Reflecting back on 2009…

I just want to reflect back on my wonderful 2009 year. So many great memories and experiences! I have grown so much as an individual that I am really proud of myself. Every goal I accomplised and every obstacle that presented itself, made me who I am today. Both the good and bad this past year were life lessons to personal growth! I just want to start off by recapping my 2009 year…

January 2009– It was a great start! I rang in the 2009 New Years in Las Vegas with my husband and friends! It was truly a great time! Can’t beat being in Las Vegas for the New Years! I came back from Vegas and hopped on my competition program becuase it was a big competing year for me! My first competition I was training for 2009 was the NPC Orlando Europa Supershow to qualify for the NPC Bikini Nationals. I had a bump in the road this January becuase I had to have endometriosis surgery. This kept me from training for 3 weeks. I had to rely on nutrition during that time. (The surgery went well and I was cleared back to training in Feb.) I ended the month by doing an appearance at Custom Muscle, a supplement store owned by WWE stars Jackie and Charlie Haas, in Texas. It was so much fun promoting the Gaspari Nutrition line to fellow Texans! I met a ton of WWE stars as well. They have so many loyal fans, the line to get into the store was hours long! CRAZY! But fun! Also, the month of January is a crazy month for people to go back to the gym with their fitness New Years resolutions. My personal training business took off really well! I have made great friends with the clients I took on. We will be friends for life. I love my clients!

Febuary 2009– I got released to workout the second week of Febuary. They said I had to take it slow for two weeks (if you know me, I don’t do slow! LOL!) I followed the doctors orders and end up taking yoga which I absolutely fell in love with! I did that for two weeks and then hit the weights after the two week “take it slow” clearance. I continued to incorporate yoga with my training routine. My personal training business was still busy. It was a great month! I ended the month by going on a ski trip with my husband, my client and her husband, and some new friends. We went to Park Cities, Utah for 5 days. What a great place to ski! We went to a different mountain everyday! I skied everyday I was there, all day long! I lost 5 lbs. that week and my legs were sore in a different way than my leg training. Believe it or not, I still weight trained everyday before I went skiing. I trained at Silver Mountain sports club. A great facility if you are ever in Park Cities.

March 2009– I went from my ski trip back to Dallas for one day, only to repack for the Arnold in Columbus, Ohio. I LOVE THE ARNOLD!! If you have never gone before, you need to go! This was my first introduction to the fitness and bodybuilding world. It is a HUGE 3 day event that has anything and everything to do with fitness and supplements! You will get a ton of free samples to last a year! NOT KIDDING! People have come back from the Arnold with thousands of dollars in free supplements! I worked for my sponsor Gaspari Nutrition! They always have a HUGE booth with a great team of athletes! We passed out samples of Gaspari’s new products and signed autographs for the fans. Then from Columbus, Ohio, I went to Franklin, TN with the Gaspari Team to speak at the Dragon’s Den. The Dragon’s Den is Rich Gaspari’s way to give back to the bodybuilding community. We throw a seminar to talk about health, nutrition, competition, training, supplements, and so much more!!! The best part about the seminar is the SuperPump Challenge. If you would like to know more about the Dragon’s den seminar, please go to www.gasparinutrition.com.  I ended the month by flying to Lincoln, Nebraska for the Max Muscle 10th anniversary. This event was awesome! I got to meet a ton of celebrities, UFC fighter Shawn Sherk, and the great people of Nebraska! I signed autographs and did a radio show. The people of Nebraka remind me of the people of Texas. Reminded me of home. Thank you Lincoln, Nebraska!

April 2009– This month was a memorable month. One of my clients lost 25 lbs. since January, so I threw her a transformation party. I love it when my clients work hard, it inspires me to work hard as well. I am so proud of my clients. They are like my kids. When I see them accomplish their fitness goals, it is like watching them graduate. I watch them grow as a person. Such a beautiful month. Makes me proud to be a trainer! Then it was on to compete at my first show. Wow, I was so nervous!! I didn’t know what to expect. So many beautiful girls. The NPC bikini category was so new, no one knew what to expect. To my surprise, I won my first NPC show and took the Overall in the Bikini category! Yay! Hard work had paid off, but I still need to tweak my body. This was only the beginning!

