Hello everyone I hope you are all having a great weekend!! I just got back from the Palm Beach Pro Figure and Fitness ... it was awesome and I loved it there. Besides seeing the ladies in great shape and all their hard work paying off I had fun as well, it even included my 23rd birthday on October 14th!

Team FigureRX is going really well, we have an incredible group of athletes on the team and I am helping to design our clothing so we will be *really* noticeable at the NPC national events next year!! We will probably be expanding the team early next year and we will be launching new areas of the web site over the holidays. I had my first journalism gig while in Palm Beach, interviewing all the pro athletes, and expect to be doing it again at the Kentucky Muscle Pro in a few weeks. Wow, we will get to see Elaine Goodlad on stage in Kentucky!! Make sure you check out the video of me interviewing the girls after finals in PB. I'm happy for everyone who placed well, I think all the competitors looked great, and the fitness routines were awesome. I give props to Hollie, after falling off the stage, and getting back up, she looked calm and poised and her routine was nailed to the "T." I loved Julie Lohre's routine and I really wish she had placed first but Palmer's routine was enjoyable and flawless as well.

As for figure, I knew Gina had it in the bag, she looked perfect, and not too much. I really think Paola looked her best ever! And she is the sweetest girl I know, good work girl! I can't wait to be on stage next to you again one day! You're the best! I'm so glad that you qualified for the Olympia like I knew that you would. I also want to give Heather Green a shout out because she held her own and really deserved a better placing in my eyes, she looked beautiful. Tivisay you are beautiful and what a debut, and Natalie and Claire great to meet you and what great packages you bring to the stage. Michelle we will be pulling hard for you in Sacramento. And Brandie, so great to see a fellow Tampa girl as emcee you looked stunning and you did a wonderful job. The top five girls all looked incredible, and so did the other figure athletes. I'm glad I was there to see it all.
My training is going well, and so is my dieting, and I'm glad to be ahead of the game for next year, no last minute prep, and will be back on stage in May looking better than ever.
To all my friends and fans, I am very happy and positive about what I will have going in the near future. My baby girl Layla says woof woof to everyone she has been a really good girl like always. I want to thank my Dad and my family for really being there for me over the past couple of months, I could not have come through everything that I have without your help and now things are better than ever!! Also my whole entire team especially Jamie and Allison and Stephen (pic below) for being patient with me as I battled my injury during the last half of this season, thanks for having faith and so much patience. There will be a new webcam launch on my site along with the chat area at FigureRX so be sure to check me out in both places. My fantasy football team has only one loss (hee hee) but this is a tough week with LaDanian not playing so root for my QB McNabb, my TB Bucs Joey Galloway and the new running back who replaced Cadillac and also the Patriots defense!! Yay! It was sad to see our home town USF Bulls lose but the run for the national championship was fun while it lasted.
Keep enjoying the weekend, go sign up for FigureRX and my web site so you can chat with me at both places and post in my back stage area!!

Love and hugs,
Dani
