I just wanted to share this picture I found today as I was going through my computer.

It is of my baby, Beau.

I know I haven't updated my blog in a while, but I promise to do it in the next few days.

By the way, I have updated my website with a great new gallery! I am still updating my site twice per week, so please stop by and take a look! :)

Long time no write! Yes it has been, but I am going to make sure I change this. I have been so busy with work....it has been a wonderful year! And the house is coming along beautifully; there's always something to do with it, either outside or in. Training has been pretty consistent, so no complaints there, except I have to squeeze it in on some days when the schedule is full. Of course spending time with Amanda as much as possible is always on the top of my list! We have so much fun together, whether we are just chillin', training, shopping or visiting with friends. We love to go to this local sports bar called "Mazzy's", where we eat lots of great food after training, or go to catch a game on the weekend, and yes..eat! They have excellent food, with a great atmosphere.
In case you 're wondering, I like to watch the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat(b/c D. Wade is awesome), various football teams, and the Braves for baseball.
You could say we are regulars there, and are treated very nicely!
Anyway, having Amanda in my life has been such a blessing. She is the most caring person I have ever known. On the flip side of that, she appreciates everything, big and small. So many simple things in life can go unnoticed between two people in a relationship. We definately cherish all we have, and always try to give to one another. Sure makes life wonderful!
We went to Michigan for Thanksgiving to spend the holiday weekend with my (her new) family.
Christmas will be spent here in Georgia with her mom. I am very happy to do this! Denise and I have a great time with each other--always! She is an incredible lady, with a heart of gold! I know where her daughter gets it. I would do anything for her, just as I would for my blood relatives. We should have a fantastic holiday together. I want to take us to The Waverly for brunch. It is the most incredible brunch buffet in Atlanta. Am I talking about food again?
That would be on Christmas Eve. Maybe we'll cook just a little bit for Christmas Day.
She lives about 25-30 minutes from us. She has an incredible house also. Let's just say Florida real estate is outrageous, so you can imagine what she owns now! Smart move Mom! Besides she's close to her girls now! Makes all of us so happy.
Can you believe this year is coming to an end? Seems like it just sped passed us since about July! It has been a year filled with lots of events for us, some bringing emotional highs and then some lows. Amanda graduating from PTA School, moving and taking the Georgia Board; her mom moving here; my niece Breanna married her long time sweetheart Mike; Beau passing away...but remains right here with me; Family matters, mattering.
All I can say is "thank God for His grace! Amen". I seriously don't know how people get through life without any faith or belief in a higher power. Personally, my spiritual life is dependant on Jesus Christ as my Savior. My human life has been saved more times than I can count, beginning shortly after birth, and continues on every day I wake up breathing.
I like to say I am a spirit having a human experience. And Beau was a spirit having a human experience, while trapped in a dog's body! Lol.
Ok, time to make some dinner. Amanda just got home from coaching the girls, so we're both pretty hungry!
Take care and be safe, and smile at a stranger today! Or help an elderly person.

Love,
Mimi

Hi there! It's Sunday, and a lazy one at that! We finally got some rain here in Atlanta! Last night, and again this morning....great for keeping me on the sofa, but also for the lawn and flowers! We planted more flowers yesterday. I worked for a bit first, while Amanda went to Pike's Nursery and picked a few new beauties to add to the front area of the house. So she, Kevin, and I planted them, just about the time Andy rolled in and helped with the finishing touches of pine bark mulch. What a difference that stuff makes! Looks like it should be in Better Homes and Garden...LOL. Then we planted the Granny Smith Apple tree! I really hope that survives the heat and produces lots of apples!
Ok, so that took up the whole day. I didn't finish working until 1:30, so I got a late start outside. We were starved by then! So we showered and went out to dinner. It was a great day of course. So today we are takin' it easy. We will train though. We are having a good time training lately. Workouts are good and hard. The better we eat, in terms of more calories and frequency, the greater the pump! I love training with Amanda.
We are looking forward to going to Vegas! The USA should be interesting this year. We will have so much fun, don't you think? Hans will be meeting us there, which is wonderful! We are planning to sleep as little as possible, eat as much as possible, and hit every crazy spot in town. What a perfect place to see a contest, and NOT be dieting OR competing! Well, I hope you all have a terrific Sunday! Check out my updates, and if you haven't joined yet, what are you waiting for??!

Love and blessings!

hi everyone!

I'm just getting ready to see a few patients, but before they get here I wanted to post a couple pics that Amanda took. This is Beau and me on the futon while Amanda was on the computer the other night. :) Isn't he so cute!?? Look at that face! :)

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick picture with you from when I was only 10 years old! :) My parents put me behind bars at Knott's Berry Farm in California...

I'm going to be adding an entire gallery of older pictures for you guys to see! You will love them!