May 2009– May was a fun month for me. I got to fly out to do my very first commercial for my Marzia Prince Ladies Lean and Fit Stack for Gaspari Nutrition. This was my first time reading a teleprompter. It turned out great for the exception of my teleprompter reading skills, LOL! I have a lot to learn, but not bad for my first time. I promise I will get better. It takes time and experience. After that fun weekend, it was on the the Jr. USA’s to see which bikini girls will get their pro cards. What an exciting and nerve racking weekend! I placed 2nd in F class. I was really happy with that. I feel like my nerves got the best of me and I didn’t bring my personality to the stage. Backstage I had a blast with Stacey Oster, Gina Ostarly, and Jennifer Buckles. Can’t wait to do it again. Jennifer Buckles lives in my hometown, we know are really good friends. My husband and I go on double dates with her and her husband Brett. Good people, love them! Stacey Oster and Shelsea Montez were the very first bikini girls to win thier pro cards. They worked so hard and earned it. Both love the sport of competing and are great girls to share the stage with. I am looking forward to sharing the pro stage with them in 2010! Go bikini girls!

June 2009-Since I got second in the Jr. USA’s, it really kicked up my motivation factor for the next show. I was gioing to compete every show till I got my pro card! I was determined. I kicked up the trained and tightened the diet some more. I worked hard till June 19th. This was the Jr. Nationals. This was my third NPC show at this point that I was much more relaxed, focused, and put together. Everything came togehter for me at this show. My tan, hair, make up, personality, walk, poise, and of course- my body. (I still wished I was leaner for this show, but I am my own worst critic.) I had a good feeling about this show, and the feeling was right! I won my pro card and took home the overall! I felt so honored to be among the pro bikini girls. I am all about being grateful, and I was super grateful about this moment. (Actually, I still am right now.)This is BIG for me. Big for all the bikini pros for IFBB. We are the pioneers of this new division. We will be making history! I am so happy and honored to be a part of the IFBB! It is our job to set the standard for the IFBB Bikini Pros! I will not let them down. I am here to spread the word of health and fitness to the world. It is my mission. Being a part of the IFBB is a fun way to help other become a part of this industry. I also, go to fly out to LA to shoot for Muscular Development Magazine. They did a 10 page layout on me that came out in August 2009. It was one of my best layouts. I got to shoot with the famous fitness photographer Per Bernal. Love his work! I also got to shoot with Derek Caballero for my own portfolio. He has shot for many great magazines like Harper’s Bazzar and GQ. What an honor to shoot with him. At the end of the month, I took time to focus on my personal training business again. (Competing takes your focus off of everything!) I needed to regroup, take a little time off, and re-evaluate all my goals since the year was half over. So that is what I did! I focused on my personal training business, myself, and my family. It was relaxing towards the end of the month. I needed it!

July 2009– Got to work the UFC 100 in Las Vegas for Gaspari Nutriton! We had a great team go and it was a blast! I love Vegas! My August 2009 Muscular Development layout came out on July 15th. It came out better than I thought it would! It was my favorite one so far! I enjoyed the summer with my family, frineds, and clients! I was still keeping up with yoga too. Proud of myself!

August 2009– This was a busy month. I had everyday day booked with something! My husband and I tried out for the Amazing Race tryouts (one of my favorite reality shows). Had fun, but didn’t make it. Then it was off to Jensen Beach to shoot with Walt Ostarly! I love shooting with him . He is so much fun. On this trip my husband got to come along and meet Walt and Gina Ostarly. They are such a sweet couple! Good people too! I wished they lived in Dallas or we lived there. I would totally hang out them if they lived close. We had a great shoot and came out with some fun shots. He got me published again. He got me my second Natural Muscle cover. Ladies, if you are looking to shoot with a great fitness photographer, Walt is your man! He always gets his girls published! I also, had my second shoot with Muscular Development magazine this year. It was for Gaspari Nutrition. We did a “Girls of MetroFlex Gym” shoot. That was a blast! Everybody was there for that shoot! My husband took some great behind the scenes shots. Fun times! The best thing about that shoot was Ava Cowan. Her body was so unbelievable, I was so inspired! She was a great addition to the Gaspari Team. Glad to have her on board. Then after that, it was off to San Diego to to a huge fitness and bodybuilding event called 619 Muscle. There were tons of fitness and bodybuilding celebrities (like Jay Cutler) there. I got to hang with Tanji Johnson (Stealth on American Gladiator), who is also a part of team Gaspari. I ended the month by going to LA with my husband. I had a shoot with Derek Caballero again. This time we went to the Mirage Dessert to shoot! HOT, but fun! Once again we came out with some smoking hot images! Such a talented photographer.

September 2009-It was back to focusing on my personal training business again. It was doing really well. I couldn’t be any more grateful. I just kept focusing on my training. I ended September with the famous Olympia! It is always a blast working with Team Gaspari. Jay Cutler won Mr. Olympia. It was a great show. Rich Gaspari throws a hell of an after party as always and we did it right at XS at the Encore hotel. I also shot my 3rd Natural Muscle cover. It was a group shot with a great group a fitness leaders and stars in my industry. I was honored to be a part of this cover! It inspires me to keep my healthy lifestyle up for me!

