Well Saturday was OCB. I did very well and I was so happy with the whole experience. Luckily Tiffani Bachhus was competing with me and could help me stay on track. We practiced posing and walking and she helped me with my makeup, etc.
I ended up getting 5th in Fitness Model which was an OPEN. So there were girls there 15 years younger than me and I actually beat them. No one was more surprised than me. It was a great feeling. Than I was chosen 3rd in Figure in my age class (Masters). So all and all it was a great time.
Definitely there are big things to work on and so I am stepping it up to the next level. I have to get ready for Fitness America in Las Vegas Nov 18-21. I want to be at the next level for that show. My friend and colleague Paula Owens is going to give me her advice this week and order some new supplements for me. My abs are a real source of problems for me. No matter how lean I get they always hold me back and refuse to cooperate. So that is my goal for this competition.
Honestly I have given myself a few days off as my body is tired. I am really having trouble these last few days to jump back on the dieting bandwagon. I will get my butt in gear but boy is it hard. Once you get a taste of some choc. chip cookies and brownies (all gluten free) it is hard to back off. I feel that I have been dieting forever and mentally it gets hard. Once you get on stage and have the experience it is all worth it but you do have to remember your goals.
Today I had a meeting with some people from Gannet which is the owner of The Arizona Republic and some TV channels here. I am going to be the cover model for a new health and fitness magazine! I am so excited and today I went down there to choose wardrobe and get to know everyone. So next week is the shoot and I am looking forward to see myself on the cover!
Well that is all from me. I am going to listen to a teleconference with Cathy Savage and try to learn more stuff.
Have a great night.

Show number 2
It has been a few days since I have written and this is because by the time I get everything around the house cleaned up for the night I head straight to bed. Also, I won't have to fight off hunger pains as well and I can look forward to breakfast.
Well tomorrow is OCB. I am happy to report there are 6 other women in my category so this will be better than last time. I am feeling a little better now, however a few hours ago I was in a deep hole. I just sat here feeling terrible. But it passed and I got up ate a little dinner and now I am having a green tea before I head to bed.
I took my first polygraph test this afternoon which was interesting. You start to feel warm the longer you sit there and that starts to make you feel uneasy so I was nervous my test would come off bad. Luckily I made it through with flying colors. After that I drove to get more tanned. I can't believe how dark you have to be to do this and I have decided that tanning is the worst part of this. You stick to everything and leave brown stains everywhere. I am sitting on towels as I write this and I will sleep on towels as well. Just the thought of being in this stuff all day with no shower is gross.
Soon I will get up and pack my bag for tomorrow. I have to be there by 8:30 a.m. to check in and the meeting for the competitors is at 9 am. Prejudging is at 10 a.m. and then we will see. It will be a long day however it will help me get better on stage which is what I need. I would really like to do well in Las Vegas in November and make a good showing so this is leading me to that goal.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
