HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hello Everyone!

Just a quickie note to wish everyone a very happy and healthy holiday. I am getting ready to head to the airport to visit my family in Nantucket, MA. I am so excited - I only am able to make it home once a year, and it is always so nice to see my family! Christmas is a very big deal in my fam, and no one has missed a Christmas morning at my Grandparent's house - EVER! We would be disowned if we did! :-)

I hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy their family and loved ones, and that Santa is good to You!!!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy T-DAy and a safe weekend traveling. I'm hoping that everyone 'eats up" regardless of what type of diet they are on.... this day only comes once a year, so LIVE IT UP!! FORGET about the scale and the calories, and enjoy yourself with your family and loved ones. BUT, the treadmill WILL be waiting for ya tomorrow, so pencil it in!!!

Have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!!

MEMBER'S SECTION NOW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Wanted to pop in and let you know that my member's section is FINALLY up! It already has tons of smokin' photos, and is going to include recipes, a Q&A area, and a vehicle to directly communicate with me. It's also the only way that you can ensure that you will get a response to an e-mail, because I answer ALL of my member's e-mails... I can't always get to the e-mails that are sent through the main site. It is definitely worth the 13 bucks.... Check it out!!

Aside from that, I am doing very well, and am THOROUGHLY enjoying a break from the rigors of contest dieting and training! I still train hard and intensely, but am not forced to do as much crazy cardio as when I'm prepping. I also am still eating well, but am indulging every once in a while (a girl's gotta!!) I plan on sitting the Arnold out (but will be there at the expo working....) I am going to start up again in the summer at the NY Pro Figure Championships, and am already thinking about my game plan. I PLAN on qualifying for the Olympia again, and MAKING TOP 5 THIS TIME!!!!!

until next time.... STAY HEALTHY and BE SMART!!!

Off to the OLYMPIA!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!
I leave for Vegas in a matter of hours, and I know that I won't sleep tonight... way too excited for the weekend! It is going to be a blast... to compete on the Olympia stage has been a dream of mine ever since I started competing, and that day is 2 1/2 days away. UNbelievable!

I am hoping that I will get the opportunity to meet everyone that is going. Please stop by the Europa booth on Saturday and introduce yourselves. I really would love to say hello!

Until then, wish me luck! A dream is about to come true!!!!

New Site's Up!!! EDGE9 DESIGN ROCKS!!!

It's up, it's up!!! I am SO HAPPY WITH IT!! Edge9 Designs out of the UK (www.edge9.com) kicked royal tail with the layout and construction. They were also so great to work with. They did everything that I requested to a "T" and then some. And FAST!!! I have nothing but sincere thanks and appreciation for their job well done. If anyone is in need of a fitness, figure or bodybuilding web site (or ANY site for that matter...) they are the company to go with... this is their specialty, and it shows!

The member's section is still a bit up in the air, as it is being done through another person... BUT it will be up at some point. For now, just gonna have to deal with FREE stuff - oh darn ;-)

Hope to see you in Vegas! Don't forget, I'll be at the EUROPA booth on Saturday.... COME SAY HI!!!

WHERE I'LL BE AT THE OLYMPIA EXPO

Until further notice....I WILL BE AT THE EUROPA BOOTH ON SATURDAY>>>>>>>>

PLEASE stop by and say hi! I'll be selling 8x10's and answering questions, and just hangin' out! COME KEEP ME COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This location may change, but as of right now, this is where I'll be. Check back right before the weekend of the show to confirm!

See you in Vegas Baby!

Just checkin' in and saying HI! OLYMPIA UPDATE

Hola Everyone!

Just thought I'd check in with you and let you know how I'm doin'. I am about 2 weeks out from the Olympia right now, and am TIRED! All I want to do is cry, sleep and eat (don't know which one I want more or first...) the end is almost here, and I will be getting a MUCH needed break after this. I am due for some serious relaxation and yummy eating!

On a positive note, I want to say that regardless of how yucky I feel, I am incredibly excited to be going to "the big show"! I feel like I am going to be more than ready, and my body will be lookin' great! This is going to be such a fun weekend, I am sure. There is going to be so much going on with the shows, expo, seminars, and parties, it's going to be a BLAST! I hope that a lot of you will be able to make it to Sin City to watch the show. I'm not sure which expo booth I'll be working with yet, but will post that info when I get it. I would really love to meet you, so if you will be there PLEASE check back and see where I'll be so you can find me and say hello!

