I have to honestly say that I am excited for the Arkansas show.  I can not believe the changes that have occured in just 2 weeks after the branch warren.  I am quite a bit more ripped and toned with definition coming in nicely. My suits have been redesigned and they look great, much higher cut and open on the one piece.  I also learned a little trick to my poses that really brings out the muscle.  We are going to do photos and get them up on the progress portion of my page and a few on my site as well www.nicolejoiner.com    I have a much harder look about me and going to measure my height for sure as at the Branch Warrent they said I was 5′7" so have to see what I actually am.  Bought new shoes that are 1/2" higher in the heel as well to give the illusion of taller and leaner, whew those babies bring out your legs.  Well look for new pics on Monday in the afternoon.

Well it is a week after the Branch Warren and what a learning experience.  It was just chaos back stage and being a frst time competitor I was a bit nerved and running on 2 hours of sleep did not help.  I goofed on my tan (not dark enough) and they did not oil me before I went on stage which, Paul had to come get me and get me lined up, that just threw everything and first round was dead for me.  The 2nd in my bikini was much better and got scored alot better but the first round ended it for me.  Hey I am not ashamed at all and learned alot of what not to do.

I have my sights set on the Arkansas State Championships 8/16/2008 and will be much better and shooting for a top 3 placing.  I am training my A_ _ off heavy weights and a few new exercises.  BF is still on the low side and will have pics up Tuesday from practicing tomorrow night.  I will also hpefully have contest shots on my website and a few here.  My suits were not cut quite right (her first time to lol) but that has been corrected and they will look great. 

 To my new friend Ishmael thank you for your support and sending me pictures.  It was great to meet you.  Also Kathy TY for urging me to get back up and get out there and going to eat some ribs after this just for you.  Take care everyone and never stop believing or trying, it is when we stop those two things that our dreams die!
