New Opportunities

I know I told you in my last post that I’d tell you my exciting news that I have coming up this weekend..but now there’s even MORE exciting news!!

Last night I got a call from the local magazine that I’ll be doing a photo shoot for on Sept 15th.  The editor said he wanted me to come in to be their model for their October issue’s fitness routine!  Usually this is a 2-3 page spread in their magazine with a bunch of exercises and pictures of a model doing them all.  That model will be ME ….TONIGHT! 

I can’t believe it’s happening tonight.  The only extra thing I’m doing to prepare my body on this short of notice is to deplete my water a bit.  Usually I drink over a gallon of water a day.  Today I’m just sipping water when I’m thirsty.  This way I’ll hopefully be as lean as possible.

They are providing me with some Lululemon clothes to wear, spray tanning and some makeup assistance.  Yahoo!!!

The pictures will be in October’s issue, so I won’t even have to wait long to see the article.  Yayy yay yaayyy!

This will be my first shoot that I’ll probably be in just a sports bra and tight spandex shorts or pants…so it’s making me nervous.  Hopefully all my hard work will pay off and i’ll look okay in the pics…considering they print 12,000 issues every month!!!! 

Annnndd….for the news that I was going to tell you earlier in the week….

As if I haven’t done enough photo shoots in the past week and a half…I got approached to do my first PAID modeling job 🙂  Does this mean I can call myself an official “working model” now since I’ll be paid?  haha..who would have ever thought?!?!?  I always had dreams I could say that one day but never thought someone would pay me to take a picture of me! 

This shoot is going to also be a fitness shoot with a commercial photographer who uses his images in a lot of major corporations in Indianapolis.  He has provided images to all the big dogs in this city so hopefully my photos will be used somewhere cool!! 

This shoot is providing the makeup, hair and wardrobe!  ahhhhhh! I’m so frickin’ excited.  That shoot is going to be SUPER early on Sunday morning 🙂

After Sunday, it will be my fourth shoot in just a week and a half.  Now that’s a LOT for never having done this two weeks ago!  It’s been so fun though and I can’t wait to share my pics and magazine spread with you guys!

I think I’ll have a good idea after Sunday if I like this whole modeling thing…At this point, I’m hoping I can keep doing more…..

Or…maybe not…ya never know 😉

To add on to my busy weekend, I’ll also be running in the Color Me Rad 5k on Saturday morning! 

Wow..I”m tired just reading about all this stuff. haha.

The one good thing about staying so busy is that it’s keeping my mind away from getting super nervous from my first regional bikini competition (which is in 16 days…ahhh).

Wow…so many things going on over here!!!  Let’s hope this shoot goes well tonight!  If my body doesn’t look good enough..I sure as hell hope they are good with Photoshop!  I kid…I kid!

  • #32. Watch 3 movies that my boyfriend wants to watch and I have no interest in  (3/3 completed!  My boyfriend wanted to watch a movie last night.  I told him it’s completley his choice and I would have no say in it.  To my surprise, he picked the movie, The 5 Year Engagement.  It was decent..nothing great though.
