That was fun… let’s do it again
I’m all depleted and starting to load. Mmmm the warm fuzzy feeling of carb loading. 2 more sleeps and I’m on stage in Whyalla. Looking at the results from last year, it could be a walk in the park, there was only 1 female competitor last time. I know at least one girl from the SA titles will be there this year. I’d rather a decent competition, but want to get to the nationals just for the experience and to meet the other girls and JD (in person).
My official placing for last weekend was 6th, but then everyone else got 6th too. I was initially very dissapointed with the result but I had such a good time and unleashed the show-pony inside of me that I couldn’t be upset for too long. It was too much fun. I think it’s so awesome that Kim, the promoter, gave little trophies to everyone who competed. I feel so proud everytime I pass mine.
In the last week I’ve concentrated on my posing and trying to get a little leaner (cardio, cardio, cardio). I’m very excited that tonight I’ve finally got a session with Terry Roberts to go over my posing. We’ve been eyeballing each other not sure who each other was all week in the gym so it made for a funny phone call today when she returned my enquiry. She also said that I was looking much better in the gym yesterday than I was on stage (grr), so hopefully, between her and JD’s worrying I can come in a lot better on Saturday.
I am getting more and more excited about off-season training and eating. I don’t mean eating crap. I mean getting some good food in, to get some good size on. I’m still figuring out the best way to set measurable goals for my off-season plan to build massive shoulders (with glutes to match). I’ll be discussing my goals with JD as soon as all this comp malarky is over. I feel so feircely determined to build a better body, must be my stubborn streak.
In the meantime here are my quads (tara inspired):