Hi Everyone!!!
I am in Ft Myers, but I will be heading back to Atanta (Marietta) tomorrow!
Amanda is moving finally...long awaited, but the time has arrived!
I have been down here for a couple of weeks, without internet at home, so I apologize
for being out of touch.
I came down for her birthday, and stayed for some R&R. She has been wrapping up
clinical school requirements, while we have been training and preparing for the move.
Right now, we are at an internet cafe, which we stopped in on our way home from the gym.
I said, "I better drop a line in my journal, before I get kicked to the curb!" Lol.
So we'll head home, eat, pack the car, etc.
We are looking forward to the drive tomorrow. I bought a book by Joyce Myer called The
Mind Is A Battlefield. I plan to read it aloud while Amanda drives. That, along with
a couple of memorable stops, and it should be a great roadtrip.
I miss Beau sooooo much! I can't wait to hug and kiss him! He's so cute when I pick him up
and he puts his head down on my shoulder to hug me back! Ooh what a babyboy!
Well, I will let you all know how the drive went once I get back to Georgia!
I have missed being online. Take care Everybody! Don't for get to send your Mother's Day
gifts soon!

Be safe and Be Blessed!

Mimi xoxo

Heyyyy!

It's been too long, I know, and I apologize. I have been meaning to squeeze in a post( or many), but Lord knows I have been a crazy busy woman lately.
Trying to find time for my own pleasure, leisure or just sanity has been nearly
impossible. I'm not complaining though. Things have been really great.
For those of you who read Amanda's journal, you already know that she and Colette were here in Atlanta and we had a wonderful time. Amanda was here Sunday- Friday; Colette Thursday- Sunday. Amanda had to work the weekend,
which was a bummer, but allowed Colette and I to spend a little time together,
and become friends with one another. We spent a little time together at the Nationals, but it was constrained to contest needs and attention of mine, while she was quite busy working her hair and makeover magic on many competitors.
So this was so cool to be in a relaxed environment, with no worries other than
when and what to eat and train. We squeezed in some Chiropractic Care and body work for her also. It made me really happy to offer some help where she
was feeling the affects of her super-human-woman-like training.
We went out for sushi Saturday night before she headed back to NY, and I flew to Ft. Myers.
We really had a great time, and shared some excellent conversation about life
and it's many meanings. Of course we tried to cause an ear-burning a time or two for Amanda . ;)
I am looking forward to us going to New York for a visit. That will definately
have to be a time where we are NOT dieting, ya know what I mean?
Best food is in NYC.
So my trip to Ft Myers was excellent of course, but as always, too darn short in time. My folks were there also, staying with my sister Chris and her husband
Mike at their beach house. My sister Diane drove over from West Palm Beach, directly across the state to Ft. M.
My mom's 76th birthday was March 21st so that was so nice for us all to be there to celebrate. It was the first time for my parents and Amanda to meet.
They loved her immediately! (How could they not?)
And she mutually was taken to them. My sisters have spent quite a bit of time with her already, so that's very familiar for everyone. There's a peace and comfort between us all that is quite amazing.
I love it! Michele couldn't be there though. She is in Oklahoma City. We missed her so much. She might go to Ft Myers at the end of April to stay with Chris at the same time I will be there to move Amanda up to Georgia after her last day of school. We want Michele to visit us in Atlanta soon as well.
Anyway, I am back in Georgia, in full effect; working, training, preparing for our "homecoming" in May, getting the house together(still)....

There's a natural bodybuilding show this weekend here in Marietta. SNBF is the organization. I met superb guy, Terrence ("Tee"), who is entering.
He approached me to congratulate me on the Nats., and asked for a bit of help with his posing since it is his first contest. He had been following a diet out of a magazine, so you can imagine it was a little off track, since it wasn't a true precontest diet. So I just couldn't let this first timer go into this thing blindfolded. We are so excited about his progress! What an incredible athlete, but not just that, a wonderful spouse and father of 3. He's a firefighter here in town. He is going to shine for sure! Amanda and Colette met him while they were here. You should have seen the three of us swarming around this newbie;
a triple team posing session! It was awesome. He comes over so he can get on
the webcam for Amanda to check his shape. So cute.
I think he's already been bitten by "the bug", and hasn't even stepped on stage yet. He's 34 years old. An athlete, and quite a natural one!
With a brain and a heart to boot!
What an incredible love and support by Sharon, his other half. She is on the ball! They do so well together, with three beautiful children.

The video clips of me adjusting Rick Deleo are great, aren't they?
He's a very good friend, and we grab a workout together at times, when it
is possible. Such an amazing person. I love his son Mike, too. He loves to get
his adjustments as well. He's in high school, on the track team right now, and LOVES to go to the gym! He's so cute....health conscious and always asking for
eating tips. I think Rick was feeling like I created a monster at one point when
Mike decided to primarily eat organic! Ha ha.
He has another son Chris, but I don't see him as often. His wife Cheryl is a sweetie too.

