Hello everyone!

Well, some of you might of tried to visit my website to find it was down. Yes, I took it down for awhile so I could figure some things out. But, as time went on, I realized how much I truly missed hearing from you and being able to communicate with the fitness community! My life has become very busy with my company and my two teenagers! But, I need to realize that I have to make time for myself! Even though I told people that I trained, this very same thing, it is easier said than done!

My shoulder is completely healed and I feel great! Just need to remove this excess weight that has accumulated due to over working, poor eating choices and lack of exercise! But I have started training again and I am very excited to be back in the swing of things! My family is excited to have Mom back in her "no excuses!" mode! Sometimes we need to see where we could go, to get back to where we were and be even more positive and appreciative than before!

My daughter, who is a Freshman in high school informed me that some of her friends had looked me up on the internet and were a little shocked to see that I was figure competitor! Yes, this is one of the things that I have had to deal with and it has been a learning lesson, for sure! But, it also has been a great incentive to train and stay in shape! I want my kids to be proud of me and to want to tell people what I do! My goal is to be able to help anyone who needs it, no matter what their age!

So I plan on writing to you a lot and I hope that you will write me if you need anything as well! Life is a journey. It is up to us to choose the path we will take!

Yours in fitness!
Tamara Carousos
