Happy January 26!

I just finished cooking some porridge for my doggies. I’m on day 7 of my January 2012 detox. I’m eating very clean…no cheese, no alcohol (wine!), no fish, (never eat meat anyway) as I’m vegetarian, but not vegan. I have not given up my morning latte yet, but I have 2 more weeks to go and I’ll cut out the latte for 1 of those weeks! God knows how much I love my shot of espresso in the morning with a cup of hot whole milk in it! None of that non fat or 2 % crap for me. I don’t believe in it. In fact, during the process of taking the fat out, the sugar content goes up in the product. Sugar is not one’s friend…but then again, I’m making excuses for myself because I haven’t been able to give up my morning “grande latte with wholemilk” yet! I’m weak! But I did it in October for a week and I’ll do it during this detox for a week…probably my last week of the detox. I’m feeling good, although had to take a little more time off training due to a small problem caused by the surgery I had in October..(more about this in the member’s diary)…yes, I saw the Doc on Friday so I have about 3 more weeks to recover (or slightly more…) BORING!!!!!

So……my last evening in Oakland (last Tuesday), I get a text message from my friend, Jeff (my cameraman) telling me they’ve found a severed head under the Hollywood Sign, near one of the trails where I hike. I jumped on the news and got the story and yes, Jeff was right. I’ve hiked and ran all of these trails for many years and I know them like the back of my hand. All I could think was “Thank God I wasn’t on the trail today!” I could imagine what the dogwalkers who discovered the head felt like….I would have freaked out! Scary stuff! I don’t know what would obsess someone to kill a person and mutilate them. Just really creepy stuff that goes on in some people’s minds, I guess. Anyway….what a story to greet you when you are headed back home! Sheesh! I really hope they find the killer…sicko!

I had a GREAT time in San Francisco, earlier this month, at the Yoga Convention! I studied with Dharma Mittra, Baron Baptiste, Richard Swenson, Rodney Yee and his wife, Colleen Saidman Yee, Seane Corn and Tias Little oh and I did an ayurvedic all day intensive with Dr.Scott Blossom. I learned a lot. It was 4 days of information and practice and at the end of each day, I climbed the steep hill (California Street) from Embarcadero back to my room at the top of Nob Hill, sat quietly for a bit and felt a bit overwhelmed with questions about life. A bit of depression overcame me at times. But then again, I suffer with depression in the winter months and I’ve had a lot of stress in my life lately that I’ll write more about in the Member’s Only Diary, so saying that, the tiny bit of darkness that overcame me so far this winter is nothing compared with what I used to go through….Yoga Practice has been my saving grace. Not just the physical but the entire practice of yoga.

I have to say how much I really love the Bay Area. It’s so beautiful and the people are pretty down to earth, the food is exceptional and the wines are very good. I love Oakland. I always have a very good time when I’m there. It’s got a bad rap really. There are some really good wine bars and restaurants there, beautiful hills, a great little lake to walk around with tons of people walking their dogs or running. If fact from where my sister lives, you can walk everywhere you would need to go. You can jump on the BART and get to San Francisco in 10 – 15 minutes. Couldn’t ask for much more than that….I had 10 days up there and a week around New Year’s. It feels like my 2nd home…and well, yes, Paris, too. I have missed Paris. It’s been awhile but I’ll be heading back in late April…I’m gearing up to watch Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” this week.

Speaking of France! I had a lovely email from Amrita (Mistress Amrita) today. She is now living in France and she is very happy. Amrita is such a wonderful person. She and I have great laughs together and we both love to try new restaurants and great chefs…One trip that we were on together, we had 3 dozen oysters in one day EACH! We were giggling like school girls because the oysters were so darn good…Did I ever write about the trip we took together to South Africa? Yes! Amrita and I went on a safari together. It was awesome! We were so into it!!! One of the most memorable experiences of my life. I just love Amrita. I’d just love to go back to South Africa again sometime….some time…time….there’s not enough of it…

Speaking of time…it’s tax time. I sit in horror as I look at my box of receipts from last year…I’m going to organize these receipts in the next couple of days and get my taxes done early….get them out of the way so I have TIME for the other projects I’ve promised myself to work on this year.

I’ve got projects and travel outlined all the way to September this year. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have time for your CUSTOM VIDEOS and PHOTOS and CLIPS! I do and I’m looking forward to producing more custom videos this year! I’m one of the top producers in the business so send me your custom ideas now!!! Email me at fightbabe@gmail.com

I was in touch with Tommi, a new wrestler and professional MMA fighter, today and it looks like the next Competitive Tournament will be in late March. I’ve got Tommi, Bettie, Ariel and hopefully a couple more girls in mind for the tourney. If I can get some training in, I’ll do a match…Gotta train hard and decide who I’ll go up against. I’ve been working on taking off body fat (very successful at that!) and putting on muscle…Well I’ve got some abs now and my shoulders and arms and back are looking good but packing on muscle is not that easly. I’m at 115. No more fatty gut like I had last year and the year before in a few fats. Wow! I can’t even look at videos with that gooey belly! Yikes!

If you want more information on this tournament, email me….

I’m sorry but I didn’t get a Wrestler of the Month for January done because of so much time away but I’ll be doing a video interview with next month’s (February)Wrestler of the Month next week so that should give you something to look forward to…

I was going to bring up politics and President Obama’s State of the Union Address last night…but I think it’s best to keep my political opinions to myself. I will say that I’m watching all the debates even though sometimes they make me want to be sick! I do kind of like on of the candidates because he is the only one who seems to really be a straight shooter….but as I said, I’ll keep my mouth shut on politics for now.

Let’s talk about sex….OH NO, that’s Ariel’s job! God I love Ariel! She can just go on and on about sex so casually….hahaha!

We shot a great video together. It was a custom video that will be released on the site soon. Grappling in Judo Gis, Bicep Wars and Armpit Worship! I think the camera man seemed to be enjoying our antics a little too much! Hope you will too!

Ok, gotta to get to my Member’s Diary…Thank you for tuning in and visiting my website and my diary.

Peace and Love,
