I'm In Bodaus Magazine!

I've been published in one of Finland only two bodybuilding publications! The name of the magazine is "Bodaus" (bodaus means body in English) and it's issue #4/2005. You can find me on pages Page 12, 13, & 14. The whole write up is in Finnish (Finland's language) so I can't read any of it but, it's still fun to be in a foreign magazine! I'll scan in a copy of the cover of the magazine and all the pages that I'm on when I get a chance so check back!

Animals won't eat junk food but, we do?

Now this should tell us something! Just about every day I go out to the pond to feed the ducks bread but, this morning I went out with a dozen donuts that I had left over from after my show. Well, normally when I throw bread in the water the ducks come running across the water from across the pond but, when I through the donuts in the water the ducks didn't come running. Now how in the world did the ducks know that the donuts were crap food from across the pond? They were about 20 feet from where I was throwing the donuts in the water. Donuts are fried and covered in sugar glaze or powered with sugar. hehehehe! Fat and sugary simple carbs just don't go together!!!!!! Oh, any way back to what I was saying... I went back in the house and got a loaf of bread, when back outside and AS SOON AS I throw it into the water the ducks came running across the water so fast that you could see their feet coming out from under them!!! It was the funniest thing!! They were running on top of the water just about!! How did they know that that was good food and the other stuff was sh*it?

Why fry?

O.K. guys... who got the bright idea to make a funnel cake?? I mean whhhhhhhhhhyyyy??? What would make a person want to fry a sugar batter? I don't even think they taste that good.. Yuck! Just think of all that oil it's soaking in!!! Same goes for donuts... lol! Can't they bake them? Why do they have to be fried? :o) I still eat donuts though, just not very often. Did you know cake frosting is made of lard, sugar, and coloring! Oh, and who got the bright idea to make mayonnaise! YUCK! That's an egg and a jar of oil!!! You'll NEVER catch me eating that on my food! Any waaaaaaay.... One more thing I just don't get... what's up with all the sugar in drinks today? I mean if you pick up a can of Coke or a bottle of Power Aid you'll see that it has any where from 30 - 60g of sugar!!! That's NUTS! I'd much rather eat that much sugar in a piece of pie, some ice cream, or a candy bar! Wouldn't you? Now on a different note.. who was the first person who got the idea in his/her head to eat a crawfish? What I mean is who was the first person to see this bug looking thing crawling on the grown and thought, I want to eat that! If you think about it that way it is kind of weird but I LOVE boiled crawfish!!! Hey, I am from New Orleans! :O) I guess I'm just taking up space in my blog so I guess I'll get off the subject. :O)

Helped raise $5,000 for the Tsunami Fund

Pics from my poster photo shoot

I did a photo shoot Friday July 1st at the gym that I train at here in New Orleans. I'm planning on using pictures from this shoot to make posters to post for sale on my site. Here is a sample of what is to come!

These pictures were taken during the gyms business hours so we had to work around people working out in the background but that was ok. It gave us a chance to take a break here and there and we weren't in a hurry any how. You should have see the audience I had! :o)

FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

Someone stole my pictures from my FTwebcam picture archive and posted them on MySpace.com and he saying that HE IS ME!!!
CLICK HERE for the FAKE page

I have NO idea why a man would use my pictures to say that he is me. Is he some kind of weird cross dresser that wants to me a female?? I just don't get it!! He even went to far as to make up a WHOLE different profile for me and even made stuff up about me like... my favorite sport is basket ball! I don't like basket ball! He even bushered my profile so it looks like I don't even know how to write so I'm thinking maybe this person is not from the U.S.A. Maybe he's foreign or somthing.

Oh, he did email me back telling me that he was not going to delete the fake group!

My REAL MySpace.com groups is here if you want to join it http://www.myspace.com/melissadettwiller

OMG! My Pug Chewed Up $1,000 Of MY MONEY!!!!!

OMG!!! I put $1,000 cash on my coffee table and my pug got it!!!! I have no idea why but she chewed it up!!! It was all 100 dollar bills. My husband and I were on our hands and knees on the floor picking up the pieces! We were finding them under the couch, coffee table, etc... We pretty much got them all but she must have LITERALLY ATE one of the bills as it chewed it and swallowed it! Well, not the whole thing but enough of it that she got both serial numbers so I couldn't get credit for it at the bank! We taped what we could together which was 9 of the 100 dollar bills. The bank did give us credit for the 9 hundreds but told us no for the last bill. Danny was REALLY mad about the lost hundred but I like to look at the up side of things.. I was glad that I saved 9 of them. His point was that it should have never happened. Yea, so I'm out of a hundred dollars! Well, there are worst things in life that can happen! Oh, now back to why I left $1,000 just sitting on the coffee table.. well, that was because I was about to leave the house to make a deposit and my dog has never chewed up money before. I really haven't have a problem with my pug chewing stuff so I have no idea why she would have done that and I NEVER expected that she would have chewed my money. So I guess the moral of the story is "Don't leave your money out for your pug to eat!"..

I Want Some Godiva Chocolates :o(

I'm so sick of dieting for my shows and I want some chocolate candy so bad!!!!! :o( I want a BIG box of Godiva Chocolates hehehehe! lol! Oh, well! Guess I'll look better for not eating Godiva Chocolates and I'll get more photo shoots for it. Can't win shows eating chocolates. I'm about to leave to go to the movies and I can't have anything at the concession stand except bottled water or a pickle!