The new site should be up soon too (I know I keep saying that, but I mean it this time!) It is being designed by Edge9 Design out of Manchester UK (www.edge9.com) Their work is great, and I am confident that the site will ROCK. It is going to have an entirely new look and feel, with a new member's area, and updated photos and material, so definitely check it out. Please ;-)

That's all I can think of right now. I hope everyone is well, and I look forward to meeting you in Vegas!

2nd Again!!! North American Figure Pro Update

Well, I just got back from Cleveland about an hour ago, and wanted to post the results of the show. I placed 2nd (again) out of 13 ladies. Jane Awad beat me by 1 point... SO CLOSE - and yet so far... Jane looked awesome, and I'll be seeing her again at the Olympia - watch out girl, I'm comin' to gitcha!! The last qualifying spot went to Melissa Frabbiele, who also looked great (she always looks great though!) This woman has done more pro shows than anyone I can think of! She rocks!

OK, here are the top 8:

8. Marcy Porter
7. Tammy Pies
6. Starling Steele
5. Valerie Waugman
4. Chaundra Coffey
3. Melissa Frabbrielle *
2. Jennifer Searles *
1. Jane Awad *
* Qualify for the Olympia
From nutritionalunderground.com

Congrats to all the ladies!!

GOIN TO THE O!!!

I made it!! I placed 2nd at the NY Pro Figure Championships out of a competitive field of 23 beautiful pros a few weeks ago, and qualified for the Olympia!! HOW COOL IS THAT! Another dream come true for me! I have already reached my goal for this year as a rookie pro. I told myself that I am going to shoot for qualifying for the O this year, and try my best. Well folks, I did it!

I am currently prepping for the North American Pro Figure Championships being held in Cleveland on Sept. 2nd and 3rd (next weekend... ) This should be a fun show, as there is also a National NPC Figure event where the top 2 overall winners get their pro cards. PLUS female and male bodybuilding have a National NPC event as well. SO exciting!

Edge9 is also in the process of redesigning my site (I've seen sneak peeks, and it looks AWESOME) You can check out their website www.edge9.com to see some samples of their work. My new site should be up soon, they are just waiting on ME to send them more pictures... I'm holdin' them up... after my show next weekend, I'll be more on the ball, and things will start moving faster... ALSO, the new member's section at alluringfitness.com should be running in a few weeks. They are ALSO waiting for more pics..... I am holdin' EVERYONE up!! I swear, as soon as I have my brain back, I will get things done ;-)

That's it for now.... STAY TUNED!!

Muscle & Fitness Poll - VOTE FOR ME!!!

Hey All,

I was chosen to be one of the 10 finalists in Muscle & Fitness Magazine's online poll "Poll Positions". They are asking their readers who they would most like to see featured in a "nightclub dancer" (read: stripper) themed pictorial (no nudity of course... sorry! ;-) I am very excited and need your support! If you log onto www.muscleandfitness.com and click on the girl in the cage, the poll will pop up, and you can vote for me. I am at the bottom of the page. You can vote once per day, so make the time folks - I am up against some amazing women, and need all the help I can get!

Site is still being redesigned and should be done in a few weeks. As of right now, I am focused on the NY Pro Figure Championships being held in conjunction with Team U and NPC Figure Nationals on Aug 5th and 6th. If you are in the area, I'd love to have your support at prejudging which is Friday Aug. 5th at 6:30pm at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center - 199 Chambers St. (corner of West and Chambers) Tix are $15 at the door. If you go, be sure to SCREAM LOUDLY for me! Gotta influence the panel ya' know! Finals are held at the same place on Sat Aug. 6th at 7:00pm and is $35-45 at the door. I'd really love to see you there! I am really hoping to snag an Olympia qualification so keep your fingers and toes crossed... I think I have a chance - I've definitely done my homework and am ready to GO!!!

T'sall for now - STAY HEALTHY!

