Tomorrow - on Tuesday October 28, 2008 - World Champion female body builder Colette Nelson will be the guest on the Basham and Cornell Radio Show at 8 am Pacific Time on AM 1230 KLAV in Las Vegas.

Colette grew up in Royal Oak, Michigan, a small suburb outside of Detroit and attended Michigan State University (MSU), where she received a bachelor’s degree in Dietetics and a minor in Dance. In 2003, Colette moved from New York City to Long Island. She started dieting insatiably for the Team Universe. Then it was on to the North Americans in Cleveland, Ohio. She won the LHW class and the overall. Colette was overjoyed to win the GOLD for the USA. This was a once in a lifetime accomplishment.

Altho’ a registered Democrat, one of her recent gigs had her appearing in a video as a female version of the Incredible Hulk (green skin and all) as the angry, alter-ego to a girl called “McCain Girl”, who among other things, does battle with “Obama Girl.”

SOMETHING TO THIMK ABOUT - Oct. 26, 2008

Read Each One Carefully & Think About It a Second or Two

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, & the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand & touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can' t have them
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on someone, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting & just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person & know who you are before you try & know someone else & expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

What a LONG TIME since I last entered into my BLOG. I guess I let my crazy life take over and I forget to keep the world up to date with my life. In a brief summary I will recap since after my last BB show, May 2008.

After I competed in NY and placed a dissappointing 12th place, in my home town no less, I wanted to step back and REST. I have competed every year since I started competing back in 1999. I just think that I was getting worse. I lost the eye of the tiger to diet and compete. I just have so many other things in my life that I want to sink my teeth into. That is a fault of mine. My mother used to always say, and still says, WHY CAN'T you just settle for being REALLY REALLY good at ONE THING. No.. I want to do it all.
- Professional BB
- Web Designer
- Registered dietitian
- Certified Diabeted Educator
- Board Certified Sports Specialty Dietitian
- Choreographer
- Music / DJ
- Make-up
- Hair

And I want to get into making suits someday and most recently I am auditioning for " THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR". I made the 2nd call back and I am waiting to hear back if I make the semi finals.

This will largely impact if I am going to compete next year. I have to move into the city for 6 weeks in Jan - Feb and compete to be the next food network star. This is my dream.. to get my own show. And..if nothing more.. to gain exposure and hopefully inspire the executives that I could have a good show.

It is just a LIFE transition... I love the stage.. but, I also don't want to make my injuries worse.. I have such bad shoulders. I have to make a decision at some point to get surgery.. but, If I don't have that pressure of always trying to train heavy and FIGHT to maintain all the muscle I need to be even remotely competative... I migth be able to save my poor shoulders. We just have to see what happens next for me.

I love bodybuilding and performing... but, I just think that I stopped improving... and that is the hardest thing to deal with. The fun of bodybuilding is getting better every year... not getting worse.

So this past year I traveled to all the amateur national shows doing hair/make-up/and airbrush tanning. It was a great year.... I loved it. I am minimizing my schedule next year to include only certain shows and I am going to work on my next project... having my own cooking show.

I hope you all enjoyed my FLEX in the CITY and my McCain Girl " The HULK " Polically Incorrect Web Videos.

You never know what is next for me..........
