I really need to get here more often to update..just super busy :)  I have decided to switch from Figure to Bodybuilding...and I can't tell you how excited I am!!!  It's truly where my heart is, and that's what got me started.  I'm still with Kimbo..the nutrition guru..and we will work together to bring a very feminine, yet muscular, package to the stage!  I'm in a growing stage right now..transforming..LOL! 
I had the opportunity to help Monica Brant out with her last FEM Camp in Austin TX, Feb7-9, 2007.....I had so so much fun!  All of the girls were absolutely amazing and so eager to learn about everything.  I'll be helping out at the next camp in Austin, May 18-20, 2007, and in Rhode Island, July 6-9th 2007.  If any of you are interested in learning new exercises, spending time with people who enjoy fitness..you should check it out.  wwww.monicbrant.com! Well, time to train!!!  Train Hard & Eat Healthy!!!!

Ahhh time flies when we are having fun!  I've been super busy this past summer and fall competing and training new clients.  I competed in 4 shows this past year..and it was my first year competing.  I had a blast everytime I stepped on stage!  I've met many great people from my competitions and I've learned more about myself then I could even imagine.  With the New year here, I hope to work on my physique for the 2007 season and bring a better package to the stage.  GST continues to grow with a wide variety of clients ranging in all different fitness levels.  Until next time....eat healthy and train hard always :)

Wow!  It's been quite a long time since I've written in here..oops!  I've been busy training hard for my past competition, and now preparing for the 2nd one.  I have to say...I love competing and being on stage...it's such a blast.  It's a lot of fun watching your body go through all of the changes that happen during contest prep.  I'm a little less then 3 weeks out from the Bodyrock...and I'm ready to Rock n' Roll!!!  I can't wait!  Taylor, Steve and my Mom will be there and hopefully my brothers as well.  I need my little cheering section lol!  Well, lots to do...and I promise I'll update more often...I promise :)

Geese, where does the time go???  We had a great trip at the Arnold.  My contest prep has started for Yhonnie's show.....cardio here we come!  Wish I could get Steve to join me on a session or two HA!  My girlfriend from CA is coming in less then a week...I know she'll keep me company while she's here..matter of fact...we're going to race on the gauntlet!  My good friend and client Nicole is ready to have her baby...in less then 1 week!  I can't believe it's been 10mos..oh my.  I'm excited to see what she has...everyone is betting on a boy, me, I'm not so sure.  I'm headed back to Todd's to get pinched on the 22nd of this month..hopefully with some fat loss.  New clients are coming which is GREAT!  April will be a busy month for me as well.  I'm headed out to TX to train with Monica Brant for a few days.  She's going to help me on my posing for Figure....and show me how to present the best package on stage :)  I'm excited for my trip!  I'll pick out my suit colors and probably have my suits made in April....I have some colors in mind...but nothing set in stone yet. Well...off to do more office work...and tomorrow is my day off from training everything...NO CARDIO>>NO LIFTING>>>NADDA!  I'm looking forward to just training clients :)

Steve and I are all packed and ready to head to Columbus, Ohio for the Arnold Classic 2006!  I'm so excited to go and see everyone compete...as well as tuling around the Expo.  Of course I'll be networking as well :)!  We'll take lots of pics and I'll be sure to post them on the site for you to see.  I'll enjoy myself this weekend...then it'll be time to watch what goes into the old mouth..as my competition will be here before I know it.  I got a nice early Birthday surprise..., my girlfriend from CA is coming to visit me in a few weeks for my Birthday!!!  I can't wait!! Thanks Lex...can't wait to see you.  I suppose I could sneak in 1 piece of cake then...:)  Off to bed as we are getting up at 4am...yikes...I can never sleep the night before a trip.

It's Valentine's day!!!  Steve and I trained together at the gym....I lifted shoulder's/tri's, Steve did hams/calves.  We both had a good workout.  Taylor had fun at her Valentine's Day party at school with all of her friends.  Steve and I will get our night out on Sunday which I am so looking forward too!  I did a bunch of cooking yesterday and today.  Cooked 4lbs of groung turkey for steve yesterday and 7lbs of chicken today for me :)  I have 1 more week till I go back and see Todd, so it's serious training and eating for the remainder.  Hope you all have a GREAT Valentine's Day!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've written....but I've been busy!  I've been training NEW clients and working on my website as well as other stuff.  Steve and I have been training really hard in the gym together...it's so nice that we get to share that common interest.  He can really push me...which is GREAT!  My goal is to hopefully put on some more muscle mass before I go and get pinched again by Todd on the 22nd.  Plus, we have the Arnold Classic coming up and of course we want to look our best.  I'm excited to see Monica Brant on stage....and Taylor can't wait to meet her.  Taylor also wants her picture taken with Ronnie Coleman....she really likes all of his muscles :)  We are headed to Disney On Ice Princess Classics in the morning tomorrow, so our workouts will be pushed back to later in the day.  I'll be up early to get my cardio in and train a client before we leave.  Other then that...all is well and we are all traing hard.  Hope you all are training hard as well :) Gretch

I've been busy working on my web site....a little each day.  Steve and I trained quads together today and we had a great workout!  I finished it off on my favorite piece of cardio equipment, the gauntlet or stepmill.  That thing kicks my butt!  Especially after training legs.  I can't believe it's 2006 already...geese time flies.  Time to get some zzz's!

Today was a busy day..but all days are busy!  I stocked up on all of our foods from Costco....can I  buy stock in protein???? Chicken?? Turkey??  Now to cook it all.  Steve eats a lot of ground turkey breast, so we cooked 6lbs of that today, for him.  I on the other hand...cooked 14lbs of chicken last night...so we are good for a few days!  It's much easier if I have all the foods cooked and in the fridge waiting to eat, as opposed to cooking each meal.  I'll be cooking some yummy Parrillo protein pancakes tonight, they are a great snack...nice and light.  I trained quads and biceps today, Steve wasn't feeling to well, so he sat this one out.  I had a really good workout.  I ended my workout on my fav., the gauntlet for 20min.  Well, off to make pancakes, clean the house and get ready for my clients tomorrow morning!
