On Nov 8th in New York City the Worlds championships were held with INBF & WNBF athletes from all over the world.  This was my first trip to NY and it won’t be my last!!!  The city is crazy and fun and totally awesome!

I met so many new people and now friends from all over the world.  It was an amazing experience!  I could not believe the high caliper of athletes there and in top condition.  I had tons of butterflys dancing in my belly!   To my delight I placed 5th in the pro-womens bodybuilding light wt class (yay top 5 in the world)!!! 

Then for the heck of it and to do something new I entered the amature INBF Ms. Fit Body (big overseas bb posing in heels)– as I was lining up to go on stage– all the girls were 1/2 my age with tight young bodies— I just thought OMG I’m gonna get my bootie kicked.  But I’m gonna have fun doing it and give it my best— no one will ever say I didn’t get out there and try.  Well to my surprise I placed 2nd!!! and I did not fall off those heels hahahaha.

Everyone back stage were visiting taking photos, lots of laughter & hugs.  It was crowded but we all managed to share the space and get pumped up.  The show ran smoothly, I can’t say enough good about the promoters and the organization.  We were all treated like VIP’s.   Then it was time to celebrate with friends and enjoy the city.  We stayed a couple days and went on a tour by one the the athletes who is from there.  My legs still hurt from all the walking and my belly from all the food.  Now it’s time to regroup and get my game plan ready for this coming year.  I’m not ready to retire yet!!!!!!   I’ll post some photos soon.

Having my husband there to share everything which was priceless.  I couldn’t have done it without him– he kept me grounded and got me to where I needed to be— not just physically but mentally as well.  I was in my best condition to date.  Ripped and only 6% bodyfat, fully hydrated and fed with muscles full and body vascular.  Peak week was a charm even after a long flight.  It’s amazing how at 51 I am still making positive gains and improving.  Totally love it!
