Wow!  What a great show!  The Pariso’s outdid themselves again this year with a FANTASTIC show!  I had a GREAT time with all the girls backstage and it was a ton of fun to see everyone again!  Bodybuilding.com had a HUGE booth that was always packed and was AWESOME!!

I was thrilled to have made my highest physique score as an IFBB pro!!  After the two physique rounds I was in 12th out of 26 girls.  This may not sound so exciting at first, but you have to remember…the Pro Stage is filled with the best bodies in the world!  I was only 2 spots away from cracking the Top 10…and am already back at it…working towards that goal!

My usually strong routine pulled my overall placing down this time.  The day before I left for Texas I tore a small tendon in my calf and spent the day in the Orthopedic Surgeons Office!  He gave me some non-narcotic pain medicine and told me that performing would be VERY painful and not advisable.  Not being one to quit…I went back to the gym that night and limped through my routine, re-choreographing and pulling out every jump, turn and leap.  During the show, every move on stage was painful, but I made it through!! Needless to say, the "wow factor" suffered and my scores were a reflection!

The calf thing was a bummer, but it can’t ruin my excitement of the physique placing!  I am more determined than ever!!

 I am posting a couple of "backstage shots".  The first one is with my friend and Fitness Pro Sandra Wickham and the other is with awesome FBB and fellow Florida Girl, Deb Laszewski!!

Tonite I am posting some pics we took late this afternoon during and after my training/posing session at the spur of the moment.  They’re kinda neat…I’m not made up or anything and am still sweaty from training.  Something different just for fun…let me know whatcha think!

11 days left until my show!  I am so excited…not only to be on stage but to see all my friends in the sport and just be around it all!  For those of you who haven’t been to the Eurpoa, it is AWESOME!  The Pariso’s do a FANTASTIC job with this event!

This weekend I am headed to see my trainer, Mike Davies in Ohio one last time before heading to Dallas next week.  Mike is truly the BEST in the business and I would recommend anyone to go to Ohio for the weekend and one of his camps!  On any given weekend you are surrounded by the best Pro’s and National girls.  His training is second to none, and the atmosphere is TRULY motivating!

 A big thanks to everyone who has been e-mailing me with your support!!  I will keep you informed!