Well, I will be back soon to let you know how the competition fairs this weekend! It should be lots of fun. I just wish Amanda could be here for it. Ugh.
Oh well, soon enough. XO

Be safe and be blessed!

Hugs for all,

Mimi

Hey there!

It's a couple of days later than I planned, but nonetheless, I have more to write about. Last weekend was great! We (Kevin, Andy and I) worked in the front yard and got so much accomplished! Ok, THEY did it all! I just raked a bit, and bagged some pine, leaves, weeds, etc. It was nothing compared to the
major yard "make-over" they have done so far. I'm slowly learning. Amanda will be very surprised when she sees it Sunday. I can't wait.
Kevin and Andy live next door. I have been best friends with them for awhile now. I have some incredibly wonderful people in my life who are very close to
me. They are two of them, and I love them so very much. Thanks to Kevin,
we grabbed this house as soon as it hit the market.
Anyway, they are honest, kind, trustworthy, and "real" people. A lot of fun too!
Beau stays with them and their three dogs when we are out of town. He loves it over there! Sometimes he goes to their door and will not leave the doorstep!
I think he thinks he lives there, and visits here! So funny!

I had dinner with "Bigcoach" Saturday night. He was in town for a coaching
clinic and invited me to have dinner with him. We had such a great time!
We talked about everything, ate a terrific meal, and then went for ice cream afterward. What a wonderful man! So considerate of others, with a high regard for family and community values. I was so impressed. He gave me a pullover jacket for Amanda and one for me from the high school where he coaches football and teaches, the Anniston Bulldogs. They are really nice!
Thanks Bigcoach! Love ya!

Training is going really well! I trained Delts today...a totally awesome workout
with Chip as usual. Chip is another best and closest friend of mine that I love
to train with. I always have terrific workouts with him. We have been training together , when our schedules have permitted, for the past three years. These
have been my best years by the way. I truly enjoy his training style. Always a
perfect combination of intensity, challenge, and muscle targeting, while at the same time effecting an engorged muscle at a primal level.
Chip is going on a business trip to L.A. tomorrow, so I'll be on my own until Amanda gets back on Sunday.
We will be shooting more videos! Some training, some candids...just what
most of you like! It will be fun for us as usual, with such great incentives!
Talk about inspiring! You get it on video- we get it live! Just thinking about it
fires me up!

Well, time to shower, grab a protein drink and hit the pillow.

Hope you are enjoying my updates!

Be blessed!
Love,
Mimi

Hey there!

I am happy to say I am feeling muuuuch better! Remember my trip to Michigan? Well, I wound up getting sick upon returning home to Georgia.
That adorable little Tommie, my great- nephew, that i couldn't keep my lips off...? Well he gave me his flu. It would be fine if he really was better because of it, but I think not.
Believe me, we all left there with the crud. Diane, Michele, (my sisters) and my niece Brooke. She's 23. We hung out a lot while I was there. She's very sweet. Mature, which I like. She was my chauffeur.
Anyway, I made it through a workout today, so I must be getting well again.
I thought it would be good to stimulate and contract my back muscles since I have been coughing so much. As you know, the back muscles are attached to the rib cage, which houses the lungs....so it was good to work that area.
Circulation, nerve supply....PUMPING IT UP! What a great feeling!
Then I flipped the script onto my chest and worked the front! Balance, balance,
balance.
I felt badly about being sick around Amanda. She was here Friday thru Monday. Gosh, I hope she doesn't get it.
We did some shopping, which was so much fun. We bought a Futon for the guest bedroom. It will be delivered tomorrow, but the cover is being custom-
made, so it won't be here for about a week or so. Just in time for Colette's(Nelson) visit here in March. We will have such a wonderful time! The three
of us...I can't wait. Amanda will be here for Spring break for a few days, and
Colette for a long weekend. I can't wait! Thank God none of us will be dieting!
I plan to do some work on Colette...she needs some chiropractic and body work!
She is always on the go, and trains like a monster! Hang in there Sweetie!
You'll be in good hands very soon. I hope you are chillin' out for now, especially
if you want to train while you're here.
Amanda's Stairmaster will be here tomorrow as well! Lots of great things being
moved around! So this room will be finished soon!
You all should have seen how cute she was raking the front yard last weekend!
I took pictures! I was confined to working indoors due to my infermia.
We got a lot accomplished around here. Always a great feeling.

My site is doing soooo well! Thanks to all of you out there! Lots of love and appreciation from me to you.
Well, I better run. I need to make something to eat before American Idol comes on!

