All the prepping, all the training and all the dieting reached its peak on Saturday at the NPC South Florida regionals.  The competition was very close with 1st, 2nd & 3rd place being within 3 points of each other.  I’m proud to say that the hard work paid off and I walked away with a 3rd place trophy, qualifying me to compete at the Southern States in July ‘07.

I want to thank those of you that actually came out and cheered for me! It made all the difference!

Here are the pictures.  Enjoy, and look for me at the Southern States in July at the War Memorial Auditorium.

Round 1 - Quarter Turns

Round 2 - Quarter Turns

This is my first show.  I am 10days out and the reality is starting to sink in.  I’m gonna be on stage with guys who have tried as hard as me to look thier best.  I psyched myself into really thinking I had a good chance, but doubt is starting to cloud over me.  I don’t know if its the diet, or the lack of energy but I feel like I’m not ready.

I met one of the other athletes that will be competing against me and to be honest, he was shredded…  I’ve come down from 195lbs to 175lbs and even though I look lean, I don’t think I look competition lean.

Maybe my rants are from lack of carbs or spent frustration infront of the mirror posing… or even worse from self induced stress… anyhow, thanks for taking the time to care.
