The Kitty Gato’s BodyBlog

Well I did it, and I can’t beleive I did..I actually followed through and got up on stage..wow time flies..seems like just the other day I was debating on if I could really enter a figure competition. It was the best experience I have ever encountered in my life..and I think I am addicted..I am truly sad it is over. But this is just the beginnig. I plan on doing another on in the spring on my birthday March 28, 2009.

I did not place at this competition, but it was still worth it and definately a great experience.  There were 14 girls in my class, which is rather large..but that just gives me a better excuse to work harder for next season!

Overall everything went well without a hitch. The night before I got my Jan Tana spray tan, it was literally a spray tan party. There were 5 other girls there that were getting the tan as well..so it was nice to get to know some of the other competitors. I brought my little sis with me..because I didn’t help blow drying my body. She had no idea what she got herself into..hahaha a bunch of naked lean oompa loompas getting spray tanned then blow dryign themselves with a blow dryer…a pretty funny sight to say the least. I ended up getting 5 coats of Jan Tana..you can’t be too dark.

That morning got up and ready for pre judging. Can I just tell you..it is hard to do makeup when your face it 10 shades darker than you are use to hahaha. After about an hour of playing with my makeup to make everything look natural and blend well it finally looked good. For once my hair cooperated and took like 10 mins to do…thank God.

We got there, had a meeting before pre judging then it was go time. Got all dressed and ready to get out on that stage. I wasn’t even nervous..I thought for sure I would be dying. Since my class was SO BIG we were out there doing quarter turns for an eternity..I we all worked up quite the sweat..I can honestly say my body is still sore from holding all those poses. After the first round of pre judging I was sooo excited to come back out in my one piece..it is just a rush to get on stage..it’s a feeling hard to explain. Once all the pre judging was over I knew I was hooked..I loved it! Now we just had to kill time before the night show, so we went home and relaxed, I also had to fix my makeup and hair..since I was a big greasy mess

Now the night show. This is when my nerves really kicked in. I think it’s because I knew there were so many people in the crowd there to watch me. I got out on stage and did my model poses and turns..and I pretty much rushed through them because I was nervous, next time I have to slow down!!! Now for the one piece round, I wasn’t nervous anymore..now I was just having fun. So I went back on stage and just winged it..just did some random poses that came to me..it was great! And then it was over   I am sad it is over..I want to do another one in like 5 weeks…ahhh oh well. I will train my ass off all winder long and be ready to kill it in 2009! I can’t wait to get back on stage! After the show my family and I went out to sushi..I honestly wasn’t even hungry at all..but it still hit the spot. I splurged a little on Sunday as well..IHOP, Ice cream, spaghetti, garlic bread, chocolate..I didn’t really miss all that junk..I can definately live without it. I am back on track today with my diet and workouts..can’t wait to hit up the gym!!!
