3 days to go – First time in a magazine

So today I saw my ugly mug show up in a copy of Ink in Kansas City.  Local newspaper.

50,000 copies printed.

They are doing athlete features for the upcoming WBFF show.  It’s not a spread or cover but its technically the first time I am in a publication for fitness.  Kind of cool.

The weather here is beautiful.  Warm in the sun and with a slight breeze.  Makes for perfect patio weather to cook up some tilapia and asparagus.

I know lots of people in fitness who get really sick of tilapia as they near their show date.  I can understand that but that’s not me.

The trick is to buy fresh tilapia not the small frozen fillets.  It costs a little bit more but it’s so much better that it’s well worth the extra couple bucks.

Right now I can’t put much on it so I just cook it with real lemons, black peppercorns and asparagus.  So healthy.  So good.

How to get the perfect tan.

The time of scorching yourself in the sun or frying yourself in a tanning bed has come and gone. Thankfully!

When looking to get the perfect tan before a photo shoot, show or just a vacation all you have to do is find a professional spray tanner.

If you are in Kansas I recommend tanperfekt.com  which is where I got one yesterday for my week in sunny Kansas and also because I have a photo shoot Thursday.  They will also be doing my backstage tan before I step on stage with the WBFF.

Some things you should know about getting a spray tan.

1. They usually last about a week.
2. If you exfoliate they come off.
3. If you moisturize then it will last longer.
4. You can get a variety of different tones.
5. Some parts of you will tan darker (Hands, feet, nails, lips) so might need to put a cream or gel over them.  Just follow the directions of whoever is tanning you.

Getting the perfect tan is easy now but it does not replace the positive feeling you get from being out in the sun.  Thank you vitamin D absorption.  This is also why some people get depressed in fall and winter.  Lack of sun or vitamin D.

So tan inside, but still find time for the sun.  Just don’t burn yourself trying to tan.
