What happens in the off-season...stays in the off-season ;)

After several months hiatus from blogging, we certainly have accomplished a lot...Bill with 3 more top 5 finishes as an IFPA Pro, a Team triathlon, MS Ride for charity, 2 daughters graduated from college (one off to dual Law School/MPA degree programs) and the other joining the work-force, moved our business doubling in size, and hiring two great trainers!

Bill and I made the decision to take the competitive season for 2015 off, completely, to focus on our newly expanded business, bring our trainers up to speed, and for the first time celebrate our birthday's and anniversary without anyone dieting!!  Funny, all I want is a quiet night at home - we are taking our vacation in July as part of celebrating the year off, normally diet's would have been started and time off of the gym would be non-existent...

What's next?  May 2016 IFPA Pro Bowl, one or both of us will be on stage.  Physique seems to be calling my name, so perhaps I will give it a whirl...power-lifting, near and dear to my heart, may also find me on "flight" in-between contests.  Bill will continue his IFPA World Championship quest in 2016, which will take place locally in October.

The extended off season...I miss the stage, our competitor families, and the methodical practice of show-prep.  This year, for the first time we will attend the IFPA World Championships as audience members, going in support of Bill's peers...please stand by ;)