Changes to the site

Hi All,

I know that some of you are thinking that I have just completely forgotten about this site, and have been a "bad mother" to it as of late, with the lack of updates, maintanance, etc. Truth is, you are right! I need to redesign this site so that it is more pleasing to you all huh! With this, I have decided to make it a little simpler, and do away with my member's section. BUT! Never fear for my loyal members... I recently entered into a relationship with alluringfitness.com, and will be starting a members section over there. It will probably be up and running in about a month or so. In the meatime, I am working to redesign my own pages, and make them better and more inviting for you all. My member's section will be active until alluringfitness puts theirs up. After it's launched over there, my entire site will have free access. Not such a bad thing, huh! See, I try to take care of y'all!

As for news, I also just signed with FMG (Fitness Management Group) and am very excited. They represent the likes of figure star Zena Collins and fitness star Kim Klein. I am proud to be a part of their roster, and am honored they chose to manage my figure career. Look for big things on the horizon folks!

Take Care Everyone!

Jr. Nationals...

I just wanted to wish all that are competing in Chicago this weekend the BEST of luck! This is an awesome show (my fave National level NPC) and I'll be there to cheer everyone on! If you're gonna be there, look for me during the figure pre-judgings on Friday night and Saturday morning. If you see me please come and say hello! There are 4 new Figure Pros being born this weekend... GO GET 'EM KIDS!!!!!

Hungry

Ok, so it has begun. Every season, whenever I start getting super-lean, I fall into this habit of reading menus... I go online to this great website called menupages.com. It lists the menus of practically every restaurant in NYC. Sounds crazy right? This actually helps me through the diet in a weird way... when I can't sleep at night (because I'm so damn hungry) I log on and read away. I know, I'm a little strange... just thought I'd share :-)

Oh, it's also my birthday today... yay. No cake. Great.

June Cover Girl

Hey Kids... Just a quick post to let you know that I am the www.imagesofvenus.com June cover girl! Gene Carangal and I got together in Padres Island a few weeks ago and had a really great shoot. Some of the pics have already been put onto his site, and are definitely worth checking out! If you like them, send him an e-mail to request more... this will get the rest up faster ;-)

ENJOY!

UPDATES ARE ON THEIR WAY!!!!

Just wanted to start by saying that I have a HUGE update on its way... I am adding an amazing Brian Moss gallery with 30 pictures this week. All I'm gonna say is that it tells a little bit of a story if you follow each picture from start to finish. I start with all and end up with very little (wink wink!) CHECK IT OUT - and thank you SO much for being patient. If you have read my blog, you will know that I had a pretty tough time prepping for my show last weekend, and was completely strapped for time - which meant no updates - which meant unhappy members - which means unhappy Jennifer.... So again, I AM SO VERY SORRY!! My webmaster has the update, she just needs to post it. She also is prepping for her pro debut (Colette Nelson - IFBB Pro BB competing in the NY Pro BB Championships), so it may take a few days for her to get it up, so bear with me for just a little while longer...

SO - my show last weekend, the Pittsburgh Pro... Not my best show :-( I went into it very behind in my training and was not quite as lean as I needed to be. I knew this going in though, so I wasn't surprised by my placing (16th out of 28). Could've been worse, but also could've been MUCH better. I have vowed to NEVER let this happen again. I am too competitive to not be one of the best up there! So now I am getting ready for my next one, the NY Pro Figure Championships. It's being held in NYC at the Tribeca performing Arts Center on August 6th. If you are around, you ought to look into going. It is also the NPC National Figure Championships as well as the Team Universe Fitness and Bodybuilding Championships. It is a HUGE show, and is always full of the industry's biggest names.

That's it for now. I look forward to any feedback anyone has for me, so shoot me an e-mail if you have anything to say - I look forward to hearing from you!

Take Care,

MY PRO DEBUT!! Sorry about lack of updates...

Hi All,

I just wanted to quickly let you all know that I have been working my butt off (literally) in preparing for the Pittsburgh Pro this weekend. I am getting ready to fly out right now! I am VERY excited, and feel great!

I am shooting with the infamous JM tomorrow afternoon, so check back in a few weeks to see those shots.

Most importantly, I wanted to apologize for the lack of updates over the past couple weeks (especially my dear MEMBERS!) I have really been working very hard for this show, and have been extremely busy... I haven't forgotten, and will be back on Monday of next week, diligently updating away!

Take Care and WISH ME LUCK FOLKS!!!

I am the Cardio Queen!

