*It Is Well*

Whatever you're going through and whatever the circumstances.. just know that there can be peace! With Christmas approaching, a lot of families have so much to be happy about and to enjoy.. but there are also those who have loved and lost... it is VERY hard, but please know.. It can be well with your soul.
Take six minutes of your time and listen to this story and song. It is truly a blessing to me and I would love to share it with you... it is well with MY soul!
God Bless,

Let's GOOO Mountaineers!

I'm VERY happy to say our WVU Mountaineers made my holiday season with a win over our rivals Pitt!!! I was able to go to the game and spend the weekend in Morgantown with my family! What a great weekend!! I haven't updated in a while but wanted to let you all know I hope you had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and have a VERY Merry Christmas season!
I did get to do a few shoots at the Olympia and also did a video shoot with my fitness moves. It's going to be added soon to the website http://krivstudiosblog.wordpress.com/2009/11/28/fitness-girl-stacy-wright-coming-soon/
You'll have to check out the nice article that was written about me and be sure to let me know what you think!!

There is NO off-season!

Whether it's contest prep or "off-season", what you are doing daily effects what you're going to bring to the stage. Whether you've got 2 weeks until your next show or 7 months.. to be your best you need to apply this to your plan daily....One of my favorite quotes that my husband told me...

"When you are not training, someone else IS. And when you meet them.... they will BEAT YOU!"

Stay focused... train hard!

And just to let you know, new pictures will be added frequently to the galleries... so check back often for updates!! Here is just a preview of what's to come!

*Home Sweet Home*

After all these trips this past month, I can't help but tell you how happy I am to be able to sleep in my own bed and get back to a normal schedule! I miss all the excitement and activities going on.. getting ready for a show..photo shoots.. hair and make-up done to a T, but my body needs some time for rest and relaxation. Hopefully move forward in my fitness career a little more as well. It IS always kind of a let-down though to come home and go back to the normal things of life... laundry, cleaning house, grocery shopping.. and not having a show coming up soon. A lot of competitors have a tough time with this. The binge and rebounding weight, taking time away from the gym, allowing bad habits and decision making to ruin, so quickly, that amazing physique we worked so hard to attain! And I am no where near perfect.. and don't claim to be- but this time is going to be different. To me, I've come to learn there is NO off season! Everything we do plays a part in our next show. Even if it's 9 months or a year away! What we're doing today, will show the next time we're on stage. My goal is to keep that mindset and do each day what I need to do. Because to me... this isn't a hobby or something to do because I'm bored! It's a way of life! And I LOVE this life! So for now, I'm enjoying the end of one season and doing everything I can to move forward and carry it over to an amazing 2010 season!

2009 OLYMPIA

After coming home Sunday from NY, I had to hurry and unpack all my things so I could repack and head to Las Vegas for the 2009 Olympia! Lori & I had a great time! We were there for 6 days and didn't stop the entire time! We were up at 6am in the morning working out... and when the gym at the hotel was full and running over.. we turned the parking lot into our track! We got up and did our track workouts every single morning we were there! We spent the 1st day relaxing - working out, laying out by the pool, getting massages, and then to the Meet The Olympians event. We spent the next couple of days mostly at the expo and competitions where we had 2nd row seats!! It was amazing! We ended up with so much stuff from the expo we both had to buy new gym bags to get it all home! HaHa! We were so excited to be there to witness history when THE MAN, Jay Cutler, won his Mr O. title back!! We thought it couldn't get any better than that. We were wrong! On Sunday, we were able to fit in 3 photo shoots throughout the day! We had a blast!! I can't wait to share the pictures with you! We got to work with some great photographers! The trip was amazing!!! We are already making plans for next year!

Team Universe Results

Wow!! What a weekend in NY! My biggest show to date! It started out with a photoshoot on Friday morning! I can't wait to show you pictures! I had a blast and know we got a lot of great shots!
There were 11 girls in the tall fitness class! My routine went over VERY well on Friday night! I was VERY excited to get to debut the new routine! Saturday morning came and... well, we overshot the physique. We tried a new prep and I peaked too soon. By Saturday morning my muscles had smoothed over. I got 2nd callout in the physique round and had convinced myself I did not make top 5. When we got back for the finals and I walked off stage to learn the outcome, I was congratulated and told to get ready. I had MADE THE TOP 5 and was going to perform my routine again for the night show!! YEAHH!!! I did it!!!! I rocked my routine and pulled off a 4th place finish!!! I was VERY pleased!!! What an honor!
Although I KNOW I could've done better, and my physique HAS looked better... we know exactly what happened and exactly how to fix it! I'll definitely come back 200 times better next year and continue to knock your socks off!! Until then, I'm unpacking from NY and repacking to head to Las Vegas to see the Olympia this weekend with my girl, Lori! I'm going to be taking a million pictures, so be watching for them!

One Week Till Showtime!!

This time next week I will be getting ready to hit the stage at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in NY! Fitness routines friday night, 2 piece physique round Saturday morning, then finals Saturday night. It's going to be a very exciting weekend!!
It's even more exciting to think that this will be my TENTH show!!! That's right, the big 1-0! I started competing back in 2005 and have done 2 shows a year each year. I can't even begin to describe how much I've grown over the years.. physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! This has been an amazing ride and to me, it's still only just beginning! My goal each show is just to improve from the last, and that is what I've done! Constantly learning and growing and trying to be the best ME I can be!
Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted on how it all goes!!
Thank you all for the ongoing support and emails! Your words of encouragement are priceless!
God Bless,
Stacy
