It's done! Registration is in the mail and there's no turning back now! I am absolutely STOKED for this competition! I got up early this morning and went to stick it in the mailbox! I'm almost down to week out! Shit's gettin' so real!
After my glorious photoshoot at the mailbox today, I decided to go on a long run. The weather was beautiful, and got even hotter as I got further into my mileage. I ran a little over 7 this morning. Nothing beats a good run...seriously.
In other news, I am so excited to share with you all that I got a message back from the winner of the figure category in 2009 at the same show I'm doing. It was a whim of mine to find her on Facebook and send her a message. She just found my message (since FB puts things in the "other" folder now), and replied back to me with so much advice! I felt honored to receive a message from her. She's actually going to be at my show for the award ceremony and wants to meet up! She's the tall girl in the middle. Her name is Jenelle. She told me that the best piece of advice she was given when she competed was to fake confidence. After thinking about it, she's definitely right. You don't want to walk on stage looking like a deer in headlights. She also told me to start practicing holding my poses and increase the hold time minute by minute, because a lot of girls don't practice this and they end up shaking on stage when you're supposed to look flexed, but natural--not like you're clenching.
Oh, and my bicep is so much better with taking a day off! I'm happy I did it. It's back to the grind though!
Now, I'm off to bake things I cannot eat for a great party I'm attending...Happy 4th of July everyone!!
