unsuspected obstacles

Posted by Julia on December 28th 2009

I know its been awhile since I’ve been able to blog about my great racing success, but it seems these times are meant to challenge me a bit. I added a picture of me and trainer Bob from when I was helping out with The Biggest Loser because it represents a few key themes in life; perseverance and goal setting. I always look to learn things from my sport that can transfer into everyone’s life, competition or not. In my case I had a dream to win a gold medal, and I achieved it! For the contestants on The Biggest Loser, they push themselves to lose weight, and they really do go for it! In anything you do in life there are struggles, for me right now, its finding that Podium again. I believe I can do it! And as tough as it is to get up the next day and battle it out after things go bad, I believe that the more I keep fighting, it will click. Its all about keep on keeping on. So I encourage everyone to go for that Podium with me! Stay cool, stay positive, and be tough!

Xoxo Jules

Christmas Time!

Posted by Julia on December 24th 2009

Mom and I in NYCChristmas time is here! I had a wonderful time seeing my Mom in NYC.  It was only for a flash, but I gChem's and I with our new hair! ot some great presents!  I was there filming for an ad for 24hour fitness so look for that one soon!

Then off to London! It was so nice to spend the holiday with Chemmy and her family.  We got our hair done, thanks to Chemmy’s friend Herman. She told me it looks better than ever!  I like it a lot, but its tough to be as fashion savvy as Chemmy.

It was a great day, after the hair dresser we went to an old estate to have afternoon tea!  My favorite thing to do in England!  We also went to a farmers market!!! We picked up a 13 kilo Turkey for dinner!  That is a big bird:)

christmas dinner

Doesn’t the table look gorgeous!  Half the Turkey carved up, and we had some secret Santa presents!  I was spoiled with some great gifts!

Christmas Presents! but the present of the night goes to Chemmy’s roommate Tom!Best Secret Santa gift!

I am off to Salzburg tomorrow and back into the snow!  Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!  xoxo Julia