I have not posted in a while, because I haven't been able to get off the stairmaster...I fell a bit behind in my preparations for this season, and am now doing 3, yes folks 3 HOURS of cardio a day. I am just a bit sick of sweating. I love to train and all, but it's getting to the point where my legs don't feel like they're mine anymore. I have become a slave to the fatburning zone, and can't escape :-0 I AM catching up though, and hopefully I can end this crazyness in another week or so, when I'm on track. I am going to MAKE SURE that I get on that stage in awesome shape!

I just got back from Padre Island last weekend. I had a shoot with Imagesofvenus.com photographer Gene Carangal, and it was GREAT! I am sure the pics will be beautiful, and will post a few when I get them. I will be sure to add some galleries from the shoot to the member's section as well.

Well, thassit for now. I must go, as I have to log my second hour on the stairmeister...

Talk to you all soon!!!

Back to Reality and... drumroll please.... MY MEMBER'S SECTION IS NOW UP!!!

Well, the Arnold was a BLAST!!! Thanks to all of you that made your way to the Prolab booth to say hello - it was an absolute pleasure to meet you!

So... now it's back to reality. Time to start training and dieting like a crazy lady! I'm now 8 weeks out from my very first ever pro show, the Pittsburgh Pro on May 6th. It was a huge motivation to see all the tanned and crazily fit and beautiful women that are my competition on that Arnold stage. What a wakeup call! I mean, I've been working hard, but to see what I'm up against in person last weekend was enough to make me want to live on a treadmill, and buy stock in chicken, broccoli and yams...

Ok, what's new... I JUST LAUNCHED MY MEMBER'S SECTION!!!! I am so excited! You must check it out, as I am having so much fun with it! It's packed with cool stuff, and is only gonna keep getting better. As of right now, I have included weekly nutrition and diet tips, awewsome recipes, and exercises to keep everyone motivated and gorgeous. I also will be adding new galleries every month of never-before-seen photos from various shoots. Up right now are galleries from my last shoot in Chicago with Playboy's Rudi Ayassi. This shoot was awesome, and the pics are pretty smokin'! But, you have to join to see 'em!

That's it for now. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Goin' to Columbus!!!

I can't wait for the Arnold!! It's only a few short days away, and I am excited! I have a few photoshoots set up while I'm out there, and am so anxious to see all of my friends that I only get to see at these big shows (plus make a few new ones...) I will be at the PROLAB BOOTH, so please come by and say hello. I'll be giving away free stuff, and will be selling brand new, never before seen autographed 8x10 glossies, so come and get 'em!

I also am going to be launching my MEMBER'S SECTION in about 1 week. It's been long overdue, and it's finally happening. It will have smokin' galleries updated every 2 weeks, workout and diet tips, and healthy recipes for you to try. I also will eventually be doing a chat. IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Colette Nelson, my webmaster, promises me it is going to be AWESOME, so be sure to check back for it and join! You get a free autographed pic for signing up too.

Lastly, I'm getting ready for my pro debut, the Pittsburgh Pro on May 6th. I have been working so hard, and truly hope to make this first show a fun, and successful one! In other words I WANNA KICK SOME A$$!!! It is goin' to be an amazing season!

Take Care Everyone, and SEE YOU IN COLUMBUS!!!!!

APPEARANCE UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

There's a slight change in my appearance schedule... I will not be making the 1/31 appearance at Westerly's as I am ill :-( I apologize to all. I also apologize to anyone who came to Eva's on 1/28, as I had a last minute call to be out of town for a photoshoot. I don't forsee any problems with having to cancel any other events listed, so if you're around, please come by and chat!

Again, my apologies, and I look forward to meeting you!

I'm sorry I've been away!

HI EVERYBODY!!!

I am sorry about the lack of updating lately... I recently moved into a new home, and don't have my internet hook up ready for my computer yet. Without this, it's a bit difficult to communicate with my webmaster... I PROMISE that in another couple of weeks, everything will be up and running, and the site will be fully updated with new content and pics. I also plan on launching my member's section next month, so please keep checking for that!

Also, please check out my appearances page in another week or so for my January and February appearance dates, and '05 competition schedule. If you are in the NYC area, there will be TONS of chances to talk to me in person at one of the many events I'll be attending. I love to meet new people and love to answer your most pressing fitness and diet questions so that you can really maximize your personal fitness. Please stop by one of the venues and say hello!!

Thanks for your patience everyone, and TAKE CARE!
