WEEKLY UPDATE!!!

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you all had a great week. I can't believe it's Friday already.........the week seemed to just fly by!

Well, first of all, I would like to congratulate TEAMOBRIEN athletes for a job well done at the Canadian Natural World Qualifier that took place last weekend in Saskatchewan.
Congratulations to Stacey-Lynn Mlinarevic who placed 2nd overall in the medium figure class. What an amazing year she's had........she's only going to keep improving!! Watch out!! Congratulations to Marita Krumme who placed 5th overall in the fitness short class. Marita finally pulled her routine together a day before the show............no more procrastinating Marita!!!!
Congratulations to my SPORTLAB Teammates: Christy Wolfe who took 1st place in the figure medium class, and Chantal Dicaire who placed 1st overall in fitness. Way to go!!
Also a big congratulations to Kim Tilden (she's on a roll!!)won the figure tall class, Marnie Holley who placed 3rd overall in fitness and Liz Potruff who won the Women's Bodybuilding:Masters and the Overall. There are some incredible athletes coming out of Ontario!!! Way to go!!

Well, things have been kind of crazy around here. Dennis and I have decided it's time for us to move out of our apartment and find somewhere else to live. When we were away on holidays, the building maintenance staff decided to come in and finally fix the ceiling and walls from the water damage....talk about laziness...instead of removing the damage and mold from the ceiling and behind the walls, they decided to just go ahead and patch up the holes and leave the mold behind....Well, we weren't impressed and decided it's time to move to a "NEW" home without having to deal with health issues. We are a little stressed at the moment because we haven't found a "New" home to live in yet. Oh well........we've been looking and looking but really haven't found anything that we like. I'm sure we'll find something sooner or later. Wish me luck!!!

I am 9 weeks out from the Europa Super show. My diet is now very strict, my training is more intense and I have just started working on some skills for my routine. I am looking forward to compete again!!! Dennis and I have been video taping a lot of my weight training sessions and will continue to tape on a regular basis right up to the show. Keep checking back for new video footage!!

I want to thank all of my friends, family and fans for sending me your positive and inspirational emails. I really appreciate them....it helps keep me focused and makes me realize that I am not just doing this for myself, but for all of you.

Thanks so much for your support.

Love Mindi O
