Tamar at the BB.com Booth and…..
my progression for the Southern States!
OK, I am going to start off with the Fitness Universe Pageant in Miami this past weekend! It was GREAT! For one thing, I got to spend time with my beautiful friend and the 2nd place winner of the short class figure division, Ava Cowan! Ava looked amazing and should have won! The show was well put together and my husband and I had a blast working the booth!!!!!
Working the booth for bodybuilding.com was a lot of fun! People loved us! They were coming up to us and telling us how much they loved us and Bodybuilding.com! We had one of the best booth’s there, especially as far as what we were giving people! We were hanbing out free protein packets, muscle cell volumizer, protein bars, towels, key chains, iPod Nano holders, car air fresheners, and more. People wanted to come up to us and just tell us how much they loved Bodybuilding.com!!!! It is GREAT working for a company that people LOVE!!!! 
Even my husband had a blast dealing with the people and helping me out! Thank God he was there helping me!
I love going to Miami, but I love coming home, too! Everything is SO expensive over there! I have no idea how peeple do it all the time!
I got to meet some awesome people, too! I met Debbie B. (Natural Muscle Magazine), Lou Zwick (Promoter of the FAP), Yaxeni Oriquen (Miss Olympia 2005 and Miss International 2006), and others!
OK, so, how am I coming along for the Southern States???? Well…..we will have to see later….I will do some updating about that by the end of the week! This Friday will be the 2 week out mark. I am supposed to get my suits tomorrow from Suits You Swimwear in Tampa! I am excited! Talk soon. XOXo Tamar

That’s great you had fun working the booth. It is fun! By the way I remember very well when we came up with the idea for that bag you are holding in the photo! It was a fun meeting!

Hi Tamar, this is Mike Witmer! Im so proud of you for doing the southern states. of course Christi and I kept up with you, we both think a lot of you and Sammy! We would have went to the show, but Christi had just done a show, and was burnt out on the entire scene and needed a break. She won her class and the overall!
I know a ton of the judges, the gym Christi trains at in lakeland is a big female figure and body building gym, the lady that runs it is a head judge. We asked around to see how you did. Everyone we talked to said you needed to put on some more quality muscle. it looked as if you did a lot of machines and lighter weights. Just because its figure, dont be afraid to do compound movements. The figure girls at christis gym do squats (free bar, not smith machine) sumo deadlifts, rows, benches etc, and no machines. They train right along with the big bodybuilding chicks. Dont be afraid to get big like the bodybuilding chics, they are on drugs is why they are big! Dont over do the cardio either, that will burn muscle, and actually make you look smoother. stay in touch, my e mail is musclehed250@hotmail.com….PS, love your website, all I have to say is WOW!!!!
