Well I am finally done with show #2 and I am pooped!!!! We had a great time this weekend. Let's just say that I didn't do so well in Charleston. There were 6 girls in my class and I placed 6th! WOOHOO! No, really, I knew when I got there and seen the other girls that I might not do so well. The show in Birmingham was a natural show, meaning no steriods. The Charleston show didn't drug test, meaning it was not a natural show and you could tell by looking at some of the girls! For the most part, these girls were pretty big muscularly and I just haven't got that much muscle yet. However, my gym partners and myself agreed that if we came in last at every show due to not enough muscle, that would be fine with us...we want to keep our femine features!!!LOL!!! Nonetheless, we had fun and really enjoyed ourselves!
First, here are some pictures we took this past Sunday at the lake. My mom has been watching Kaley while I have been doing the shows on the weekends. We got home early Sunday morning and decided to take Kaley and her cousins boating!
This is Kaley and her cousin, Carson at the Disney store in the mall! This is what they wore the entire shopping trip!
This is me, Coach Bailey, Jen Hendershott, Brittney and Carmen. I train and compete with Britt and Carmen. Jen Hendershott is the one who organized and put on this particular competition. She is a two time gold medalist and the recent winner of the Arnold Classic Figure Fitness and Bodybuilding. I was looking forward to getting a picture with her....however, she looked nothing like I thought she would. I guess I was expecting to see her the way she looks in magazines, etc. Of course, thats when shes in hardcore dieting and competition mode and at her best. She is obviously in her off season right now. She will tell ya that right now shes enjoying pizza, burgers and BEER!

Carmen and I in the dressing rooms. Carmen did bikini instead of figure this time and won 1st place!!!
I have TRULY enjoyed the last 15 weeks. I have met some GREAT people, put myself to the ultimate test of dieting and training. I plan to take some time off and start back again in January. I will start training again for the April show. I have to say that for the last 2 weeks, I have prayed that God would allow me to not worry about things that are out of my control, relax and enjoy this moment in my life and He did! I cannot explain how much fun I had and how confident I felt, even with getting last in Charleston.