October 2009- This was another very busy month for me! I started off by flying to Chicago to do an appearane with Mark Alvisi. Then it was off to Florida to be a judge on The Ultimate Body reality show. I was a fitness celebrity judge. What a fun experience! I loved meeting all the contestants. We had a great turnout! Thank you to all that came to this casting call! Then I did a photoshoot with Sivad. His work ROCKS! We did a fun shoot for my portfolio. I ended the month by shooting my very first Marzia Prince’s Bikini Body Workout Mix! I paired up with Power Music and we came up with an AWESOME workout mix! If you wanted to be coached by me, here is your chance! I coach you through your hour workout. I also, shot 5 workout podcast. You can download both of them at the itunes store or you can get it at Amazon, Walmart, or www.workoutmusic.com. I want to thank Power Music, Jennifer and Brett Buckles, Sandy Crosslin, and my husband for helping me through this very long day. Not only did I record my voice for the workout mix, I shot 5 workout videos! Yes, 5 workout  videos which you can downlaod at itunes for free. Thank you to all fans that bought this mix! You guys are my inspiration and made this possible for me! Thank you! I also contacting Layne Norton to help me tweak my off season program. Yes, as a fitness prefessional, it is important to get help from other fitnes professional. I love to learn which helps me grow and become a better trainer! I am open to other training methods than my own. I am constantly seeking advice from other professionals in my industry. So, he coached me on some new training advice to come in better conditioned for my 2010 pro show. It was totally different than my current program. Being 5’9″ with a thin build, it has been hard to put on muscle. I am lean, but would like to come in a little fuller for my bikini pro shows. So he designed a power lifting program! Yes, you heard right. A power lifting program. I have to say I feel really strong! I can now leg press 568 lbs! You read that right! I am impressed with myself! Looking forward to what my body looks like when it comes to dieting down for 2010! This advice (Layne Norton) was a tip passed down from Ava Cowan. Thanks Ava for giving me this fitness advice.

November 2009-I started this month by judging the Ms. White Rock Lake pageant. This is a precursor to the Ms Texas pageant. What an inspiring day for me. These young women inspired and motivated me. These ladies are very motivated to conquer life. They have done so much in their young lives, I was so impressed! I didn’t have to fly anywhere this month and wanted to focus on my off season training. So that is what I did, I kept pressing on with my off season program. I also did a hair extension commercial for the infamous hair pro, Gia Woods. This was my first time ever having bonded hair extensions. I have to say, I love them! I am going to be sporting them for my pro shows this year. I love how long and full my hair looks. I have always had long hair, but not this full. It looks so real too. Thanks Gia! I ended the month with the Thanksgiving holiday with family! Love the holidays!

December 2009– It was my last trip of the year. The Ultimate Body reality show had one more casting call before we picked the contestants. I flew to Miami for the casting. I think we found the final individuals for the show. We had so many great personalities and stories! Wow, the stories! Can’t wait to watch the show. The taping begans in January 2010. Thanks to all of you who came out! I had a wonderful holiday season with my family. I spent Christmas at my husband’s family. We had a blast watching the lil ones play with thier new toys! Ahhh, the joys of being a kid again. They appreciate anything! I love thier little faces. I ended the month by having my last girls night with some of my good girlfriends who I haven’t seen in over 6 months due to my busy schedule. I had my last favorite cheat of the year with them. We had my Tex-Mex! I won’t be getting any for the next 6 or 7 months or so! I had to get my fix in. I spent New Years with my hubby’s parents. We went to dinner and a movie. It was a calm, casual New Years this year. My husband and I celebrated with our 3 dogs cuddled up on the couch watching the New Years Eve countdown. Heck the next day was the first and I had I was on a mission to train for my 2010 year!

January 2010– I woke up today reflecting on 2009 with a smile. It was a great year! I can’t even imagine what 2010 will bring me at this pace! I am so looking forward to it. C’mon 2010, bring it on!

I want to thank everyone who made my 2009 year a success! I want to thank all my husband, family, friends, clients, Gaspari Nutrition (Rich and Liz Gaspari and Joe Volgey), Chapman Media Group, NPC, the IFBB, Power Music, The Ultimate Body reality show, Muscular Development Magazine, Natural Muscle Magazine, Walt Ostarly, Per Bernal, Derek Caballero, Layne Norton, Ava Cowan, Gia Wood, Jennifer and Brett Buckles, Sandy Crosslin, and Sivad.
