the hammies are in working order.
I get the pleasure of breaking in my LA life by watching a friends kids (puppies) while he is traveling for work. I need the puppy TLC, as I miss my old dog Joss.
Joss was a Mama’s baby!! I miss you baby! When I feel settled in, I will get a dog of my own. One I can run with. I met a ridgeback recently. Maybe I will get one of those. What do you think?