Hugs and kisses!

Mimi

hugs and kisses

Brrrrrr...

Hey there!
I am still in Michigan, where it's colder than a mother-in- law's heart! (not mine of course..ha ha)
Last night it was below zero, and when my sister Diane and my niece Brooke dropped me
and my sister Michele off at Mom and Dad's (after a very late dinner) we really felt
the brutal chill to the bone while locked out of the house!

Yesterday we had a family dinner/birthday celebration for me, Tommie and Eric.
We ate some great food cooked by Mom, and then homemade chocolate cake with ice cream.
It wasn't long before we all headed to Chuck E Cheese for the final celebration of the day.
Yes, i had pizza....of course! It is very bad luck to decline pizza from The Almighty Chuck.
By the way, this day of festivities began with family photos at Glamour Shots.
It was a long day.

So I head back to Atlanta tomorrow. Looking forward to getting back to Beau (my babyboy),
the house, work and training!
And some warmer weather, ya know?

Amanda arrives Thursday, which i am so looking forward to. We have some things to do
around the house, shopping, decorating, etc. We can't wait!.
We are going to get together with dear friends Chip and Stormy this weekend. I have been best
friends with Chip for some time now, and have trained with him for about 3 years now.
He is such a wonderful person. I love him, his wife Stormy and son Matthew so much.
Stormy is a doll! So sweet. Matthew is the cutest!
So we will have a great time I'm sure. I just wish Amanda didn't have to go back to Fla.
Monday night. There's never enough time together! May can't get here soon enough.

I had such a wonderful time there last week. We went to her mom's Monday night after
training. I love spending time with her family. Mom(Denise ) is so sweet. She's a lot of fun
too. She just had knee surgery not too long ago. I worked on her knee for a while, and then
Amanda took it through some rehab also. What a team!
Stacy (Amanda's sis) and Darnell were there also. I adjusted her neck and jaw as well. She's been having headaches.
It was a cool visit as usual. Just love them all so much.

Anyway, back to Hotlanta tomorrow. I'm ready to get home.

Hope you all had a terrific weekend!

Love to all!

Mimi xoxo

Hello Everybody!
How are you all doing today? I want to first thank every one of my new
members so far. My website is dong amazingly well, thanks to all of you. It is soooo
great to have such a rocket launch! I really do appreciate each and every one of you.

I was wondering if i should write in my journal like I have, directly to you, or as if I'm writing a diary. I chose to keep it direct and personable.

I have been in Ft Myers since early Monday morning. I came to spend a few days with
Amanda, before going to Michigan to see my family again. My birthday is tomorrow, the 17th, along with my niece Nikki, and her husband Tommie's little boy (Tommie as well).
It is his first birthday! Yes born on my birthday! I love it! He's soooo beautiful.
Big Tommie(Boyd), once played for the Detroit Lions, and it looks like "little Tommie"
is carrying the genetic ball now. Nikki also has a 9 year old daughtger, Alexis. She's beautiful as well.
My niece Kristen, Nikki's sister, has a son, Eric, turning 8 today, who is also an excellent natural athlete. So we are all celebrating birthays together Saturday. Dinner at Mom and Dad's, then Chuck E Cheese of course! Eric has an older brother, Michael, who is very gifted intellectually, with a heart of gold. He's 10.

So, it all sounds like fun, but i hate to leave Amanda tonight. She would go with me, however
she has to work this weekend since she has next weekend off.

Training is going very well. I love to train with Amanda when we get the chance. We are
getting to know each other's thought processes and training styles, while sharing different
exercises and techniques. Looks like a winning combination all around..;)

It's awesome to have such a driving, supportive force behind me with everything i am doing.
She always has terrific ideas, advice, and a willingness to achieve only the best in every situation. Yes, Andy created a bangin' site for me, but it is because of Amanda's initiative,
diligence, decisiveness, loyalty and determination that it is such a success thus far.
I have so much respect for this woman. I love you Baby.

Well, gotta run and grab lunch. Hungry these days!

Have a super day and be blessed!

Love,

Mimi

Welcome....!

2006-02-09T18:55:00.001-08:00

Well, i finally have a website! I have to tell you, it would have never happened without Amanda. She is responsible for contacting Andy and keeping this ball rolling until the desired end result was achieved. Andy was so awesome, and obviously put a lot of time and energy into this project. His talent is really seen here! Job well done by the both of you....
thank you!
I want to encourage and welcome any feedback from you all! This is my first site, so I
want to learn as much as possible about what works and what makes a site successful.
I think I know that entails keeping everyone updated and therefore, happy.
So, keep that in mind and feel free to give me your opinions or imput about this long over due
piece of work. The timing couldn't be better though!

I hope you all enjoy!!

Mimi

Welcome....!
